how to replace drain hose on Dishlex DSF6106W
No answers
GeeBeeasked
My Dishlex DSF6106W is just over 2 years old, so out of warranty. Today it leaked and didn’t finish its cycle. I removed the filter and it was clear, but there’s still about 5cm of water sitting there in the draining hole. I phoned the service number and they can only send a service person in a week’s time at a cost of $145. I’m a pensioner and can’t afford this. Does anyone have any tips about what I can do? I can’t get at the back of the machine to check the hose.
Any ideas?
Thanks

We have inherited a Dishlex DSF6106W dishwasher. I always used to rinse well when using our previous Asko dishwasher and ran it on a glass cycle so that the glasses didn’t get scratched. As I am unfamiliar with this dishwasher can you advise me as to what cycle won’t scrach the glasses please?
1 answer
I have had no problems with this on either this or a similar Dishlex in a previous house. I generally use the Eco setting, with wine glasses held in the dedicated fold out racks and normal glasses on the upright folded pins centre top rack. I have not had any scratching and do not hear the glasses being jostled around by the rotating spray arm
Alecia Dasked
Can the water inlet hose be removed from the back of the dishwasher, and if so how?
2 answers
I honestly can’t tell you. When installing the dishwasher I noticed that the hose terminated inside the rear cover and so could not see the hose attachment point. It should be possible from a maintenance point of view to access the attachment point. All I can suggest is to have a look at one on the floor in The Good Guys or other retailer to check for access. Sorry I can’t be of any more help.
Yes, the hose would be removable so that it can be replaced if necessary. You will need to access the rear of the dishwasher and follow the hose where it connects. It will have a clamping arrangement where it fits to the inlet valve, probably a wire spring style clamp. Compress this clamp with a pair of suitable pliers and move it along the hose. You should be able to then remove the hose by twisting and pulling it off the valve. Before you do this ensure you have turned the water supply off at the other end of the hose. Also have an old towel ready to sop up the water spillage. Hope this helps you.

I find two rinse aid dispenser receptacles in the dishwasher. I am not what are these used for. i.e. for putting liquid dishwashing liquid in the large container and a tablet in the small container. What are the four settings in the small container?

Hi Yaseen,
Tania from Electrolux here.
We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the concerns you have raised about the Dishlex dishwasher.
If you wish to discuss this further please feel free to contact me at [email protected] attention Tania.
Thanks, Tania
Big dispenser on left for tables and one on right for rinse aid or I use brown vinegar in there all the time just as good
The larger receptacle is for dishwashing detergent or tablets. The smaller receptacle is for rinse aid. Also the small white pointer/ knob is to adjust the rinse aid volume you wish to use, start with the smallest and adjust if you need to. Hope this has been helpful.

The end light is flashing stopping me from starting the load. It flashes on and off 12 times stops and does it again. Powder and rinse aid are in. Dial is turned to program I want to use. The only other light showing is the on/off indicator. I've cleaned the filter in the drain. Nothing seems wrong with the pipe under the sink. Tap is in usual position. Any help would be most appreciated? Jane
3 answers
Press the 2 buttons together and this will stop the programme turn back to off than start again.
Hi Jane. .I suggest you turn the programme switch off then switch the dishwasher off at the power point, all this if the first post doesn't work. Leave the power off for a few minutes to allow the dishwasher to reset itself, then start again. Good luck Rob T

Is there an end of cycle alarm/beep function to alert you that the wash is completed?
1 answer
No Noise but the bottom light should be lit to advise of end of cycle.
Read user manual

I Don't know how old ours dishwasher is. Bought a house and it was already installed. Has been working great but today will not fill with water. Lights are on, tap is turned on, but nothing. Have cleaned filters, although they didn't need it. Don't know what else to try. Any ideas?

We have bought a new Dishlex DSF6106W. Have installed to all relevant instructions. Still have no water pumping through the dishwasher. It’s getting to the dishwasher as water is sitting in filter hole but won’t do a proper wash. Can’t get any tech support from where we bought it from or the manufacturer. Any ideas?

C Boxasked
I have one of these which was installed about 12 months ago.
This morning the pump activated of its own volition - door was open and no cycle on. We were in bed.
The only way to get it off was to turn the power off at the wall.
Does anyone have any quick answers on this. I checked the trouble shoot manual but no reference to this there.
Tried to do a cycle but no response.
Is there some kind of a reset on this?
Linleyasked
Our dishwasher tries to pump out but it sounds like an airlock happens &/or a stopper of some sort blocks the drain.
The bottom right hand light flashes. Any ideas?

I've not had a problem yet with this dishwasher !! How about running the machine through with nothing in it !! Also many years ago with my 1st Dishlex I had a problem a bit like that and it just wouldn't wash !! Got technician out and he told me the problem was using supermarket brand dishwashing powder ! He recommended using Finish only ! Since then I've never used anything else but that and I've never had any problems ! I'm now onto my 3rd machine but that's over 30 years and moving houses !! Hope this helps
I only ever use Finish & have not had a problem with my previous Dishlex or this until now. Have run it with nothing in it & a cleaner but to no avail.

lI recently bought a dishlex last week, and the plastic coating has developed an air bubble? I tried to manipulate it out but it seems to be getting worse? Is it supposed to be removed or is it on the door to protect it?
5 answers
Have not had this happen to mine, have a coating on my fridge and not removed it. My dishlex is the silver one and I just checked there are no bubbles on it, the coatings are to protect them I would check with the store where you bought it from,
Thank you Sandra. I dont think I have a choice... it somehow blistered up and looks awful... There must have been a defect in it....
It’s just a protective coating and can be removed as I looked at the corners on mine have started to lift.
