Dishwasher help
The dishwasher is playing up ( no i havn't been putting engines in it!) seams that its not getting hot enough?
Any suggestions as i'm not familiar with the inner workings of said machines.
Or best to call out an expert?
Cheers
Ash.

You should have put more engine parts in it, doing this prevents these problems, because the oil resedue lubricates the inner workings.
At least that's what I told my wife

Thought this might be the case as we are in a high limescale area...

What kind is it?
Mine did the same thing (AEG, Electrolux thing), and it was the water heater element. The components are common to loads of brands (including
Zanussi).
If you google it you will come up with some hits. The test is to measure the resistance across the heater element terminals which should be ~10 Ohm
(whatever 2kW is at 240v), open circuit is not a good sign!
They seem to be an unreliable part, which is bad (because they break) but good because you can get OEM parts from e-bay for reasonable money (£40).
Easy to swap.

Some come with a reset button on one of the stats (the white bit on the right) small red button in the centre of the stat, but not all do.
By the way, Electrolux, Bendix, AEG and Zanussi are all made by Zanussi and owned by Electrolux, badge engineering at it's finest

Thanks for the tips, its a Neff so shares its design and parts with Bosch & Siemans....
Going to try bunging in some descaler first to see if it helps if not then will prob get a techi in as i've not got the time really to faf with
it myself.

This has happened twice to our Bosch dishwasher, first time two days out
of warranty which fortunately they honoured.
Bloke turned up with a PCB, went straight to the door, took the front cover off and
swapped said board. Sorted in 5 mins.
First thought was this happens a lot !
5 years on it did, so I went to the board and found a fried section on it, no component
damage just a track gone. Bridged with a bit of solder and wire and it's happy 6 years later.
Took me half an hour.
