Ok, so now the dishwasher is back in action how do I keep it that way? Well the manual for the machine had some advice
Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the appliance without utensils in the programme with the highest rinsing temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
To extend the life of your appliance, clean the appliance regularly with a special dishwasher detergent.
To ensure that the door seal always remains clean and hygienic, regularly clean it with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
Special salt and rinse aid
Check the refill indicators and, if required, refill salt and/or rinse aid.
