Dishwasher - sorted!!! Brilliant!!

My dishwasher tablet was just getting a tad wet, and not even being used, or dropping out from the little trapdoor like it should....though said trapdoor was opening fine...hence the pots not getting washed.

I looked on here, searched under 'dishwasher', and found a great recommendation in a post by member kwatt....a website called ukwhitegoods (I think) anyhow I looked on this site (all about domestic appliances and troubleshooting - what an invaluable mine of useful information), and found it could be due to either the spinning propeller stainless steel thing where the jets of water come out, having blocked holes, (food bits in it) bad arrangement of larger plates, or them hanging lemon thingys what freshen the dishwasher.

So, I moved the larger plate so it sat much lower, though the propeller wasn't hitting it anyway, poked out a small piece of food from the propeller removed the lemon hanging thingy and guess what? it works. It was one of these three things, one or maybe all was obstructing the waterflow. The recommendation has saved me money of having to call out the domestic repairs man - who I must sing the praises of, he is pleasant, very cheap, prompt, a rare commodity these days!! and enjoys his visits as he loves my dogs!

Big thanks to kwatt, I already PM'd you to thank you too!
