I know we have touched on this subject in the past but can’t find it 🙁
Minute corroded holes in stainless steel dishwasher tubs/tanks caused by salt deposits, usually in my case found in Bosch Dishwashers 🙄
I recall someone mentioning using a special Bosch available solder (I use epoxy-resin glue but that is only a short-term bodge really) but I cannot find reference to in now, or indeed what part number it may be 😕
Any thoughts would be appreciated 🙂

Re: Corrosion holes in dishwasher tubs.
Do a forum search for “solder” Martin, although it doesn’t reveal much, the posts are there.
Basically: Speak to the Bosch tech dept as there is no part number.

Granville’s Petro Patch Putty – amazing stuff, knocks spots off the epoxy putty that wholesalers supply, machine usable within the hour and it never, EVER leaks.

I knew that if I was to mention water and tight as the prerequisite, the Antartic waddling wonderbird would have an answer, thanks Penguin, your an Emperor among friends 😆

Neat little gadjet Ken thanks, I’ve added ‘Tiny’ to my favourites list now 😉

Timely or what, just had a customer that needs a tank repaired to save scrapping a machine.
Wonder what we could charge contract customers for that sort of service? After all it could save a few bob as well as appease the odd customer.

Re: Corrosion holes in dishwasher tubs.
I haven’t tried Penguins Petro Patch stuff out yet (still waiting on a tube 🙁 ) but one of the problems so often is the location of the corrosion being awkward to seal effectively. For example on the Bosch SGS series the holes appear around the perimeter of the drain filter fixing, and any hole filled with glue/sealant is vunerable to being knocked by the constant filter movement 🙁
As for what to charge? Well, it’s only a 5 to 10 minute job to dry, clean and seal the holes then leave for several hours before using, with not much of a guarantee of a lasting fix I reckon. So at best a cheap fix and no extra charge if it doesn’t 🙄

Plug it from the outside, smooth down what comes through the pin hole and if needs be, sand it flush when set.
Easy peasy.

Yes but to an insurer or manufacturer faced with writing the machine off or us spending the time and effort doing it as opposed to that is what I was getting at. You are quite correct about the warranty on the repair, but for say the likes of D&G, even if it saved one out of every three holed tanks that’s a fair amount of money over the course of a year I should imagine.
