Anyone got a FDW70 service manual?

Is this any good TB ?      http://www.manualsmania.com/model.php?model=623a54de44da9349fc29131fa64caa0f9492ce
Thats a user guide, freely available from Indeshit directly.  Its the service/repair manual I'm after, as I reckon there is a pesky hidden screw ;D

Right, without doing anything other than taking the top off, and one of the sides half off, it completes a 'Fast Wash 40C' whatever that means.

Just gonna chuck some plates in to reduce the washing mountain a tad before she gets home...

Might I suggest fairy liquid and marigolds as demonstrated by a certain other Admin! [smiley=bath.gif]



Washing up is a woman's job. Always has been.....always will be. :)

Please see above pic for demonstration! :y

Can't remember how I got into mine ::)

Let me know what other parts you want when you get a chance and I'll pull them out for you ;) Fairly sure I've still got a brand new element in the shed for a HP dishwasher ;)

Is it plumbed into the hot water already??
Coz if not, i dont understand why it can heat the water to 40C and not blow the trip, but it carnt heat it to 65?
I would expect a knackered heater to blow the trip as soon as it turned on.....where as if it is using the hot water, it doesnt need to turn the heater on, as the incoming water temp would be above 40C

It now bangs the trip as soon as it goes on at the mains. You hear what sounds like a pump start.

Currently popping the trip with wash pump unplugged.  It still pops trip with sump pump unplugged and heater element (a long tube that feeds the upper wash arm?) unplugged.

Need to let the UPS recharge before trying again, else the server will go down next time. Media Center already has the hump...

lol did get a little off topic, i tend to do that!

back to dishwashers, did your empty out before blowing the fuses? mine seems to have left water in so maybe the pump not heater element.
have you looked what currys have in stock in a few stores?

Often there'll be a mains filter on the feed from the mains. Maybe that's gone  leaky? Could be it started just when it had got warm, or when it had the heater load on it, now it's all the time.

You can normally bypass them easily enough for a test.

Time for a new one, me thinks  :-/
I can get my head round most things as to how they work.....dishwashers are a complete mystery to me.....with their complicated pipework....i spent days trying to figure what was wrong with my old bosch machine......in the end i decided it was less stressfull, just to buy a new machine  :y
