Servis Dishwasher
A warm welcome from me Nick, welcome to AW, you have a gem of a dishwasher, quite rare in the Servis badge. If the circulation pump and impeller and working fine then its like said above must be water pressure.
Can you remove all the arms and check they are free of food particles and not blocked ? Then check all the seals on the arms are working and plugged in the pipes to allow for full water pressure, hope its something simple !! Let us know how you get on... | ||

Servis & Tricity
Nick
Welcome to AW from me too. Interesting dishwasher that Servis - its from about 1976 and there were several other (largely) identical machines branded with other names - Bendix and Electrolux are two that come to mind although they had a different latching machanism - Frigidaire is another one although it looked superficially rather different, its almost identical. That Tricity oven is from the mid-late 1960s I think, I have one in my collection which is the next iteration (different control knobs and timer) - mine is filthy too. Time to get out the Oven Pride. These were all fundimentally the same up until they were phased out in, I think, the late 1980s with trim and colour changes and the addition of double and fan oven versions. It looks like yours might be missing two simple toggle switches from the centre of the control panel - one for oven light and one for rotesserie. There are plenty of these ovens around on ebay, sometimes with matching fridge and/or freezer if you decide its a bridge too far to restore this one. Look out for asbestos in the insulation too and, before you go too far, check the oven and grill elements actually work. There will be two elements in the oven, one on each side and they both need to work for even cooking. The hob is much later than the oven, late 70s/early 80s - it probably replaced the previous radient ring model. Look out for Hob Brite to clean that up - it is very easily available. Good luck Al | ||

Hello Nick
You may remember I commented on this on the tv forum. It’s like a Bendix model I had. And the pressure inside should be huge. Mine used to force the door forward a little and the noise was like a pressure washer nozzle hitting the window. It used lots of water and rinsed a lot because of the coarse filter it needed too as fine debris was washed around. The lower arm unscrews. But also had an aperture to allow water up to the middle arm. You can close this off fo increase pressure at the bottom to really blast lower dishes like baking trays. So if it’s only the middle arm that isn’t spinning check that the aperture is open. I’d remove both arms and soak in sink and try running a tap through them as maybe clogged. But you should still hear it running off the motor is going well. As I say noisy!! They don’t like modern 3 in one tabs. Too frothy it’s slows the arms down. Buy some old fashioned finish powder. Make sure delicate button not pressed. It allows air in to pump to reduce pressure but increases noise more.
I’ve put link to my original thread. Good luck Richard. Nice oven too CLICK HERE TO GO TO Ricky5050's LINK

Hi Nick. Great news that a Servis Mk82 has surfaced and your example looks in fine visual fettle. Really hope you succeed in getting it working properly again - fingers crossed. Please keep us updated with how it goes. Regards Paul

A few brochures I posted these on another thread recently, but if you didn't see them here they are again. Cheers, Alan | ||
