Dishwasher Belt Don't Let It Slip
You have an older dishwasher and it's serving you well. Let's make that was serving you well. See, the problem is fixing it. If your dishwasher has stopped filling or draining all of a sudden or has its moments when it will work and when it won't - check the belt.
The belt connects the motor to the pump using pulleys. When the motor rotates in one direction the pump fills the dishwasher. When the motor rotates in the opposite direction, the pump drains the dishwasher.
If your dishwasher isn't filling or draining at all, the belt could be broken. If your dishwasher occasionally works, the belt is probably stretched and is slipping. Take a closer look at your dishwasher's belt.
The belt is approximately 25 inches long and made of clear or black rubber. The belt is located behind the lower access panel, which is sometimes referred to as a kickplate. Getting to the belt is easy and since you don't have pull the dishwasher out from the wall, this repair won't take long. The only tool you will need is a screwdriver.
Always remember:
It's important to cut the power source to the dishwasher before attempting any repairs. You can unplug the power cord, remove the fuse from the fuse box, or flip the breaker in the circuit breaker panel. After the power is cut, you may continue.
Open the dishwasher door to locate the screws for the access panel. Once the screws are removed, close the door and remove the panel. The old belt will be stretched a bit making it easier to remove. It will slip down off the pulleys. Replacing the belt is not so simple. It will have a much tighter fit.
The easiest way to get a new belt on the pulleys is to put one end of the belt around the pump housing, directly above the pump pulley. Put the other end of the belt around the motor pulley. Carefully roll the belt down the pump housing until it sits properly in place.
Finally you can reattach the access panel and reconnect the power source. Your old dishwasher is back up and ready to go again.

The Volusia Wooden Garden Bench exceeded all of our expectations, especially given the reduced price which we assumed was because of the less than perfect non-durable finish it came with. Thus we rectified this situation by revarnishing it ourselves, much to our satisfaction. We are very pleased with the purchase. It is well designed and easy to assemble. The pop-up tray-table in the center is a real plus, not often found with most outdoor benches.

Really pleased with purchase. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Low comfortable seating. Light but sturdy. Sits perfectly on our new decking. Have bought second set so really useful to have 4 chairs and 2 tables when we have visitors! Good value for money.

So pleased with this. Delivery was straight forward. My husband assembled it easily in less than an hour. The kids are now tidying shoes away and no longer throwing them everywhere, causing a death trap assault course for daddy and me. It's also a great place to sit for story time. All for a great price too.

I ordered this garden bench in the blue and love it! It gives our front porch a great pop of color. So glad the blue bench came back in stock!

We love the bench and it was fairly easy to assemble. Unfortunately I saw same bench at Home Goods for $80.00 less after I purchased.

This is the 2nd storage seat that I've purchased and I'm very pleased with this item. It looks very neat, it's not too large nor too small. It keeps our outdoor cushions in fine shape and recently made a comfy extra seat for some guests. I really like the darker color of this, also.

Bench is a lovely color and I love that there is a little table that pops up in the middle. There are some dried paint drips, the table section where it locks in place was cracked, and some seams show, which I’m not super happy about. Hoping it will be a sturdy bench that will last is regardless.

Easy to assemble and very solid bench. Shaped for comfort and identical to one in John Lewis at over double the price. Bought two which weirdly were delivered same day but a few hours apart.

Well designed! Ultra comfortable and surprisingly east to get out of. Easy to assemble as already partly assembled. Very good finish and lovely colour. We highly recommend the Alyson Swift Garden Chair!

The look is great. The quality of the rattan is not that great (not strong) and the cushions are soaked in fire-retardant which is really not eco-friendly nor good for the body. It started dripping off when the rain hit the cushions.

Love having an extra table or seat whenever needed. They are outdoor benches but the paint hasn’t lasted as long as I expected.

The package came in good time with the free delivery, so I was happy with that aspect of the order. The green house was easy to assemble using the instructions provided and I was happy with the design of the product, which fits nicely into its allocated space. My only complaint is that one of the depth poles is missing (68cm) Hope you can send the missing pole soon. Regards David Bamford
