I doubt if there is a standard but a warning — check the availability of 
service in your area. In DC, it cost $500 for a Hobart service person to even 
come out and look at ours and it took months to get attention. We were 
competing with all the restaurants which understandably (sort of) to precedence.

Tons of service is available for the KitchenAid dishwashers and the site visit 
fee is less than $100 if any at all.
