Yesterday SWMBO phoned me at work to say the dishwasher had died. Last straw on a bad day! So I opened it up, mopped up the trivial amount of water in the bottom, and settled down to fault find.
Nothing. Nada. Seemed fine. Finally worked out that the trivial amount of water (5mm) was enough to set off the anti-leak system and cut off the water inlet. Ran through OK, but more water was evidently appearing. No more during the day when it was off.
Tonight covers off and run. Fills, starts washing - and instant needle jet. The kid of size you get from a syringe with a needle on it. There's a pin prick hole in the feed pipe that goes up the side and into the top washer arm. So - online search for right plastic moulding. It's a shaped piece a couple of feet long, looks like a polythene or such moulding in two parts. Easily available.
For 35 quid.
So as it's pretty ancient anyway I just want to cover the hole over. Bearing in mind it gets hot and has dishwasher detergent (alkali) running over it, and it's made from polythene which isn't the stickiest material in the world - what's the best thing to use?
