Can any one please tell me what spare part I might need for my Zanussi DW 401 dishwasher (yes it's getting on but was still working very well). No water is entering the machine but the heater still works so you can imagine what happened, luckily I was still in the kitchen when I saw smoke where the tablet fell onto the hot element!

Thanks CK for your reply, have done what you said but every thing clean, machine will fill with water but does not cover the 'dinner size filter' in bottom and then pumps that out (not enough to turn sprayers I assume as door is still dry) any other suggestions please?

remove the dinner plate size filter in the base and you will see a round dome plastic piece on the right.remove the screw in the top and then remove the plastic syphon tubes 1 by 1 and rinse them out in boiling water.the pipes underneath might also be blocked with grease and need removing and cleaning as well!
