Re: Dishwasher broken

Think about the planet Primus.....
Fill sink with hot water, splurge in a small measure of washing up liquid and submerge dirty dishes.
Soak and then agitate with a brush or dish cloth.

Leave to drain for a few moments and then wipe dry with a tea towel.....
No electronics or computers required....
In case you forgot how easy it is.....

Deposit waste of space dishwasher against garden gate to be collected later by the pikeys....

Re: Dishwasher broken

This reminds of a friend of mine who decided to get rid of his fridge so he put it outside his gate with a notice on it. "Good working order, free to whoever wants it" No-one took it. He was advised to put a For Sale notice on it. He did. "For sale, good working order £10 Enquire within" Next morning it was gone!!

Or.....if you have a double sink, fill other with clean hot water and dunk washed dish ect, into the hot water, then leave to dry

That’s roughly how a dishwasher works

WHAT! Two sinks in my kitchen.....

I can barely get two people in there without world war three breaking out......

But I don't need to connect my sink to a 15 amp fuse...

I suppose sometimes it is nice to get out of the way for a while if you know what I mean.

Re: Dishwasher broken

Primus, (l hope your back pain is easing off)
l think l would be very annoyed if my dishwasher had broken down after only two years. I don’t consider that short length of time, to be the life of a dishwasher.
I’m afraid, l would have to write to the man at the top, which l have done a few times and got satisfactory results.
