Free: Integral Dishwasher (BOSCH) - spares/repair (Witherslack LA11) Expired Integral design so can be fitted with a front to match kitchen decor. All hoses and connectors intact. Dishwasher was working reliably until recently - now does not heat water so dishes are wet at end of cycle (apparently this is a common fault with BOSCH dishwashers!); I suspect there is a problem with the heat controller or heating element. Probably could run on hot water intake? Can get model nos if interested. This was recently replaced with another BOSCH dishwasher by Atlantis Kitchens. If no-one wants it, it is destined to be recycled shortly.
