Thanks very much appreciate the comments, think I am stuck with it, as there is no way to dismantle. Guess it is back to washing by hand when it breaks down, it is 12 years old now, otherwise I would be back to the Kitchen Company complaining, as they knew full well that I was tiling in front of it and should have allowed for this. I may not use it again, as if it goes wrong it may be a problem. It is a Neff machine and has only been used once or twice a week, as I am on my own now. Managed without one for years, guess we are spoilt these days with modern day appliances
