I am using seperate rinse aid and salt already, so may take the big box of finish classic dishwasher tablets back and change them for powder.Providing the tablets are not 3 or 4in1 there is no need to change them 😉

The ‘Classic’ tablets should be fine (the red powerball is simply the ‘stain-soaker’ that dissolves on cold water; the blue layer is the enzymatic layer that breaks downs protein and starch residue; the white layer is the oxygen-based bleaching agent, to sanitise the load and remove tea and coffe stains).
Be aware that running a wash-cycle with tablets and no dishes, or even relatively clean dishes can cause over-foaming!
Old-style detergents (still available in Cash & Carry depots, badged as “Professional”) use chlorine bleach. They do not foam up. They are though, very harsh on fine china and glassware, but give superb bleaching performance.
Re: Zanussi washer – model FLE 1115W – programs gone screwy?
Hi,
Regarding the ‘spin-during-rinse’, I believe some machines do actually achieve this, albeit briefly and at a low spin speed (eg; less than 500 rpm).
My grandfather had such a machine a Zanussi FJ1294 (I think) that spinned during rinse. Probably to achieve better rinse efficiency.
Conversely, my mother had a Hoover New Wave that spinned during wash; the ‘spin-bursts’. Again, to increase washing performance.

Thanks for that at least I know my new one is German looking at the picture online
http://www.johnlewis.com/jl_assets/Product/230307186.jpgI know the model numbers are hard to find, my old one Bosch had all that detail on a plate inside the door (really helpful german logic) the engineer had to tell me that the first time I called them out some 5 years back because I couldnt find it either.
Caution is advised!
Apparently the new Classixx models are matching the designs of the German models; similar fascia, door handle, etc.
The upper Exxcel and Logixx ranges should be German built, but as manufacturers continually shift the goalposts, we can never be entirely sure.
Re: What would you recommend?
Thankyou.
As a matter of interest, whereabouts on the pricing scale do the ISE machines sit; i.e., lower range Bosch, or mid-range?

No.
Country of origin, please.

Re: AEG 88730 update C7 fault code
Hi,
Like you, I purchased the (then) top of the range AEG washing machine in 1998; thinking it was a ‘quality’ brand.
Unfortunately, three years later the drum bearings packed up.
I’ve been told that ever since Electrolux took over AEG, quality is not as it used to be… more’s the pity!
I’ve also been told similarly, that Zanussi quality has also fallen (also Electrolux owned).
Re: Ariston LSV66 Door Stuck
My mum’s Hotpoint FDW30P dishwasher suffered a similar fault; the door latch was suddenly stiff to open. She pulled it forcefully, and the small latch-spring snapped (cheap metal!). A new latch (complete) costs around £9 odd (from Hotpoint).
Re: Upper end Bosch
If it is of any use, from what I can gather (with Bosch washing machines), the “Logixx” and “Exxcel” ranges are supposed to be German built.
The “Classixx” ranges are apparently Spanish origin.
The lower-end “Exxcel” models may be too…
Re: Hotpoint Electronic 800 Delux 9526 – not cleaning
The machine could be in dire need of a few “maintenance washes”!
These are washes done at 90 degrees celsius, without any clothes, but a normal (or slightly reduced) quantity of detergent.
If the machine has never been used above 40 degrees, this may be the problem.

Re: Detergents?
The detergents from P&G use modern technology, such as the latest enzymes and bleaching activators.
A few years ago, “Ariel” employed four enzymes to break down stains (amylase, protease, cellulase, lipase).
Now, apparently they only require two (protease, glycosidase).
You may have noticed the detergent boxes have a lower temperature range. This is due to the modern technology.
The pack sizes have also been reduced; the formulation is more concentrated.

Hi,For what it’s worth, the latest machines seem to be made without the “minimum iron” programme ( the old 4/50 washtub symbol).
Mentioned previously in another thread, my mother’s Hoover AC327 finally conked out. The module attached to the timer had a burnt-out component. The motor commutator didn’t look too great either, so my mum bought a Bosch Exxcel WFX 2868 (if I remember correctly!).
This model has no 50 degree programme of any kind, which I also found strange. It must be something to do with cost-cutting.
