    Hi – My DWF417 works OK but recently we have noticed that upon opening, immediately after the cycle has finished, it is nowhere near as hot as it used to be and so when we come to emptying it the pots are still damp.

    Before, the pots used to be really hot and dried themselves after a shot time.

    I have tried running it on a hotter setting but it ended no hotter.

    All suggestions gratefully received.

    Hi everyone, I forgot to mention that I got the dishwasher from IKEA. Can anyone point me at the SERVICE manual for this appliance? (I already have the user manuals).

    Sounds like a no heat issue but, it should error out if the heater or stats are kaput.

    On service manuals… http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/fix- … nuals.html

    Hi K and thanks for this reply.
    The fault is intermittent now – sometimes it does heat up fully. I’m guessing a loose connection somewhere.
    Shame about the manuals but I understand.
    I think I’ll give “take it apart and put it together again” approach and see if that sorts. it.
    Thanks again.
