Well I hate it when that happens.

It all works. I've down nothing, except not use it for a week, and put it back together (as going around with a meter didn't help).


I just know its gonna bite me...
'dangle berries', 'dangle berries' and double 'dangle berries'.

Sorry to disturb the dust on this one, but guess what.  2 rather weeks before crimbo. More chance of pulling my foreskin up over my head to keep my ears warm than getting a replacement delivered.

'dangle berries'.

you find a shop with one in stock, and i'll pick it up in the estate,.....   no problem


and take the old one to the tip on the way home.....  sort of thing...

Amazing, ours packed up a week ago (it was only 23 years old as well) they just don't make them to last anymore :(

Probably something simple, but decided to invest in a new one.
i think yer should do away with it and use all that lovely warm water from that modern boiler youve got :y ;D

Me, I have an infamous Potterton Suprima ;D.  I'm in trouble next time the ECU goes, as there's not much board left to solder to next time ;D

i might add that there used to be  a kitchen appliance place just off the bypass on the other side of brackley from you that did pretty good deals.....     i bought a fancy schmancy double fan oven from there a few years ago.....

they were pretty good about delivery,   and let me collect a dryer for my mum when she needed one in a hurry....

Yeah, got washing machine from there.

But last time I wanted something, they wouldn't do it, saying they only supplied appliances with kitchens. Pretty certain they went tits up.

Now its cooled down, tempted to stick it on a cold rinse, as the currently running/stalled cycle was nearly at the drying cycle ::)

Need to shut down the Media Center though - that had a monk on about having the power removed repeatedly.

It bangs the trip as soon as the door is closed. I guess the door switch is some kind of interlock for pumps/heaters/solenoids.

As far as I can see currently, the door wiring at the hinge looks fine, and there is no water sat in the tray under the machine.

are you sure its the dishwasher if you have 3 ring mains on one curcuit breaker thats a lot...just a suggestion now winters here do you have more things turned on it could just be your overloading the breaker and by turning on the dishwasher or closing the door which i guess makes some form of connection the curcuit is now overloaded and trips........you could try turning off some other stuff on the curcuit and giving it a go if the dishwasher still works that is :o

god i do hope i am not right imagine all that work on the dishwasher to date >:( >:( >:(

Do you have a 13A plug on the cooker circuit? If so, these are often not RCD protected on an installation of the vintage that your is... Might make diagnosis easier when it's not taking out the whole house.

A 500V megger would be a handy diagnostic tool. Don't suppose you have one?

mind you you said rcd sorry my mistake so assume the 3 ring mains are each on thier own mcb

if you have tried turning of other cuircuits on the same rcd then other itmes on the same curcuit as the dishwasher leaving that on and still trips to confirm its dishwasher i will erm shut up :y
