After a cheap Indesit that lasted 11 years we bought an expensive Bosch
It was never without problems ......very disappointing....we had this same problem amongst others
Got rid........worst appliance we ever had
Luck of the draw I guess. The thing will catch fire tomorrow now I’ve said that of course.
I'm thinking that could end up as £230 quite easily
Probably better to buy a new one??
how come they only charged you around £100?
what parts were needed?
Pubs and restaurants need dishwashers, people in houses don't. Not unless you have 12 kids and even then probably not
As I don't have a combi, I have multiple input source, balanced system, I would need to have the system running just to maintain a tank of hot water.
My heating isn't on for half the year (my choice, I naturally prefer lower temperatures), so this would be crazy just for a bit of washing up.
I can get almost a weeks washing up into one load of the dishwasher.
Low energy, low water use, low hassle, job done.
It would be cheaper for you to boil a kettle 7 times a week and wash up by hand.
I'd love it to be so, but it would stretch frugality beyond acceptable hygiene standards & I'm a bloke .
Edit: My dishwasher is A+ rated & I use eco mode. So 1700 watts is way too high, machine maximum rate is 1200W.
With a dishwasher people chuck the dirty stuff on the rack and the food dries on it and then it's actually quite difficult to get it off. Internally inside a dishwater your plates and cups are being rinsed in a soup made of water and bits of week old food. They really are minging things internally. I fix Holbart PCB's for their dishwashers and glass washers ... if you saw what's going on inside one you probably wouldn't use one. They are safe if very well maintained in terms of temperature and cleaning cycles though. Unfortunately a lot of places can\t be bothered, it's kind of horrifying to see what's inside the dishwashers of some very well known food franchises.
Anyhow I applaud your take on heating and conserving energy, it's something we all need to start doing really
Our latest Bosch has some magic rocks which heat up on contact with water. The results is that everything is pretty much completely dry by the time I come to take it out of the machine.
My feedback thread is here.
"The trick with washing up is rinse the plates straight after dinner" This is one meal's worth, I'm talking about an entire day's worth of accumulated crockery etc.
Anyway, I always rinse all dishes etc. before adding them to the dishwasher. No dried on gunk for me thanks, I can't see the point of not doing it, as it is just more efficient.
I regularly keep the dishwasher clean too, just as I do for the washing machine filters, so not much recirculated soup for me either
I guess it's horses for courses, not a 'who is right' thing
Chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them
Donald Trump needs kicking out of a helicopter
I'm personally responsible for all global warming
We have called out the Bosch guy, but were considering just cancelling and buying a new one
Our was £580 I think, but I thought perhaps a £350 one with 5 year warranty for £100
However, I have now checked, and found that our one is a super-silent 38dB one, most are 44dB to 48dB
So I'm currently thinking I will let the Bosch guy have a go
