"Please explain the term split tub." The outer tub is made in two halves, or sometimes more like two-thirds to one-third ratio, or three-quarters to one-quarter ratio. The conventional way was to bolt or clip these halves together with a tub seal in between the halves. Easy to split apart for...

Ah, I see, thanks. Would the electric solid plate take its power via the dishwasher's mains flex, or would there be a separate feed cable or flex with plug to power the plate? Obviously there'd be a separate hose for the gas supply.

I took it to be four gas burners. One of small diameter, two of medium (diagonally offset). The rear left looks to be of a larger diameter, and the poor contrast of the photo/pic (I'm assuming) seems to have bleached out the vertical sides of the burner.

@ozzie908 You could well be right about the 'fill and immediate drain' being softener regeneration. My machine has grand ideas about mixing the final rinse water proportions of soft water to unsoftened water. The final rinse pressure to the upper basket is also too insipid in my opinion. I...

From The Independent newspaper, dated 1st March 2021: Companies that sell consumer electronics such as refrigerators, washers, hairdryers, or TVs in the European Union - and in the UK - will need to ensure those goods can be repaired for up to 10 years. The change comes as a result of...

Bosch UK "Product Availability Information: Please note - due to high demand and industry wide availability issues on a range of components, a selection of our dishwashers are currently subject to delay or in some cases unavailable."

If that is the case, Miele have well and truly shot themselves in the foot. I will never consider buying a Miele appliance. I wonder whether 'factory production problems' due to lockdowns are causing a shortage of available parts. Their UK website keeps saying that the dishwashers are in high...

"delay start function is wonderful" Up to a point. I once had an AEG 1600rpm, new from 1998. This was the era of the programme knob on the left-hand side, dispenser drawer on the right-hand side. I used to run the machine on delay start, from 6am-7:30am or thereabouts, to take advantage of...

"... a flush between each program segment." I am assuming that it is a bit like my old Bosch. After the mainwash, my Bosch drains the dirty water, then does one of two things: - It seems to fill part of the water matrix, tap is turned off, then it pours that into the tub, circulation for a...

"As far as I see, all recalled Hotpoint machines were true Hotpoint designs." Hardly. That was the era of Indesit. Nuff said.

Chinese Haier owns Hoover Candy. These days I equate all three as 'Rubbish'. Beko (Arcelik) owns Grundig (typically sold via Currys); Blomberg (via Euronics independents) and possibly also makes the odd washing machine for Smeg. I had a look at Hotpoint's website to see if the Hotpoint...

Photo #2 The Brandt dishwasher seems to be a strange beast in more ways than one. The automatic dispenser on the door seems to be only for the rinse aid. The detergent dispenser appears to be the small white receptacle, on the spray-arm feed pipe, under the upper basket.

Hoover seems to sell three 14kg machines in Britain, no 13kg models, and four 12kg washers.

That Samsung 18kg washing machine seems to be hot and cold fill. I still wouldn't have one. Samsung aren't renowned for washing machine quality.

It is the Unilever Persil in the green box. They updated the packaging fairly recently (past year or so). I think it is classed as more concentrated. I find it clumps in the powder drawer. I just put it directly into the drum.

I have soft water, and the best controlled-suds seems to be Persil Biological Powder. I was quite surprised that I could put in 60, 70, 80 ml and the suds weren't filling the door glass. If I had tried that with Lidl 'Formil' powder, foam would be gushing out the powder drawer. As for liquids...

Reply #12, photo #1 The 'Sunlight All-in-1' looks like the pink tablet, but is coloured a bluey-green instead. These tablets have soft, pliable dissolvable wrappers, packaged in polythene bags of 26 tablets; two such bags in a box of 52 tablets. Price was about £4.00. The box depicts...

"Gosh they are rotten things to work on compared to washing machines, too..." I think you're quite right, regarding the modern machines. Tho older machines were easier to access (access from underneath). With the new ones, it's more of a complete strip down.
