I know the sheer horror of not having a dishwasher. It's... it's just too awful to comtemplate!
Seriously though mine had a problem with draining a while back and in the end we called an engineer who cleaned out the most horrible looking gunk out the pipes. Not wax just 5 years of build up of old food waste junk, limescale, you name it. His first piece of advice to us was to stop wasting money on these all in one dishwasher tablets because any salt in them is more or less washed away in the first few minutes. So you still need to use salt in the compartment in hard water areas like mine. He said the same for washing machines too - get washing soda crystals not those fancy smanchy tablets. They are cheaper and work better. On the good news front, after he cleaned it out it works perfectly and it only cost us about £50 to get it sorted. The hardest part was actually getting the machine out, since its a built in one so, word of warning if yours is too - tell them so they bring the right tools!
Hmm, that was... domesticated.

Mine isn't built-in, as witness the fact that I had it out of it's slot ealier
I think it's got an extended warranty. Have to root around in my files tomorrow and see if I can find it I haven't washed dishes by hand since............. hm......... well Rob used to do the dishes...... when he joined the RAF in 1999 I washed-up for about two weeks then went out and bought a dishwasher
So not counting those two weeks, I reckon it's got to be at least 15 years since I had to do it by hand. And you don't need to gutterize that Josiane and Nad! That one I can work out for myself

), then put it on a really hot wash. It stopped again and flashed it's lights......... so I'll have to call the engineer in tomorrow.
