I have just acquired a Bush WQP6-3202 FS11 sink-top dish washer in good condition. However it is not cleaning properly. All the usually checks have been done such as filters, the spray arm and so on. I did one maximum intensity wash when we got it back to clear any possible disturbances and one light wash afterwards which on the surface of things seemed to be fine. However, when I have come to do subsequent washes they are just not cleaning. I tried the soak/pre wash cycle too before doing another full wash later, but no difference. Food still encrusted on with hot chocolate etc still inside the cups. Hubby did checks all again and this time we just put a few items in with large spaces between them so there was no excuse for over-loading. Did a normal wash and although slightly better the food and debris was still on, in fact even worse as the heat from the final cycle had made it seem embedded on.
Is there anything else we can try and any other reason for it doing this? Hubby is pretty good at repairing/trouble-shooting etc but even he is getting fed up.

check to make sure the water is getting hot during the cycle

Sorry, I should have said; yes, it is piping hot.

If it’s not showing an error code (blinking lights on the front) then it will be the main PCB which is obsolete now

Argos are still selling these models, so I don’t understand why they are obsolete. Apparently the one I have is 18 months old. I’m so annoyed and feel I have been ‘done’. The woman said she was only selling because she had been given a slimline one by her daughter. If she has pulled a fast one it is the first time I have been conned. Not a pleasant feeling, particularly if there is nothing I can do to fix it. 😥

I didn’t say the model was obsolete, I said the part was.
And currently those within the 12 month warranty are being exchanged when this part fails.
Unfortunately it’s what happens when the Chinese make a £100 dishwasher.

Hubby has had another go while I was out today. He loaded the plates at an angle the opposite way and half were clean, similar thing with the cups/mugs. That was on the most intensive cycle too. He is wondering despite the sound of the water swishing round etc if there is some sort of pressure problem from within the pump, or even a washer or something that is missing that is causing a lack of pressure. I looked at similiar threads and there was one that gave a link to picture of the inside panel off showing muck and yuck in some sort of opaque-ish plastic thing in the side. Although not this make is it worth trying to take it off and have a look to see if this is the problem? It is not economical nor saving on health if half of them have to be put through again or washed by hand. I suppose if all fails then it could have been worse if I had paid more than £35. So much for a bargain 👿

“Hubby” is gonna have to get more hands on and check the water inlet side of things and the circulating pump. These cheap as chips machines are never economic to fix by us in the trade so our experience with them is zilch. In fact I don’t believe any of those machines are ever fixed, the cost is simple beyond economic intervention. Argos just replace and bin any faulty ones. So your 35 quid could have been better spent,sad to say.
Table top dishwashers are best avoided too, no matter what make. 🙁

Problem is, ‘Social Housing’ designers do not have to live or work in the homes they provide and design! I am struggling so much for space and work surfaces as it is. Hubby had already utilised every space and bit of wood, and cupboard going. There really is no room for even a slimline dishwasher. It is just the sink with usual cupboard underneath. Washing machine is underneath where the draining board is. Compact dishwasher is on the extension that goes over a draw and cupboard. Apart from the expense preventing us from having one; there is no room at all for a tumble-dryer.
What makes compact dish-washers less reliable than others?
Dishes not cleaning (yes, I have read the relevant article).
Their extremely small size scaled down components are more prone to failure. 🙁
Re: Dishes not cleaning (yes, I have read the relevant artic
Obvious now you have said it, I should have thought about that. Guess it might be back to doing things by hand! A woman’s work is never done, :stir: and I guess poorly made compact dishwashers have no sympathy for those of us with health probs. Thank you for your suggestions and insight anyway.
