Default Dishwasher not washing

Greg wrote:
Hi

Seem to have a bit of a problem with the top shelf of the dishwasher
which means that the dishes placed there do not get washed and the ones
below are only clean-ish. When I turn it on and open the door to see
what's happening it looks like I get a little burst of water from the
top outlet and then nothing else there, even if the bottom arm is
turning and spurting water(although I have not discounted the fact that
there is possibly a valve that alternates water between the top and
bottom arms).

Anyone any ideas on the issue and whether it is worth fixing, or should
I bite the bullet and get a new machine given the cost to repair it?

Thanks!


A very long time ago I used to walk past a shop that had a dishwasher in
the window. Working.

In order to attract interest, after all a white door isn't exactly
rivetting, they had fitted a sheet of clear perspex (or similar) across
the front of the machine. (I assume that they had left the door in the
fully open position - but it might have been removed.) They must have
made the machine "think" that it's door was closed.

Well - it worked. I certainly noticed and still remember.

Do dishwasher engineers have such things? Surely the manufacturers have
them to enable testing (at least during development if not on the
production line)? Strikes me as the obvious answer to this problem -
look and see!
