Can't afford the excess water usage either, being on tank water and all ...

Recent tests seem to suggest that generally dishwashers use less water than hand washing. This obviously can vary between washers both mechanical and manual.

I fixed mine :thumbsup: It cost about $50 for the motor and $40 for the armature. Take it slowly and they are incredibly simple to fix. The problem was caused by a piece of broken glass getting into the armature a couple of years ago. If I'd changed the armature then, I would have saved $50 on the motor.

Something like that happened last year and I poured boiling water in to it which I think cleared a blockage.

After I did it this time, it throws the RCD switch the instant I press the "on" button.

Probably about $120 for new electronic board, and if you can change a tap washer then can fix a dishwasher, they are very simple.
