... and if she doesn't get her act together it's right back to Russia with her.:eek: Kidding!!! I'm kidding!!!

My dishwasher ... a whirlpool I believe - isn't cleaning dishes or anything else.
Sometimes the tablets aren't completely disolving either.

We've tried changing tablets, rince aid, cleaning filters, used a dishwasher cleaning pack thing, not putting as much into it, barely half filling it. No joy.

The water is definitely heating.
It's definitely completing it's cycle.
It's three years old.

Ideas?

My thanks in advance.

You'll have to get those salt tablet things, not sure what they're called, but it might work for you...

Get a pin and un-clog (sp?) the jets where the water comes out. Where the water drains out, check is that clear.

Sorted A Face. Many Thanks. I removed the the three blades that shoot out water ...lo and behold clogged up with indeterminate matter :eek: .

Working fine again now.

Mods might want to delete this thread as I've only bumped it to pass on thanks.
