Thank you everyone for the leads, but even they say trash it an buy a new one - oh well it's only money. 
What is the model number and what is it doing? I have a really difficult time with saying it cannot be fixed.....
New stuff is crap, I have a 2 year old dishwasher by Kitchen Aid that toasted a motor, then replaced that and it seized in 6 months
Took it all the way apart and found that the impeller was a plastic POS and the shaft of the motor was just threaded and would blow through the end of the plastic impeller...Being Mr. Fixit, I made a brass bushing and fit it so the impeller would bottom on the bushing and not the end of the shaft, been working ever since...
My washing machine stopped doing anything at all, replaced the little plastic coupling and va va voom, away she went, then had to replace some cogs in the agitator, works like new...I don't think I spent more than $20 on parts....
Everything can be repaired, it just depends on how many things are wrong with it..
