The first time I used the dishwasher it worked perfectly. Since then it makes noise as if about to work correctly and then stops after around 5 minutes. The light flashes as if it worked correctly. No water seems to have entered the washer and the tablet wasn't released. I have tried all different settings and made sure the door was properly closed.

sounds like the dispenser solenoid is faulty you will need to replace the whole unit, this involves removing the door panel.

Jon, check that the inlet water valve works(it is an electromagnet valve, located at the pipe's entrance to the machine)). If it doesn't work, test that it get power. In case it get power and doesn't work - You can easily open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace it for a new one. Good luck

I think I had a similar problem to this. It seems like it was starting a cycle but then it just stalled and made a buzzing noise and it did not drain properly. I opened the bottom of the dishwasher where the draining pump was located. take off the plastic cover and I found bits of broken plates were jamming the fins on the pump... Try this and see how it goes.. Hope it was of some asistance.
