How can I fix my dishwasher?
Discussion
Hi forum experts,
The big heating element in my dishwasher keeps bending about like a mental snake thing. I've bent it back several times, but I fear it's at least partially knackered. If it bends up (every 2 weeks or so), it stops the spinny thing in the bottom, and all kinds of new smells are created.
Looking at it, it's all pretty sealed down there - so my questions are:
It's an AEG Favorit 345i. Can I get the part?
I can do most basic things (plumb, wire etc), but obv. this is high current (AC?), in water. am I likely to simply kill my whole family?
If it can't be done, is it worth getting a man in to fix, or just bin itm and visit fleabay?
I'm renting, so I'll not buy a "nice" machine, just something to get me by.
Thanks
Graham
