Thank you Dave for all the help – I tried a couple of things but could not work out much more from before – in the end I gave in to the ‘noise’ and purhcased a new Bosch DW – all fitted and no more washing up..!!

Thanks

Thanks again Dave – There seems to be plenty of water in the dishwasher when its going but have no idea how to check the pressure – Nothing has changed in its setup and has been the same for years – I start by looking at the water feed in and check that there is no blockage in the cold feed I guess and trace from there.

Is there some kind of an inlet pump that may have failed/got blocked per chance that is reducing the flow perhaps?

Cheers

On further reading, that turbidity sensor is not related – I gather it looks at the ‘cleanliness’ of the water to determine how dirty the dishes are 🙂

I also suggest slightly incorrectly above – I always get continuity across the heater – I get continuity of the thermostat only when i press the button inside the housing – I’m guessing that is correct anyway as per nay simple circuit.

The heater I took out has continuity when I press the small thermostat ‘button’ (inside the housing of the heater) – I assume the thermostat moves making the ciruit and when pressed I get continutity across the heater – and this is on the old one I took out – given the new heater did work for the first wash I’m wondering if there is a wiring fault going to the unit – I have seen other posts talikng about some blue wire from the control panel to the thermo..

I would think it strange that both thermostats had gone. Especially the second unit being a new one – it there another thermo I need to find though – looking on the parts site I can see mention of a Turbidity Sensor when searching for thermostats.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for all the advice – the heater arrived, I swapped the old one out with the new and put it all back together and in place – I ran a wash through and all was fine with nice hot water so all sorted…… or so I thought….

The next day however, I put a wash on as usual but the heater is again not heating the water. The replacement came with the thermostat included as its all built into the heater.

Any ideas where I need to look next or clues on what could be causing the issue?

Thanks
Ashley

Thanks again Dave,

sorry for one last question – I see the hoses are connect with what I think are crimp clips – are these a one time deal (and need replacing with new – perhaps jubilee style) or can they be reused?

Thanks

Thanks Dave,

yes floor pan came out and I can get to it all – No tsure how I’d test the heater as there seem to be loads of wires under there all grouped together.

I can run my meter across the connectors (once its unplugged) to test the heater ‘coil’ itself but not sure much further than that

Thanks for the advice re removal – It would probably become obvious once accessible.

Thanks Dave,

I actually found the part already – I paid £28 + £3 delivery and am expecting it to arrive next Wednesday.

The big question though is is there a how to or video on how to remove the old one – it seems to be connected to a lot more parts and just want to make sure I don’t break anything or go a long way round a simple job.

Thanks
Ash
