Question

I know a bit about these things but this ones got me flummoxed

Can any body help as the wife will not let me wrest till its fixed

Answer 1

it's normally the pressure of the water coming in that spins the inards round,If its filling up its probably just the tap pressure getting through and its not being boosted by the pump. so check all the relevant pumps are working. There might be something jamming one of them.  

Answer 2

Answer 3

Check your sprayer arm to ensure that there are no clogs in the little sprayer holes.

Check that there are no utensils or objects blocking the arm from spinning.

Check water pressure.

I hope this helps.

Our Creda had this problem, there was a micro switch build in to the heating element, I just had to bend this link a little for it to make contact and it was fine.
