    If all else fails, do a HOT wash with nothing but vinegar in the machine. Should clear it out. Oh, and check the pipe where it joins inder the sink. I find mine blocks up with debris after a while (cos Mr TM doesn't scrape the plates well) and it stops the rinse and then the emptying and leaves the plates dirty. Guess who has to takes the pipes off and clean - well, it aint Mr TM!

    LOL Mr Purplepatch doesn't even open the dishwasher, just stacks the dirty stuff on the side! And as for emptying it.... don't get me started!

    Can I just ask you how much vinegar and where do you put it? In the soap compartment or are we talking bigger quantities here?

    Having said that I also find that after a mash meal I get bits left down the sides of mugs. However, I have given up with the expensive tabs and just buy the tesco's own brand and make sure the salt and rinse aid are topped up.

    Hi Again

    My dishwasher is driving me mad :mad:

    Basically when I get items after they have been washed, they are streaked and marked..especially glasses and coffee/tea mugs. I use a 3 in 1 tablet and added dishwasher salt a few weeks ago.

    Is there anyway i can clean the dishwasher and give it a new lease of life??? Do I have to use "special salt", even though the tablets have it added?? :confused:

    I depend on the dishwasher alot and is only 2 years old..surely it has a few more years init still :eek:

    Thanks

    Try using rinse aid, i usually ind this helps as i get the same problem. Very anoying when you have to put them back on another cycle :rolleyes:
  • As a regular dishwasher, I'd recommend a regular supply of Sangiovese and at least pretend to be interested when I mention the football.


    :o
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.

    My dishwasher never seems to work properly either cos he's usually too busy playing on the playstation or PC 78sigh7qc.png


    Maybe I should start docking his pocket money :D

    Try putting white vinegar in the rinse aid compartment- it works just as well as rinse aid and is much cheaper.:):):)
