I sorted the problem after scouring the net.

2 or 3 holes were partially blocked in the spray bar.
UNBLOCKED.

Basket wheel missing so the basket was cross-jostled and not sitting square to the water inlet on the back of the machine resulting in water leakage before it got into the spray bar.
REPLACED.

The rubber sealing gasket on the top drawer..at this very point, was deformed so the full water pressure was not entering the spray bar
REPLACED.

Filled up with salt and GOOD QUALITY rinse aid.

All good again!!

Hope if this post is te read it will help others as I reckon this is a very common problem.

Ignore that clap trap about purposely leaving dirty food on the plates to assist cleaning

Its the glasses coming out with small spots of food scattered on them that is my problem.
I have since read NOT to part rinse food off plates etc before putting in the dishwasher as the detergent need these food particles to work correctly ???
Dont understand that one.
Then a guy on Fixya suggested to rinse all the flatware before loading it into the machine, to rinse the machine out BEFORE use, to wash glasses first. to spray them with clean water on removal, then to put the flatware plates and cutlery into the machine AFTER the glasses have been washed?

All that pratting about and I may as well wash them all by hand.
But the one about the detergent needing food etc left on the plates to help it do its job is beyond me !!

Dave, I managed to order what I need for now from the Vestral parts list you suggested on spares2repair.
I think I may have ordered what I need.
But thanks

Hi, yes Dave it’s getting very
hot.

I’ll try again using VESTEL in the search for a parts diagram.

I had one last year but not been so lucky this time !

I’ll try again !
