Nearly forgot one of my favourite things about the Dishlex - the technical schematics found in the service panel. I even filled in the work performed section over the years since I got it in 2017. Tragic.

Autopsy Glad you enjoyed it. Shame I couldn't keep her running. If I had the room I'd keep it. I thought I'd dissect her and have a closer look at the air valve and take some pics for you guys. Yep It had a heap of sludge in it. The unit is made as one piece, so I took it over to the garden...

I feel bad posting pics of the new one in front of the ol' faithful but here goes. Unpictured is the Auto leak contraption it has on the inlet hose to the wall- incased hose in a plastic tube and I large solenoid at the end. The interior design is more considered which allows for more...

Thank very much for the detailed response. That makes a lot of sense. I found water was inside the pressure switch - because I'm a noob I thought that was normal and didn't mention it the first time as the pressure switch has a lot of responsibility placed on it. I thought water pressure was...

Unfortunately the success was short lived. Today after two successful loads and two test runs... it overfilled again - and then undefilled. Should I change the pressure switch with one on eBay or does the problem lie with that clear chamber the pressure hose is attached to (circled in the...

Yes I noticed that capacitor looked ordinary. Interestingly, when I replaced the original pressure switch with one from the 500E a few months back, the original one didn't have that capacitor on it. Ok ill cut it off and test it again. Edit: Wow you're the man, Gizmo. I cut off the capacitor...

Ok so all was going well until the other day. The machine was slightly leaking from underneath. Opened up the bottom panel and thought the bottom door seal was leaking. I took the door apart and replaced the seal from a 500E I had parted out a couple of years ago. Put it back together and still...

Thanks for the responses. It is currently working fine again. I checked the inlet hose strainer from the wall - all good I checked the water flow from the wall without the hose - all good Orientation of the inlet hose hasn't changed for about a year, since I replaced it for preventative...

Hi All, I have a 80's Dishlex dishwasher (Glendale Deluxe) based on the Smeg design. Last week it wouldn't fill with water. It would only let in a very small amount (3-4 litres). So I replaced the water inlet valve with a known working replacement from a previously parted out machine. This...
