[Closed] dishwasher issues.

I sometimes get that t_r. Bosch as well. Cups/mugs of varying sizes sometimes - not always - with as you say fine ground coffee baked on. TBH I haven't resorted to any of the methods or options above !!

About 8 / 9 years old - bought new when we moved in..

Same here - I suspect some sort of rhythmic pulsing of the spray which causes the dirty area.
And why the hell can they not make rotating spray heads which split apart so that you can clean them properly?

mine do geoff , i have split and cleaned - there was nothing in there....

i suspected clogged pump hence why i took it apart as above. - was all as clean as a whistle . not a hardwater area anyway.

mine do

Just checked mine again and nope, they don't come apart 👿

I've given it all a clean again though - which does seem to help for a short while.

reading up

it does sound like that two things that bosch dishwashers dont like -all in one tablets instead of powder and not using rinse aid....

how ever its worked fine for 3 years .....

It also sound like i need to check that the fill level sensor in the base is working right - which means opening it mid cycle and checking how much water is in the base - it should be nearly door level , if the level delios stuck then it will drain out and leave only a little for the rinse cycle.

I use all in one tablets all the time with ours. The only time it's does that is when there's something stuck in the sprayers but you've checked that.

Can you drill an additional hole possibly at an angle to help said area?

Connect spray head nozzles to an air compressor and blow the crap backwards out of them/.

Don't stick any detergent / salt in it and run it with a go-pro and a light in it?

a go pro would cost me more than the dishwasher did 😉 - i know , its shocking but im not enduro enough to film my self gnar shreading 😀

Weird, I have the exact same issue with our Siemens but on the bottom tray. Front left, if I stick a glass in it doesn't get cleaned and it's only a recent thing.

Thinking about it the only recent change I've made is temporarily running the drain hose over the top of the adjacent cabinet into the service void (no worktop fitted yet). Probably poor pump pressure at a guess. Might drop it back down and see what happens.

Oh, and I know you're not [i]that[/i] daft but don't go opening it mid cycle with a tablet inside. First time is usually okay but the second is like a foam party (was investigating dodgy seal).

I once ran out of tablets and used washing up liquid instead.
How I laughed as I spent hours cleaning up the mass wall of bubbles that appeared in the kitchen.

Just leave that part of dishwasher empty, problem solved.

How much dishes to 2 people use anyhow? I suspect either you are scrimping on cleaning product (like fuel roulette) or a poor stacking system. Do you allow mrs TR to stack dishes? Mrs B is forbidden to even attempt loading dishwasher.

Have you tried liquid detergent? We get it sometimes and I think it is just certain areas have black spots but ensuring there is rinse aid in and using liquid seems to minimise the issue.

(Had the same problem with a Smeg, Seimens, Kenwood and our current machine (no idea what make it is, it came with the house - I think it *might* be a Bosch though).

haha - i once did washing up liquid thing at centreparcs once (as they are tight ****ers and only give you 2 tables for your 600quid rental).

oh how we laughed when we returned from the pool to a kitchen (and 1/2 chalet) chest deep in foam!!

Washing up liquid in a dish washer, shame
on you.

I have however put it in a washing machine and filled the kitchen to about 2 feet in foam

I think if you ran a hose down the appliance trap you might win (we do that at work when giving the water treatment plant resin beds detergent cleans) but I wouldn't want to put money on it.

I feel a new mumsnet/facebook 'top tip' coming on.

Well i decided to do as my google foo instructed and try ditching the tablets in exchange for powder , salt and rinse aid , all aldis finest cheap shit last wednesday

Not had a single issue since , 5 loads. Where it was pretty consistantly leaving residue before .

I shall update if it starts again as it seems to coincidental to be the issue , how ever it did seem to stop over night.

I've run ours with laundry liquid a couple of times and it's been better. May need to buy some proper dishwasher liquid detergent and give that a whirl.

Well its back. Its coincided with two things to the day... Running out of salt.....and the mrs buying asda own brand tablets instead of powder........

Guess what im doing on the way home....

Stopping off for 90mins of cheeky singletrack fun?

Picking up a new Mrs?

Salt? Never used it didn't think it was need oop here lad. Water is soft enough

run it with a go-pro and a light in it?

Only on here would that be a reply to a dishwasher thread! 🙂

Get some cheap Oxy Clean from Poundstretcher or Asda, they type with no perfume in it and add that to the drawer with tablet. Works brilliant for me.

"Salt? Never used it didn't think it was need oop here lad. Water is soft enough"

filled the salt up last friday night.... it hasnt left any crap on the cups since even using own brand tabs.

ill stick to me methods they seem to be working... still a bollex mind but 2 quid every couple of months is better than a new dishwasher 😀

we aint on mains supply either bruneep so could be anything in the water.
