Our Bosch dishwasher stopped working one night. Tripped the RCD and MCB. Slight burning smell in kitchen. Dishwasher is old and gets loads of use.
Worth trying to fix?
I have a spare dishwasher lying around. A new Candy. Bosch has one of those electric grey box flood stop units. Very hard to get to. Much easier to connect the other end to the Candy one. There seems to be some sort of electric contact at the back of the Candy. The flood stop needs power to energise - is that mains voltage? Can any dishwasher work with it or just Bosch? And is there any way to fiddle/bypass the bosch flood stop? Does it take 240V? Can you give it a separate feed to keep it open?
