We have a double drawer Fisher Paykel dishwasher and one of them seems to have a problem with the rinse aid.
In the top washer, you can see rinse aid in the dispenser, in the bottom drawer though the dispenser is full of water (which it shouldn't be). Normally the level of rinse aid just drops until it needs to be refilled.
Any dishwasher experts or cognoscenti who would like to guess where the problem lies? I haven't started poking around with a multi meter yet.

Okay, I think I may have fixed it. Less daunting than it at first seemed.
I checked the resistance of both pumps and they seemed okay.
Having extracted the rinse aid dispenser and removed the motor coil from the pump I was able to access the pump mechanism that utilises an oscillating diaphragm and two one-way valves.
On pulling out the valves, one of them had waxy crud covering it.
Hopefully that's all there is to it. Just posting this in case it's useful for anyone else.
