    Got the above about 6 weeks ago. From day one it’s been making a drowning noise when its washing. This is an intermittent problem. It seems to me as if it isnt allowing sufficient water into the machine.

    I have stopped the machine, filled it up with water and its sometimes corrected it or it seems ok for a while.

    Am scared to call out Bosch in case they say there is nothing wrong and charge me!

    Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

    Thanks.

    Sounds like it isn’t using enough water…the acid test of course is the wash results at the end.
    If you have traces of food left on the crockery, or what looks a bit like black pepper left on things then that is a sure sign.
    Might be worth a call/email to Bosch to confirm and of course if it’s u/g’tee then they will sort it for you…

    Which detergent are you using? Tablets are meant for the full-size, 12 place-settings machines.

    DO NOT USE A FULL TABLET ON THE MAIN WASH: It will cause over-foaming, a poor wash and the machine will ‘drone’.

    I suggest you use powder, and use one level or slightly rounded teaspoon of detergent. Place it in the dispenser.

    If you have heavily soiled pots ‘n’ pans, put an additional level teaspoonful on the bottom area of the door, and set the dial to intensive wash.

    Use a separate rinse-aid. I suggest “Finish”, as it performs best.

    A friend has the Hotpoint version and I’ve noticed that if the dishes are too ‘clean’ going in, the overfoaming can occur.

    I’ve also noticed that using salt in the Hotpoint, in a soft water area can cause streaking of glassware. Only use salt if you are in a medium-to-hard water area.

    Thanks for both your replies. I am going to use powder instead of tablets however, I always use 1/2 a tablet not a full one. We’ll see if it makes any different and I will report the findings back.
