DIY Dishwasher repair - advice

st3w4rt

Hi,


I have a

Currys Essentials CDWTT11 Tabletop dishwasher. Which has recently stopped working, or rather works very intermittently. The error symbol (flashing 3 in 1 light) indicates that the problem is with the flow meter. The dishwasher was fairly cheap and a gift, so I don't really think it is worth calling someone out to fix it.
I can get the part that is broken for around £34. Can anyone advise how easy it would be to repair or how to fix it?


Thanks in advance.

How do you know what part is broken? I don't know the model or what the book says about the error symbol but if it's flagging up the flow meter I would suspect there's some restriction to the flow. Clean the filters & everything else you can get at, check the spray arms for blockages.

If you are quite handy, then just take it apart and put back together in the reverse way. From my DIY experience, there is very little to dishwashers and have fitted a pump and heater before. Havealso done numerous DIY repairs on washing machines. Also.... Youtube is your friend... have a search. guaranteed someone had done a video on it or a similar sort of machine.... Try spares websites too like e-spares.. can be really helpful.

Thanks Essex/warmhands, I have cleaned everything I can get to and changed the water pressure going in. It could be a lose connection to said part also. I think I'll have a go
