there should be a thermostat with a red reset button, push it gently and it may go click. If yes you have reset it and it should now heat.
If it blows again quickly then we need to figure out why it overheats

Yes lad!!!

Thanks so much, I found the button and it worked first time. You’ve saved me £200 🙂

try running a rinse first then run a programme. do not use the sink while its running.

One thing I forgot to mention is that around 6 months ago the dishwasher started eating me out of house and home of salt. I mean I’d full it up with 2kg or whatever of salt, and by the end of one load it was empty . So I stopped using salt about 6 months ago, and I have “very hard water” according to some website I just came across. Wonder if I’ve allowed lomescale to take over.?

“Stink” was perhaps too strong a word but the cups and plates have a dog smell about them , like an unclean smell.

I’ve inspected the c ring now, it’s in good condition flowing freely from top to bottom and the converse.

I don’t think I can detach the waste pipe from the dishwasher. I certainly cant figure out how with my basic DIY skill.

When you say “rinse” do you mean the setting I have which is intended for pre rinsing heavily soiled plates before a full Cycle? What may that achieve in your thinking?

check the drain to make sure no dirty water from your sink can back fill the unit

Dave

Thanks for the response. Tried a dishwasher cleaner, and tried a full load with a dry sink . My gut says it’s a pressure issue as dirty water would get rid of stains, it would just stink.

Next thing I’m gonna try is disassembling the c “ring” to see if there’s any damage which may cause a loss of pressure

thanks Dave, I’m finding it tricky to find documentation on where this water softener assembly is in my dishwasher, any tips on what i’m looking for please?

Re: All of a sudden glasses are cloudy, feel "residue" on th

like the one on right yea, but

Improper loading of the glasses – item/s masked from the water spray – possibly as the dishwasher was extremely full
Failure to add dishwasher salt to the salt container in the dishwasher
Salt adjustment control set too low – I think it’s on the highest possible
Insufficient detergent – impossible as tablet
Absence of rinse aid – yes but this was not the cause this time
Poor loading of the dishwasher – it was VERY FULL that day…..
Too much rinse aid – no
Too much detergent – impossible as tablet
