Unplug from wall for 1 min. to reset. Then try to restart.

Check the end of your drain hose for the clog.

My Swan Dishwasher defaults to Intensive and keeps beeping, It will not start, can anybody help me please The model number is SDW7030W. Thanks

Hi,
I followed some of the good instructions already on Fixya. I had checked the heater and it was o.k. I then took the front door of the washer apart to get at the control box. Sure enough, I also had the common design fault. One leg of the rely had scorch marks and was now disconnected from the circuit board. I will solder tonight and test. I include a photo of the burned board. TNoel P

Hi, I have a Hotpiont FWD60, the "delicate" lamp has started flashing about twice a second. Any ideas? Thanks, Nick

Pull the built in unit out and tilt towards the rear right leg and the water will drain on to the floor. The Dishwasher then restarts but the anti flood sensor will reactivate after 2-3 more washes. Do not know final fix yet.

YOU NEED TO LOCATE THE THERMOSTAT AND CHECK IF ITS WORKING CORRECTLY IF THE READIND ON THE STAT IS FINE YOUR ELEMENT MIGHT BE FAULTH.BEST YOU GET A TECH TO ASSIST YOU AS ITS A TUFF JOB TO DO ALONE.

GOODLUCK.

I've just had similar - seems to be a problem in the controller module - they're reasonably inexpensive online.
Undo the top-part of the door, about 5 screws across the top and side - the top section pops out, and the control module is now on the inside - if you free off the connectors (not too simple, but doable) you'll probably find some scorch marks on the PCB ... hopefully the wiring isn't damaged, and you can just replace the PCB ...
If you also have wiring damage, well, trace back and replace as required
(probably too late for the OP, but worth recording in any case)
