Can anyone tell me why my dishwasher never fills sufficiently for the pump to develop enough pressure to spin the spray arms.
I can hear the water inlet valve open and water start to flow but it shuts off after a few seconds. The pump runs but only manages a trickle of water out of the spray arms. If I pour a jugfull of water (about 1 litre) into the sump it then works perfectly until the next fill in the cycle when I again have to top it up. This has been going on for some time now and its getting a bit tedious.
I’ve always done my own washing machine repairs, but dishwashers are new to me. If someone could point me in the right direction with this problem I’d be eternally gratefull.
