weve benn having problems with the above.
First problem was that stuff was coming out feeling 'grainy' , which
dissolved away quite easily.

Weve used it till the salt/rinseaid was empty and refilled them but no
improvement.
Now there is till detritus left on cutlery.

Bowls seem to be affected worse.
All parts of dishwasher affected
ive had the rotating arms off and flushed them throughand they are clear,
and Ive had the filters out and cleaned them out.

Where do I ( or someone else) look next?

last time a little man came to fix it (on guarantee) lots of perfectly good
bits seemed to have been replaced (I wasnt in at the time ) , so i'd like
to hav some ide of where the problem might lie if it a bit beyond me to
diagnose and /or fix it

Check all pipes/connections to the 'twirly bit' (technical term!) inside
the washing cavity. We had a similar problem and the connector was
cracked and leaking water directly into the machine rather than making
it pass through said 'twirly bit'.

Divorce and marry a new one for dishwashing
;-)

fixed - guy came to do it.


Watrer is recycled through one of the holes at te bottom under the filter
adn then pases throught a pressure sensor on the LH front side. The pipe
from the base of the DW passes through float/pressure sensor. the entry
pipe was gunged up - just needed dynarodding out with a small length of
plastic

First, I would turn the machine on, then when it is running at full
throttle, open the door* to make sure the rotating arms, are doing as
expected.

Then take it from there...

*A little bit, but be prepared for a slight soaking, these things seem to be
quite high pressure!

Bosch DW - John Lewis.

Arms are rotating & lots of hot water around when its in mid-cycle.

Anyone any ideas ?

Is the built in softener set correctly for the local water? Also are
you using decent dishwasher powder/tablets?

Also have you tried dishwasher cleaner on a hi temp cycle? Maybe the
pump is gunged up.

Also try asking at:

weve tried dishwasher cleaner on an emptry DW at 75% a couplf times -
still not working properly.

Arms are rotating
water is hot
Its not truncating the cycle.

Weve found the DW tablet lying in the bottom of the machine ( largely
undissolved except for the little red ball) a couple of times

Use a washing up bowl and a squirt of detergent. Amazingly it does the
same job with no 240v electrical bits to go wrong and in about a tenth
of the time whilst using miniscule amounts of water. By changing you
also get to chuck away/sell about half your crockery and gain another
600mm floor unit for storage.

i bought a d/w 2 years ago and have never had a problem, it was only
about £180 if it broke down tommorrow i wouldnt be upset as it has
served me very well this far!

my advice, nip off and buy a brand new one for mothers day!

two birds, one stone eh?

had the bits accessible from the inside all out again.
filter are clear.
Under the grille there are 3 channels (approx 1/2" diameter). One (@ 9pm)
is for pumping out. Dont know about the other 2 - but they are both clear.
below the grille are 2 small (~2mm) holee which are clear - at least whe
poked with a nylon bristle brush down the hole.

How do i get at the pump ?
