Hmmm, decisions, decisions
« on: 17 December 2019, 20:01:30 »

Its nearly Christmas, so as normal, the dishwasher has decided to get grumpy, and pop the RCD on cycles that need to heat water.

So, do I order a heater, and wait for it to arrive in a few days, then fit.  Or just buy a bloody new one for delivery on Thurs.  Cant remember how old this one is TBH, probably 3 or 4 years...


I am making an assumption it is the heater, suppose it could be the wash motor or the redirector motor thing breaking down with heat I suppose  :-\

Replace it with a better one if you're only getting 3-4 years out of it  :o

I would suggest our usage would be double that with a normal* family - ours gets hammered all the time, and it only ever gets put of the super intensive red hot non-of-that-eco-wank-shite program.

Weekdays, I would estimate its on 3 times a day.



*Not that I am in any way suggesting I am abnormal. I'm perfectly normal, its everyone else ;D

I wouldn't buy a dishwasher from there.  Mind you, I'd like to just walk in Currys and walk out with one, but its never that easy, despite the salepersons always claiming they have everything in this store...   ...until you pay for it, then they ask when you want it delivered. Apparently "right here, right now" is not possible.

Dishwasher does a better job. And its far easier.  A dishwasher was one of the best things I let her buy for our previous house ;D

Its a 12, possibly 14, place dishwasher. No idea why we create so much.  But then she's used 3 saucepans tonight, so that will half fill the bottom of it if I was able to use it ;D

Be aware that some of AO goods are specific to them (slightly different model numbers), and sometimes using slightly different components. No idea if that impacts reliability/performance, but I know it makes getting spares trickier.  No need to ask how I know that ;D

But if you treat it as a throw away item, its a non issue, assuming it doesn't lower reliability/performance.

I've had a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and built in oven from them. Only washing machine was a let down and that was my fault for choosing a hotpoint.
