    Thanks to Martin’s handy hint, my dishwasher is now back in full working order.

    Thanks for that little nugget of information Martin, I’ll attack the beast over the Easter weekend when I have a bit more time.

    No, our youngest tenant is 19, a student, the eldest is over 70.
    The 19 year old is the cleanest and tidiest resident I’ve ever seen, her flat always looks like a show home.

    I work for a property letting company in central London, we have 36 machines installed in our studio flats.
    We actively look on eBay for older Bosch machines which are able to have bearing changes, and don’t come with as many fancy electronics. We’ve found these are much more cost effective than the £200 sealed tub jobbies from the likes of Argos or Currys.
    I always keep a couple in stock, which are stripped down, cleaned out and serviced. We leave a laminated “cut down” version of the user manual, with the instruction to do a monthly service wash at the highest temperature, and to leave the machine door ajar and occasionally clean out the soap drawer, which most of our tenants actually do, !
    We get very few complaints of smelly machines.
    Last year, our total outlay for spares, repairs and buying 3 machines off eBay was just less than £560. When we used to use the cheap £200 machines the annual outlay was over £1500.
