Candy dishwasher CDW254 ** Water Leak ** – please help

[zaff]

Hi, first time on here wonder if you can help me please. I have recently acquired a used Candy dishwasher.
Two issuess:-

(1) When put through a wash cycle, it leaks water from the right hand, around middle (froont to back), side of the machine when looking at it from the front. About a mug full of clean water. I tried to tip the machine to one side and have a look where it was coming from. It is hard to tell as the water just runs to the side I tip the machine to. If I was to guess I would say it is coming from near or from the salt tank (but it is a guess!)

(2) The upper tray items don’t seem to clean. The spray arm is very stiff and doesn’t turn easily. There is no food blockage as I have checked it. The plastic mount that holds the metal spray arm onto the upper plastic tube/arm is maybe the culprit as it seems very hard to rotate it. Also when I spin the arm by hand it is very wobbly (it has a lot of movement in this plastic mount) and hits the back of the dishwasher (plastic water channel) very easily. Which part do I replace?

Number (1) above is the most important to resolve as I have just laid a new laminate kitchen floor and it is going to be ruined. What could it be? if it is difficult for me to sort how much is an engineer going to charge (top end)? Will they be able to diagnose it easily?

Appreciate your help, as funds are real tight!

thanks,

Zaff 😕

If you replace the upper and lower sleeve to the top spray arm, that should solve the problem (Part Numbers are 91600275 & 91600276 ) available by emailing the details to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk
