Bosch Exxcel dishwasher problems!
Hi All
We treated ourselevs to a dishwasher last year - a Bosch Exxcel. It worked fine for just over a year - but now it's playing up. Although it seems to actually wash thing reasonably well - glasses and cutlery are left with a 'grey-white' film - which is slightly greasy to the touch. Originally we ran the dishwasher with 'tablets' only (we thought that this was OK...) Since then we've tried adding salt and rinse aid - but we still have problems with this 'film' after washing. We use well-water in the house... I've taken the machine apart as far as I dare g - taken off the rotating arms and checked that they are clear, also cleaned out the filters in the base of the machine. The one thing I've not yet checked is the filter in the water inlet (according to the instruction book there bay be one fitted as part of the inlet pipe). Can anybody suggest what the next step should be - preferably not calling an an engineer ! How do you get at the innards of the machine in order to look for further blockages - do you need to get at the underside of the machine to do this ?? Many thanks in advance Adrian Suffolk UK ======return email munged================= take out the papers and the trash to reply |

HI 'N'
Thanks for the reply On Wed, 25 May 2005 05:07:02 GMT, "NSM" wrote: "Adrian Brentnall" adrian-the papers and the wrote in message news Originally we ran the dishwasher with 'tablets' only (we thought that this was OK...)

It was tested for the usual 'nasties' when we moved here - about 5 years ago. The list of tests included such favourites (!) as Total coliforms Faecal coliforms Clostridia Nitrate Flouride and Turbidity. And the water was fine on all counts. We only once had a problem with the water after a couple of days of very heavy rain - when it went cloudy for a day or two - but I don't think that's the cause of the problems. The small 'run' I did last night in the dishwasher looked better than before - having managed to 'turn on' the water softener maybe things will continue to improve...?
