Dishwasher - dishes in top rack dirty
Have been trying to work out why our dishwasher is no longer cleaning
properly (a 5-yr-old Bosch built-in; can't find a model number). Basically, stuff on the top rack, and sometimes on the bottom one, invariably comes out with gritty residue stuck all over it. Things I've tried out/checked: - Ensured spray holes in rotor arms aren't blocked; - Cleaned filter in bottom of machine; - Opened door mid-cycle to check rotor arms move (but can't tell how vigourously though) - Changed detergent (we're in a soft water area so no need for softener) During the wash, water reaches the upper rotor via a flat grey conduit attached to the inside of the machine, and which mates up at the back of the upper rack with an aperture leading to the upper rotor; I'm guessing that for whatever reason not enough water is getting through? How can I tell? One thing I've noticed is that after a cycle, if you lift the filter the water in the machine's sump is really mucky; is that normal or should it be basically clean 'rinse' water down there? Any advice much appreciated! David |
