Problem with 9 year old dishwasher - repair or replace?

I have an integrated dishwasher. The problem is no water getting into the dishwasher. I'm not sure whether to replace it or get someone around to repair it. Any suggestions?

Usually cheaper to buy a new one.

Something else could go shortly after the fix.

9years very good life.

Check the water inlet pipe it may be kinked, a sharp bend can collapse over time and kink the pipe stopping the flow.
The inlet solenoid may be stuck, not too expensive to replace you'll just have to weigh up the risk of something else failing soon afterwards (or it could give good service for another nine years).
