Domestic water well pump relay

Does the pump run before any water enters the washer? If so, then you have a problem with the control board or a problem with the pump control.

The more common issue is a siphon. This starts when the water going into the machine gets higher than the end of the discharge hose in your stand pipe or laundry sink. Fixing a siphon is easy - lift the end of the drain hose so that it is higher than the highest water level of the washer. You may need to lengthen the stand pipe. (The maximum height of the stand pipe can be15'; that's maximum height that the pump can push the water.) If you are using a floor drain, then the anti-siphon/air gap system is damaged.

I hope this helps. There are parts available for the Miele W1918 online. You need to enter the serial number of the washer to get the right pump or control board.

Electric water heaters need the power turned off when servicing the hot water system or risk burning out the heating elements. Water heater tank water level must be filled before restoring power to the heating elements.
The closed circuit water pump also needs the power turned off while servicing the loop or risk pump seal damage.
Loop pump needs water to work, air pockets trapped in the pump will avoid water circulation.
Please provide better information for a better answer.

Is this a new fault or has it always done this? What's the water stream like while pumping out, but before the spin cycle? Noticed any changes? Can you tell if the pump is still working during the spin cycle (hard to tell by listening but try). It should still be pumping during the spin cycle. Sadly for you, reviews of this model are not too complimentary, and help requests cover a variety of faults. Looks like it may be a bit of a lemon.

If the pump is still running during spin, a possible (likely?) fault cause is a damaged impeller, which would make it pump adequately during the main drain cycle, but lose pumping ability rapidly as soon as there was not much more water to pump, and the backflow leakage rate equalled the rate of water collection at the pump inlet. As well, in that scenario, any water still in the drain line would flow back into the drum as soon as the cycle finished.

Check the water pressure.

what brand dishwasher do you have
is it a domestic brand,or is it imported(bosch,meile,asko,lg ect)

if it is domestic the water level on most brands in typically level with or right above the heat element

The wiring is not what makes a pump full cycle or circulate. If the spa motor is always on it is either because the pump relay is stuck closed, or the heater isnt keeping temerature therefor requiring the pump to be constantly running. There are also setting on newer style computer boards which determine a pump to be either "jet" or "circulation" pumps.

Also, a spa pump will run fulltime if the water is below 50 degrees F.

DWF 415 Ikea Whirlpool Dishwasher has constant green blinking light. Drain pump works ok (as it will pump out a jug of water if I tip it into it!) but no water comes in. Cycle stops about 30 seconds after thre is no more water to pump. Any ideas on how to fix?

if thats a new themostst it sounds like you didnt set the cycle dip switches correctly,the type of heat you have is unknown to the thermostat so you have to tell it or it may short cycle or overheat

Check first that no debris is blocking the holes in the spray arm where the water comes out, and clean out the holes. In case it will not solve your problem, it's look like a pump problem (the pump has two functions : drive water to the spray arms and to drain water out the washer). Open the rear panel and listen if the pump works during the wash cycle. In case it doesn't work, it should be replaced. Good luck !
