So do you think it’s new motor time rather than brushes then ??

Well for what it cost and the age of it then it seems it may end up being replaced as I wouldn’t even know where those components are hiding on it. If I could find them I do have a DMM to do continuity tests but I understand that you can’t exactly advise some to start messing with electrics 🙂

Thanks for your help.

Well I tipped it on it’s side and nothing came out, the towels stayed dry.

I may have misdiagnosed the noises. When I tried it again with the dishwasher out from under the worktop I could hear the water flowing into it but the pump is running continuously so it is just pumping it straight back out down the drain.

I’ve left it and it has done so for at least 5 mins. If I manually advance the controller it will stop filling but at no point does the pump seem to turn off and it stop emptying.

We did use tablets. Just a two layer one, Tesco value ones and also used a separate rinse aid plus salt.

I’ll give it a try in a while and use separate detergent powder if it starts working.

THanks for the help so far 🙂

Hmm, it keeps pumping out for ages.
What causes the base to flood ??
