Quick answer: Dishlex dishwasher parts are stocked in Australia and ship same day — drain pumps ($25.95–$38.95) covering the DSF6105, DSF6106, DSF6205, DSF6306, DX103SK and DX303SK ranges, and inlet valves from $18.85. Dishlex sits inside the Electrolux family, so the machines share their platform with Electrolux and Westinghouse dishwashers — the parts are standard, well-made and straightforward to fit yourself once you match your DSF or DX model number.
Find your Dishlex part by model number
An Australian kitchen staple, and easy to keep running
Dishlex has been a fixture in Australian kitchens for decades, and today’s machines are built within the Electrolux family. That is good news when something fails: the parts inside are shared across the group’s platform, they are readily available, and the two faults that account for most dead Dishlex dishwashers — a machine that won’t drain and a machine that won’t fill — are both fixed with a part costing well under fifty dollars. We stock the parts and dispatch from Sydney.
Common Dishlex faults and the part that fixes them
| Symptom | Part |
|---|---|
 Won’t drain — water sitting in the base after the cycle (DSF6105 range) | Drain pump — DSF6105 / DSF6105W / DSF6105X / DSF6306 · 50Hz drain pump 140000443212 — DSF6105X / DSF6106X |
 Won’t drain (DSF6205 / DSF6306X range) | Drain pump — DSF6306X / DSF6205 / DSF6205W / DSF6205X |
 Won’t drain (older DX-series freestanding models) | Drain pump — DX103SK / DX303SK |
 Won’t drain (other Dishlex models — match by part number) | Drain pump 140000443022 · Drain pump 140000443030 |
 Won’t fill, fills slowly, or hums at the start of the cycle | Inlet valve 0136400041 — Electrolux / Dishlex / Westinghouse |
Who makes Dishlex dishwashers?
Dishlex is one of the Electrolux family’s Australian brands, and the machines are built on the group’s shared dishwasher platform. The catalogue makes that visible: the inlet valve listed above is the same part sold for Electrolux, Dishlex and Westinghouse dishwashers alike. That platform sharing is exactly why a Dishlex is worth repairing — the spares are common, proven parts rather than orphaned components.
It also means the fault behaviour carries across brands. A fill fault on this platform shows the same symptoms whichever badge is on the door — if you want the deeper walkthrough of a no-fill fault, our Westinghouse i10 error guide covers the shared fill circuit and the same inlet valve.
The drain pump: the part that saves most Dishlex machines
By far the most common Dishlex failure is a machine that finishes the cycle with water still sitting in the base, or stops mid-cycle with a drain fault. Before ordering anything, clear the filter assembly in the floor of the tub and check the drain hose isn’t kinked — that fixes a share of cases for free. If the machine still won’t pump out, the drain pump has failed. It is a small, inexpensive motor that sits in the sump, and on these machines it is accessible without removing the dishwasher from the cavity on many installations. Match your exact model — DSF6105, DSF6205, DSF6306 and the DX series each take their own pump, all listed in the table above.
Finding your Dishlex model number
The model sticker is on the edge of the door or the side of the door frame — visible when the door is open. Dishlex models typically start with DSF (current ranges) or DX (older freestanding machines). Match the full model number against the fitment list on the product page, or browse every Dishlex part we stock.
Frequently asked questions
Can you still get parts for Dishlex dishwashers?
Yes — drain pumps for the DSF6105, DSF6106, DSF6205, DSF6306 and DX ranges plus inlet valves are all in stock and shipped from Sydney. Because Dishlex is part of the Electrolux family, the parts are shared-platform components that remain available.
My Dishlex won’t drain — is it worth fixing?
Almost always. Clear the filter and check the hose first; if the pump has failed, the replacement is $25.95–$38.95 and a manageable DIY job. That is a fraction of the cost of replacing the machine.
Which drain pump fits my model?
Match your full model number from the model sticker against the fitment list in each listing — the DSF6105, DSF6205/DSF6306X and DX103SK/DX303SK ranges each take a different pump. If your model isn’t shown, run it through the Part Finder.
My Dishlex hums but won’t fill — what is it?
With the tap on and the hose clear, a hum with no water at the start of the cycle is the classic sign of a failed inlet valve — the $18.85 part in the table above.
Same-day dispatch on Dishlex parts?
Yes — order before 12pm Sydney time for same-day dispatch Australia-wide, flat $10.60 shipping.
