marks on my dishes from the diswasher

Hello

I have checked if there is a thread already about this and I couldn't find one, apologies if I am duplicating stuff.

3yrs ago we moved into our house which had a Bosch diswasher in it. It didn't work but my clever dad gave it a clean etc and it had been OK ever since, but.... when I take stuff out there are orange bits dried on some the dishes and I end up having to wash them.

Any ideas I have no manual. :confused:

I don't overfill it & I put it on a nice long cycle in case it wasn't risning sufficiently . and I clean it regularly ie put it on empty with white vinegar in it.

I use fairy tables in it - just in case thats relevant.

    sounds like there may be debris in the spinning arms
    you should be able to take them off and clean them too

    Does yours have a filter in the bottom tray that catches all the grot?
    Ours had a hole in the filter mesh and the grot just kept recirculating and ended up getting stuck all over the washing.
    I love my spell checker, it stops me making all sorts of stupid smelling mistakes. :doh:

    yes it does come to think of it, but the bits on teh glass are tiny almost like the remnants of one of the tablets but it is orange and the tablets I use are green.

    I digress got a tip from OP to clean arms so I will give filter a good scrub as well. it can't help

    Thanks
  • I have this problem too, when I don't keep on top of cleaning the filter.
