Problem, gents. I got shot of a Zanussi with almost terminal bearing problems and replaced it with the forum darling, a bosch WVD245SEG-works great, except for one recurring problem . It’s been raised with Severn Trent, who blame it on a bug. All of the water entry trays end up with a black deposit. Wife has got rid of most of it, but we now have a problem with softener not being taken out of the drawer. I’d suggest it’s a problem with blocked input water ,but how to cure/keep clear.
