    Re: cookworks dishwasher

    hello all, I posted a manual here recently and unfortunately the file sharing site has deleted it – can anyone who has a copy of the manual post it somewhere for others to use?

    Hi Don,

    Managed to borrow a mates mobil phone with camera and after much wrangling managed to get the photo into a computer! So here goes trying to get the photo into this forum from my computer!

    Lets try that then – all good fun.

    Not being the type to chuck stuff without trying a fix, took the Cookworks WQP8-9239 apart and googled some parts that potentially required replacing. I found alot of parts that were the same as a Carlton CF2W, not the bits I needed though. A quick look around on the web reveals that alot of others are having similar problems.

    Being quite reliant on the machine I decided to take the plunge for a better one and ordered a SMEG DF410SF. It’s got a free 5 year guarantee and I got it for £360 which looks a good deal. If I get 5 years out of it that’s better value than the Cookworks (and hopefully less hassle).

    Switched it on, and it ran for 20-30 seconds gave a big blue flash and stopped. Red power LED remains lit but get no action whatever I do with it now.

    I think the end is nigh after 18 months!

    Anyone recommend a good brand of slimline dishwasher?

    Thanks

    Re: cookworks dishwasher

    I have a slimline Cookworks dishwasher I bought from Argos less than a year ago. It is model number WQP8-9239 which may not be much use in identifying yours since on mine this model number is not displayed anywhere on the front, sides or inside. I scanned the manual in PDF form and could email you it if you think it might be useful.

    A problem I encountered some months ago was this: All indication leds lit and an extended beebing sound while the drain pump continually ran. The machine refused to reset or move to the next wash stage even after switching off and on. On checking inside the dishwasher the sump was properly drained (raising the question of why the drain pump was running continually) although the strainer was particularly blocked.

    Cut a long story short; cleaned the strainer, happened to tilt the machine for investigation and water came out somewhere. Plugged the machine in and would you believe it works again! YIPPEE, lots of dirty washing straight back in! I’m guessing some dirt got past the strainer and blocked a channel or something.

    It has happened a couple of time since, I don’t even bother disconnecting it now; just slide it out of place, tilt it back 45degrees ish, mop up the water, push it back in place, switch it on and away we go. It was the cheapest dishwasher I could get so I guess you get what you pay for, I find it less hassle to fix it myself than go the bother of refund and replacement.

    When I looked here some months ago there were no answers to this problem, I hope I save others some time, money and effort!
