Ah thanks, yes. £24 though. I'll have a go at mending first.

The fact they rust in the first place is a bit rubbish. It (Siemens mid
range) is only about 5 years old and not had heavy use.

Dishwashers today have a service life of 3 years before they break and 5
years before they are BER.

Previous one lasted from 86 to 17, 31 years.


You see. That was presumably made 36 years ago, before we joined the
'common market'

Reliability is one of the things I like about some old appliances. 1930s ones are better made, probably only because the less successful 30s ones are long gone. A lot of 30s stuff suffers too much in the way of design issues but some's still good for today's world.
