I have an indesit DV62 dishwasher which during a cycle isnt getting hot - in fact it isnt even getting warm. My first thought was that the heating element had gone but I have replaced this and no joy. I have checked the cables going to the heating element during a cycle and these are getting power so my next thought is the thermostat. I have read that some dishwasher models have a reset switch on the thermostat but I havent been able to find one on this one. Is anyone able to provide any pointers on this or if I should just try replacing the safety thermostat. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

You have a blockage in your drain pump. Remove all filters and scoop out as much water as you can from the unit. Check in the bottom for any objects stuck there. Some models have a cover on the bottom inside the unit, which once removed, will expose the drain pump impeller. If yours does, remove the cover(usually 1 screw only) and free the drain pump impeller. NB: DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREWS WHICH HOLD THE BASE TUB IN PLACE! These are the screws on the edge of the white plastic "bowl" inside the unit. The drain pump cover will be INSIDE this bowl and will be quite small, no more than 5cm dia.... If this does not work, you will have to remove the drain pump from the bottom or front of the unit to get the blockage out. Oshie

Hi,
I have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...
