at the end of the cycle there is dirty water in the bottom of the dishwasher and the dishes look all smeary?

hole in bottom of cutlery basket, cutlery goses throw and stops s/arm moving

john, February 2009

I had this problem and I discovered that it was as a result of the cutlery basket shedding a few bits of plastic which got into the works and which blocked the outlet pump mechanism. This happened a couple of years back but I seem to remember that I took off the lid which allowed me to remove the left hand panel. This revealed amongst other things a double plastic reservoir. This reservoir was easy to remove as it has push fit joints and it made it easy to flush it through. I also threw away the old cutlery basket!
