Unilever dishwasher detergent I came across a variant of the Unilever 'Sun' brand in a cheap shop... 'Sunlight All-in-1'. It seems to be made for the Hungarian, Polish, Czech and Romanian sector, foreign languages printed on the box, and an English sticky label was stuck on. It caught my...

Dishwasher salt in Australia From Finishinfo.com.au: "Most metropolitan areas in Australia have soft to medium water which means that adding dishwasher salt is not necessary. The most populated hard water areas are around Adelaide and parts of Brisbane. Other areas of Australia do suffer from...

Reply #11 Yes, I do believe that is the heater element. It loops almost full circle, the shank with the spade connector protrudes through the pump fascia, at right angles to the loop of the heater.

Flow-through heaters Ah, but isn't the Miele flow-through heater more like a conventional immersion type heater, looped within the wash pump? The Bosch heater seems to be more of a 'printed onto steel tube' design. In fact it reminds me of the 'Blake's 7' teleporter bracelets.

At least you got it sussed. It's a pity Bosch had the daftness to create a flimsy wash pump - with the heater in the same unit. Obviously the accountants had control of that design.

Before you do anything else, have you checked the 'flow-through sensor'? This meters the water entering the machine. Apparently they do go wrong, magnetic Hall-sensor or some such. According to the exploded diagrams, it is a component (replaceable), within the water matrix heat exchanger...

I've been experimenting a bit with the P&G 'Fairy Platinum Plus' version. Cold water seems to cause excessive foaming. So I don't put it in the prewash, I put it in the mainwash dispenser. The warmer water (cold, heated by prewash to 40°C) seems to dull the suds a bit - but not always. I've...

'Detergent Save System' I think that was just a marketing ploy, based on Zanussi's idea of having a downward-firing water jet on the bottom spray arm. With the Zanussi method, that bottom arm water jet swept down the hollow, central funnel of this filter, out through the bottom hole between...

Reply #86 I still think Miele has employed a daft programming methodology. You would think that even with cap dosing, they could flush the detergent/booster sooner or later in the cycle - and still use the Powerwash process. Unless, of course, their thinking is 'CapDosing = full load only'...

Powerwash It seems to be a very odd implementation if cap dosing, prewash, extra rinse or no final spin are selected. I would have thought that cap dosing would have no effect on the ability to apply powerwash to the load. As for prewash, surely a higher level prewash followed by a reasonably...

Ooh that's weird - a double post.

Reply #12... Appears to show 'Made in UK', on top right of control panel. I wonder whether it was made from scratch here? Or whether the unassembled parts were imported and assembled here, with a locally made fascia? The one I saw had a white or off-white control panel. I'm not sure that it...

I'm assuming the aluminium alloy drum-spider is fractured. Does the drum revolve smoothly, or is it off-centre/wobbly/eccentric motion?

I don't think they were popular either. The control panel on the one I saw, irritated me - I thought the design was basic, cheap and nasty. I wonder who made it? I remember Hotpoint of that era had a deal with Bosch for the small compact table-top dishwasher. The footnotes always made mention...

I think this is it - or a variant of it. (You might need to rotate the images on your computer: CTRL ALT and direction arrows). https://www.manualslib.com/manual/382742/Creda-Hb18505e.html?page=11#manual

I remember seeing a compact type you described, whether it was Creda or Hotpoint, I can't remember. This particular machine was a display model in Currys, and seemed to be equipped with a glass or Perspex door - I think it was a one-off for display purposes only. The spray in this display model...

CE approval As far as I know, the CE mark is to be replaced by the UKCA mark for Great Britain (England, Wales, Scotland). Northern Ireland appears to be of a more complicated situation with both the UKNI and the CE mark required in tandem on goods...

I remember you could once buy lavender-scented vacuum cleaner paper bags, probably in the late Seventies, early Eighties. They were the Hoover Senior/Junior style, grey coloured. I don't remember the brand, they were probably just generic spares.
