Our dishwasher doesn't seem to be working. Dishes are not washed properly and there are remains of the cleaner.
+ We get the black fungus grime build up.
I've tried:
- Thorough cleaning of all pipes and nozzles and blades (taken off and cleaned).
I've opened mid wash just to take a peak - the blades seem to be coming out with water.
- Baking soda + white wine vinegar on full hot cycle - been there and done many times now (each wash on hot takes 7-8 hours - surely that can't be normal?).
- I've tried dishwasher cleaners. I've tried 2 times. Both times the cleaner is not emptied and the cleaning fluid remains inside. I peeled off the stick on the lid of course. In past years, when used, worked OK with no problems.
- I've added salt + cleaner aid. This I'm sure isn't relevant, but I thought I would mention.
The black fungus grime... I'm calling it fungus - no idea idea what it is... does NOT come off in the wash. Get a wet tissue and simply wipe, it's just comes off no problem. The trays, when you look at, have loads of it. But that is so hard to clean. Happy to clean - if I can get the machine working.
What else can I do?
I feel like giving up!
Thanks.
