Take out the spinning arms and check the holes to see if they're blocked

Also check you're not over-filling it

Take all the gubbins out of the bottom and check that that pump thing (looks like a little plastic wheel from a Mississippi paddle steamer) isn't clogged with anything

Swear a bit, this often helps

Then swear at Creo and tell him that fixing dishwashers is a Blue Job. (All domestic jobs chez Git are designated either Blue or Pink. Jobs involving dirt, vomit, poo, screwdrivers or brute strength are Blue. Jobs involving delicacy, diplomacy or linen are Pink.)
