The old one was like this few years ago, i called a technician who told me it bad and i had to get rid of it to buy a new one. This new one is Siemens and it's just 4 years old . I tried to fi in salt and noticed there is no water in the dispenser. I will be very happy if you help. I can't afford to buy a new one again. Thank you!

    • @LurgsHowToGuides
      @LurgsHowToGuides  ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe the salt dispenser setting is on very low so it isn't using it?
      If it is broken then you can always use the 3 in 1 tablets which contain salt. Not as good as salt dispenser but saves you buying a new dishwasher.

    Very helpful. Unfortunately, my grip is rubbish, since I have arthritis and the resevoir cap on my machine refuses to budge. I really like Bosch product, but I wish they had put a bit more thought into this. Maybe I don't need to fret, though, as where I live the water is pretty soft. Calcium build up is never a problem for me. Still I hate that nagging light and I have a bag of salt taking up space in my cupboard.

    • @LurgsHowToGuides
      @LurgsHowToGuides  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Try wrapping a tea towel around it then turning, that may help. Or you can get grip openers for jars etc so maybe try those. We have to have Salt as we live in a very hard water area, lots of lime and chalk.

    • @LurgsHowToGuides

      I should imagine the Sensor is broken. It will always use Salt. If you've never set the water hardness it will be set to Medium and will use salt. Just top it up anyway.
