How do we progress with resolving a substantial leak from bottom of dishlex dx301. Pumps out water will nil issue when emptying. Also noticed spray arms do not turn and water only dribbles from them

Leak detector on bottom of machine has got wet
Un plug machine and dry float on leak detector
Or turn machine on its side allow water to drain off flood device
Important make sure no power going to machine while doing this

The most common culprit is the heating element. Try ohming out the heating coil to make sure it's not open.

Do you live in an area with hard water? If so, hard water deposits cause 2 problems. They clog your spray arms and they leave a cloudy film on your clean dishes. Here's a map to tell if you have hard water. http://www.citriclean.net/why-citriclean/ And you can get a free sample of CitriClean if you request.

Try taking a bar of soup when vehicle is idleing touch it to the sides of the belts your not soppost to use belt spray on surpinten belt But if maltaic sound prositests then water pump or belt tenisioner problem is likelywater pumps wil normaly leak through a hole called the weep hole when there going and you won;t hear matelic noises but the belt tenisinor yes they are a ware part and need to be replaced more often then water pumps and are assocated that kind of noise

Hi,

When my wife started complaining about her dishwasher not getting the top rack clean this is what I found and I wrote a tip about it...

Dishwasher Spray Arms not Spinning

Heating element may fail. This will lead to the machine stopping part way through its cycle

Pumps. There are 2 pumps in most dishwashers. The drain pump,( which describes itself -it pumps the water out of the machine.)
The recirculating pump which forces the water at high pressure through the spray nozzles and arms. (This is how the cleaning action is performed)
These pump may either leak, or burn out. Either way, the only solution is replacement.

Thomo, make sure the sprayer holes in the spray arms are clean. Grains of rice seem to be a dishwashers biggest enemy as they don't desolve and eventually end up lodged in the spray holes. The holes at the end of the spray arms are the ones responsible for the washing out of the soap powder from the dispenser, if they are blocked this does not happen.
Hope this helps
Cheers
