Diagnosing a problem can be expensive and placing that money towards a new one instead may be a better idea.

You're right! The only time it's worth repairing is if it's under warrantee or if it's the main water feed hose which is fairly easy to change.
You can get a hose kit at HD. You can usually feed it through and connect it behind the lower front panel without removing the dish washer. A good handy man could take care of it if the owner is unable to.
If you call an appliance repairman it will cost you almost as much as replacing it.
