I’ve got one where the sump hose has softened slightly due to massage oil residue left in towels.
The softening of the hose has allowed the sump ball to pop upwards.
For now I’ve taken the ball and retaining disc out.
I’m hoping this won’t effect the pressure switch side of things?Is there a different sump hose available which is oil resistant?
I also see this softening of hoses in pubs / schools where they use those unknown boxes of powder.
Re: ISE10 sump
From what I remember of detergent courses over the years the softening of rubber bits is due to insufficient detergent and/or incorrect program selection.

Hi Tim,
Answers as best I can below.

No.

Yup, come across it before. 😕
The machines are designed (as it says somewhere) to be used with domestic detergent only, commercial detergents are a different beast and require machines specifically made to use them. They are also not designed to be used in small capacity domestic machines nor with the components used on domestic appliances.
Using a commercial detergent can also cause other damage, such as corrosion to heaters and any alloys quite badly and this sort of damage is not covered by warranty as it’s the user’s own fault. It can also cause ludicrous overfoaming and a myriad of other problems too.

Re: ISE10 sump
Thanks for answers.
I will leave it as it is then. Ball and disc removed.
Do you stock the clamps for the ISE10? I’ve managed to re-use the old clamp but perhaps I should keep a new one in the van, as this is the second time on two separate 10’s I’ve had to take the sump off.
Re: ISE10 sump
Yeah we have them in stock Tim but, they’re a PITA. 😉
You need a special tool really to put them on and that runs about £70 IIRC! 😮
JW found some alternative clip that worked, I’ll try to find out what it was as it was the same thing as is used on the Whirlpool dishwashers and a host of others.
I can of course get the tool if required, but I’m sure we’d all rather avoid it. 😉
