Thank you all - I'll give the cleaner a go

(I've got salt in it - in fact the problem started shortly after I put the last lot of salt in).

Had the same problem with ours.

Gave it a really good clean (filters, spray arms, seals etc.) then used Aldi dishwasher cleaner £1.99 twin pack (price at the time!) as per instructions.

Use soda crystals on self clean setting every couple of months now.

nelmo:   Did you use a dishwasher cleaner as advised and if so did it cure the problem?

I Bought a Morrisons own brand dishwasher cleaner today for £1.20 which in the past have used the Finish cleaner but it has left a wonderful aroma in the kitchen.

I clean mine through about every 6 weeks as we are in a really hard water area. Finish bottles are good as are the fairy tablets. Sainsbury's cleaner is okay but not very strong. Don't use Asda's own though, leaves a smell like sick

Always use Asda's and mine doesn't smell like sick!

Have you checked whether the rinse aid dispenser is working? The rinse  aid  allows the water to drain from the surface and if its not working this could be the problem.

Hi I repair them things to check,

are the spray arms going around? put them in the twelve o`clock position and start the machine, after its been running open the door and see if they have moved.

are you using a multi-function tablet? if so DONT add rinse aid, the tablet contains rinse aid, if you add rinse aid as well it will create foam, depending on the type of dishwasher you have it can cause loads of problems, some manufacturers have a setting which allows you to turn off the rinse aid dispenser.

all ways use a cleaner as previously mentioned,

remove as much debris off plates before putting them into the dishwasher. Its not a waste disposal unit

if you load dishes into it in the morning after breakfast and again in the evening before putting it on are you doing a rinse only? you should, food deposits from breakfast pots can dry on and become difficult to remove the worst offenders are egg, bran type cereals and potatoe
