I have a Servis M4605S dishwasher.

It doesn't wash properly and it doesn't dry the contents.

It goes through the various cycles but evrything comes out either still
dirty or barely clean.

Obviously we top up the salt and rinse aid as required and don't forget
to add the detergent blocks.
I can confirm that the filter at the bottom of the washer is clean and
I have checked the outlet pipe and it is draining as it should.
It is often FULL of grease / fat clinging to the inside of the washer.

My first thought was that it was the heater element at fault, but it
does get hot at one point during the cycle.

I have noticed that the first wash is always cold, is this normal?

Anyone any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Wife is nagging so I must get this sorted soon or buy her a new pair of
marigold's for Christmas.
