Definately time to clean out the ducting, rear panel where heater sits, seals (replace if necessary), water pump. Pointless not too really! That particular type of heating element are very well made and seem to last forever, never come across a broken one yet, not that I've seen hundreds of...

Thanks, shall strip down and take photos tomorrow. I did strip it down and clean it up today, not really dirty though, reassembled and it did have some pressure but sure its not as much as it should be. Not a very good description but this is how I understand it from my initial inspection: A...

Have you tried a rinse only or a spin only programme? Same symptoms or not??? Do they run through the cycles fully?

Yes check those brushes and springs, also check the commutator condition.

Water still coming through but only seems to be at mains water pressure. Pressure Washer turns on and sounds like its working i.e motor is running at what sounds like the correct speed without any unusual noises (not humming suggesting motor seized or starter cap failure), mains pressure is...

Have you checked it is def pumping out at the start of any cycle and checked for any blockage in the drain pump propellor. Or could be a faulty/jamming drain pump. Put a jug of water in the tub and start it, after 20 secs or so open the door, water??? Also need to check that the water inlet feed...

There will be considerable water spillage when removing the valve unless you drain the water softener container first. You might get away with just cleaning the gasket/plunger and housing it sits in but usually the whole valve assembly requires replacing. Test the valve does work first though...

Yes check the salt container valve, usually the valve itself continues to function correctly but the rubber gasket/plunger wears and no longer creates a seal so salt water is constantly added to the wash/rinse cycles leaving the residue on dishes. The valve is sometimes hard to gain access...

Does the drum fill with water if not used for a couple of days? Water clean or dirty? Does the waste pipe connect to the u bend under the sink or into a separate waste pipe.

Ok so drains fine, thats good. Next is to check that the water inlet valve is functioning. Might also be worth checking that there is definately water supply at the dishwasher end of the mains water inlet hose. Is it constantly draining or does the drain cycle stop? You will hear the drain pump...

It is worth noting where cables are connected in the event you accidentally pull any off whilst pulling out the drum. Just a thought, look inside the drum (from the front) at the back, are there any screws or are there rivets. If screws its possible this will separate the drum from the rear...

I doubt anyone knows this particular model to be ableto give specific instructions. Photo from the front? If the front panel is already removed the drum should slide out towards the front, you will need to manouvre the belt as you do it, a bit at a time. On the rear panel are 4 screws(located in...

Is there a programme cancel button? Just check again that theres definately power at the same socket the DW was plugged into. Is the door closing properly and engaging the lock, if not then there will be no power to the control board.

Possibly by removing the front fascia and front panel.

Buy a cheap DMM, under £5, and test the heating element to confirm its faulty.

No problem, good to hear its solved.

After the above checks have been made it will be necessary to remove the side panel to proceed with further testing. Are you comfortable/confident in doing so?
