I have very poor cleaning from my Candy dish washer, the dishwasher tablets hardly disolve which I believe is due to a poor water supply. I have used standard limescale cleaner sachets placed within the dishwasher to no avail , I believe it could be due to the limescale within the internal pipework of the machine. can I clean these pipes . how and with what

Always use vinegar instead of rinseaid. You can boil it in your kettle also, use in general for limescale and glass cleaning. if using on metal, always rinse after.

best thing to clear limescale is to use "sodium bicarbonate" ie, baking powder, put in a large mug full and run cycle with washer empty this will dissolve limescale (calcium) and clear water outlet pipes i do this every 3 months as i live in hard water area and it works well
