My dishwasher isn't cleaning things anymore... grrrr

[saucypan]

I end up having to wash everything up after they've been through the dishwasher. We've cleaned it with bespoke dishwasher cleaning products and also with vinegar but it makes no difference. Any thoughts? If I get someone out to fix it do you think they'll be able to or should i save my money and get a new one. It's about seven years old.

Have you had the filter out and cleaned that, check the holes in the arms are clear and that they are rotating freely.

The rotating spray arms are probably blocked. Unscrew them, and give them a give bash over the sink to loosen any debris. All the wholes should be clear and water should run freely through them.

Glad I've seen this thread as having exactly the same problem, Saucypan. It's a pain having to wash things again!!!

Will try what you suggest, skramble and geepers. Thanks!

Thanks all, I'll try those tonight when dd's in bed.
