Hello all,
I’ve just found this forum and was hoping that somebody is “fortunate” enough to have the IKEA Rengora integrated Dishwasher?
We’ve recently moved into a house in where we inherited an IKEA kitchen which was installed around 3-4 years ago.
The dishwasher itself has been great for the past few months since we moved in but very recently, it appears that the items inside of the dishwasher aren’t drying as much as they was meaning we’re having to use a dish cloth to remove the excess water.
I’ve had a play around with the settings on the dishwasher from the manual as apparently the dishwasher has an automatic door open function when selected cycles are complete so speed up drying process… since I’ve had a “tinker” around with the system, it appears that since then these issues have arisen.
I have checked the water hardness of what the machine is set too – it was 5 (half way) the actual water in my property is soft so I’ve set it to three.
I have checked the filter and cleaned it (wasnt that bad).The dishwasher salt light is on – would this be a reason? I need to purchase some tonight to top it up a little.
This morning, after leaving it on over night for a cycle -the items on the bottom rack appear clean and 75{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} dry, the frying pan on top is soaking wet but appears very greasy and has a pale white residue all over it.
Could anybody be of any assistance?
Thank you!
to be able to wash unit needs detergent, water agitation, heat and time
the salt is for water softening. there is a small amlout in the tablets but in harder areas its not enough
what kind of tablets are you using. 3 or 5 in one tablets need longer to disolve so require longer programmes
have you checked the revolving bars
1 the holes are free, get lots of them blocked
2 they can revolve as again seen lots where bad loading or the like means they jamlastly does it get hot. if it does check that it is actually heating as if it plumbed to hot water you may think it is. look for lots of steam
also let me know Model number and pnc code as its probably electrolux (zanussi built )

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply, im out at present but will update tonight with a model number/pnc code.
We use finish ones (with the white/blue and red dot) but will be buying the aldi ones this evening as we used these before and they worked fine in our old dishwasher. (indesit)
I’ve checked the bars – one of the holes was blocked which I pulled something sticky from yesterday.
I do hear a quiet knocking noise like its slowing down the bar – maybe this could be an issue due to potential bad loading?It does get hot and there is steam -from what I can remember – i’ll give another run this evening.
so I’ve returned home and have cleaned filter and the rotary again.
ive also added a fairy cleaning tablet, I’ve put it on the longest setting, it’s been on for around 30 mins now and still no hot water? It’s just cold!model number is ghe623da1
prod no 911 535 073hope this helps !

this may well be the correct heater but you need to check
there are 3 different heater depending on motor fitted so you need to ask shop to identify correct one
first you need to find heater, disconnect wires and using a low ohms scale look to see if its blown

Thank you for the reply, I did contact a local white goods engineer also, without looking at the system itself but giving the pnc / model number he quoted £185 for the part only, which he described as a pump and heater complete, I managed to find the same type which I believe is the below….
direct from Electrolux
https://shop.electrolux.co.uk/dishwashers/dishwashers/motors-pumps/dishwasher-circulation-pump-heater-motor/p/4055373759what is the difference between this and the one you’ve found?
thanks

the one i found is just the heater. Its available as a seperate part. as long as the motor is ok then you dont need it
there are 3 heaters depending on motor and configuration but the one i linked is the one i have seen most.
that engineer is being silly
have you looked here for an engineer

ive contacted Electrolux direct, they’ll be sending somebody out next week, it’s costing me £135 and no more. Parts and labour, not bad really ?
