Project Dishwasher problem

Re: Dishwasher problem

There’s a very common problem with Projects around that age where an override/ safety cut-off thermostat burns out. You must isolate the machine from the electricity supply first, then if you remove the bottom panel you’ll see a stainless steel tank on the right hand side, down the left hand side of that, about 3-4 inches from the front edge you’ll see a round brown button stat with two wires connected to it. Sometimes one of the wires burn away. Anyway, if the brown button stat is burnt you’ll need an override stat. There is a way to bridge it to double-check it is the stat, but if you’re not sure what you’re doing I wouldn’t recommend trying it, and it’s such a common fault I’d eat my hat if it wasn’t. Try phoning a local commercial catering equipment company to see if they’ve got one and pop in and see them for it, saves on P&P. To take one of these off you’ll need a small spanner, 5,6 or 7mm, can’t remember right now. Make sure you put it back on properly. It’d be rare for an element on a Project to go so quick, but worth checking with a meter.
