I learnt something practical yesterday. It's possible that everyone else already knows this but I will nevertheless pass it on.
Our dishwasher, a no-frills Bosch, was playing up and we had an appliance repairer look at it. The first thing he noted was that we don't use rinse aid and instead use the tablets with rinse aid built in. He said that this practice messes up the timing programme and it is far better to use powder plus rinse aid. So we got these things, filled up the rinse aid dispenser and when I turned it on the beginning length was 2.40 hrs instead of the 2.45 hrs that it has been showing from the beginning. It is now purring away showing a much reduced completion time and I have every hope that the dishes will emerge clean and dry instead of wet and oily as happened a few days ago.
