Thanks everybody. The dishwasher has now been repaired, for free, under warranty. It was indeed a broken heater element.

Thanks. So far so good. The lady on the end of that number was very understanding, mighty impressed that I knew the dishwasher had been manufactured in March 2007 🙂 and we have a visit booked to have it repaired under warranty next Friday afternoon.

Thanks again all…your advice has (hopefully) saved me a lot of money.

Yes we have the receipt. We purchased the dishwasher in April 2007 so we’re still within a two year period. I’ve also found the warranty registration card…which we didn’t return 🙁 I’ll ring the number on the that card for After Sales Service and see if they can help. The number is 08705 678910 unless you can suggest an alternative?

Thanks so much fr this piece of advice…I hope it comes to something good.

Re: Bosch Classixx SGS53C12UK/01 – Possible heater problem

Thanks. It looks like I’m onto a good start here. Can I check a couple of things with you before I grab a screwdriver please:

OK. I have a multimeter. I take it that a faulty element would read open-circuit but that a working element would have a (low) resistance? What kind of value can I expect to see in a working heater element?

Can you describe the procedure for testing the heater element please? Once I unplug the dishwasher and remove the r/h side panel will it be obvious which terminals are those of the heater element?

Thanks for the advice so far…I’ll send an email to get a quote for the part.
