      Dishwasher is damaging crockeryCheck you're loading your dishwasher properly - your user manual will show you how.
      The timer or programmer isn't working properlySome dishwashers have an Economy 7 or delayed timer setting to save money and work at night - if your dishwasher does, check if this is on.

      Check you're using cleaning salts, rinse aids and tablets correctly.

      Dishwasher is making a noiseTurn off the electricity to the appliance at your fuse box / consumer unit.

      Check the spray arms can revolve freely without catching on anything (there's usually one arm at the bottom of the dishwasher and one under the first shelf).
