Hi there. I have an Ariston dishwasher approx 5 1/2 years old. Has only been used 3-4 times during that period however we have now decided to use it regularly since about 3 weeks ago. However it is not taking the cleaner from the dispenser. Have tried both the powder tablets and a gel cleaner. When it finishes the cycle there ‘s a light displaying an S inside a box that looks like it pouring something out. I’m assuming this is the suds dispenser. Can you help me.
Many thanks
Marg
