Amazing new sex replacement product for frustrated men

[Bugsy2]

sounds like it might be a good invention.
But now I've got you here, can I ask you if you know why my 6 yr old Bosch dishwasher might have stopped working mid-cycle last night?
I regularly salt it, so its not that.
Any ideas? Is it worth getting an Engineer out or should I just buy another? Obviously it is no longer still under guarantee.

what was your dh doing with the dishwasher????

dont have one Sparkler - dh that is!!!!

Stop sitting on it so much Buggsy

Did it display any codes indicating whatthe problem might be?

The most common issue for mine is that sometimes something gets through the filter (usually sweetcorn) and then jams the discharge tube. I just get a skewer and jiggle it up the discharge tube (under the sink) to dislodge the blockage.

An engineer would of course have a technical term for this!

Are it's little lights coming on? If not,Fused plug? Fused circuit?

No lights coming on at all. No codes, because it is so ancient it just has a turny dial thing.
Just had to fork out for a new washing machine, could really do without having to replace sodding dishwasher too!!!

Have you checked the fuse in the plug? Come to that, have you checked that the plug is completely plugged in - I only say this because our washing machine stopped working the other day, turned out that it was just that it had vibrated so much while spinning it had pulled the plug half out of the socket .

Checking the plug is going to be a major operation, involving pulling the washing machine out to get to the back of the wall. Very big sigh.
Anyone know a washing machine engineer or should I call Bosch.

Oh dear - ours is the same, and it's a real PITA. You have my sympathy, but sorry, no other suggestions . Hope you get it sorted.

I mean a dishwasher engineer of course!!!

you cannot possibly call out an engineer to check a fuse in a plug

just pull the danged thing out and change the fuse then try again

c'mon bugsy it'll take you 5 mins effort

Oy Twig, I'm not going to get an engineer out to check the blinking plug - you are talking to a woman who plumbs in her own washing machine!
I just find it hard to believe that it is the plug that has suddenly gone after 6 yrs of functioning fine. But, yes tonight after I have put my children to bed I will wrestle with the bl**dy incredibly heavy washing machine to get it out so that I can find the plugs for both machines. Still huge single mummy sized sigh!!!

UPDATE - because I know you were all worrying about how I was coping without my dishwasher!!!
It was just the fuse in the plug - yipee, no very expensive engineer call out charge. Thank you for the kick up the a*se Twiglett.
Hope you manage to get your motor problem sorted Hausfrau.

It is always worth checking the plug. You will often find that the wire in the neutral pin comes loose (something about the frequency working on the screw).

SO, for the sake of a few minutes work, pull the dishwasher out, check the plug, give the floor a good clean and try again.

Aslo as others will say, give the filter a good clean out.
