bunged up dishwasher

[sara3]

I have quite an old Bosch dishwasher, which has never been a problem until today. I just opened it after it had run a cycle, and there was murky water lying at the bottom. I've got all the water out by hand, and picked out 1 kernel of sweetcorn and 1 pea (hardly an unusual event in this house!).

is it very risky to just run it again? is there anything I can add to clean through the drainage area?

lol.. cheeky devil ;o)

right, update. I've just noticed that the dial that shows where it's at in its cycle was at the halfway mark. I've checked the plug, and daughter has knocked the switch off :o/

bloody kids! sorry.. I may just try to re-run it. thanks for your expertise, as always xx

(i'm gutted I didn't manage to get Sara to stick her head in a dishwasher :))

lol.. I feel proper stupid!

she once flicked the switch of the fridge-freezer. I thought the light bulb had blown so pulled it out, the realised the whole thing was switched off. I couldn't get the bulb back in, and the fridge remained in darkness for over a year, until I called someone out (I had cover) and he changed the whole light unit.

feel free to send a bill to her via FB! and sorry again x

lol, thanks Chuck.. I had my head in there to get all the water out!

apologies to you, too. you can send her a bill, too :o) x

i sometimes have water in the bottom of machine and i just rerun it again but dont put any tabs in.make sure you top up with salt though

thanks Kate, I stopped using salt for a while when the tabs I bought said they had salt in them.. but that's not effective at all, so I went back to adding salt.
