    Hi

    I wonder if you could advise if my dishwasher is at the end of its life.

    My Bosch Exxcel SGS45E02GB/45 which is just over 2 years old and just out of warranty has suddenly stopped working.

    We put it on overnight as usual but when I got up in the morning, there was a warm smell in the kitchen and the dishwasher still had 128 minutes left on the display.

    When we open the door – the pump seems to still be going.

    It is not taking in water – but when we had a repairman out he filled it manually and it does drain.

    He tilted the machine sideways and banged it a few times at which point it then did start to work – until 3 minutes after he had left.

    He originally thought it might be clogged up and suggested that we tilt it again – but now the display doesn’t move at all – it just makes a noise as if it is draining.

    Also, we have always used good quality 4 or 5 in 1 and Quantum – but we have never put salt in. I have read on this forum that salt should still be used. could this be clarified for future reference.

    Any suggestions – it has been a great machine up until now.

    Have a read of this:

    Basically the same machine, same problem. OP on that thread use a piece of wire – a long skinny bottle brush would produce better results; or a strip down and flush out.

    Regards,
    Penguin45.

    Dear Penguin45

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

    You really know your stuff.

    My OH followed your advice – the pipe was blocked almost solid so we flushed it out, put the machine back together, put it on a quick wash, crossed our fingers, held our breath and then breathed a huge sigh of relief.

    We will take much more care of our machine in future.

    Thanks again.
