Try putting vinegar in the rinse dispenser for a few cycles. Monitor the level of vinegar in the dispenser and see if it goes back to normal consumption.
I suspect something hard like a fragment of chicken bone or a citrus seed is at the inlet to the drain pump (my favorite was a plastic pull strip from a frozen juice concentrate can - that was LOUD). Many dishwashers have a chopper similar to that in a garbage disposal right before the pump inlet, but some things like bone won't go through it. It could be something light enough to float and only hits the pump when the water level drops. You may have to remove the pump cover in the bottom of the dishwasher to find it. This would be a good time to clean any garbage out of the lower spray arm and check the spray arm bushing for excess wear.
The light cover on the side is loose causing it to flood remove the side and tighten the light cover the tilt the dishwasher to get water out of the float tray. let the dishwasher dry out and you should be grand
There is a one small plastic white pot under the dosing units.
Two wires comes to its bottom and connects to each other when detergent leaks from the dosing pump/hose. It is not easy to see this two wires.
Machine wont start until alarm active.
if the washer is getting power and the display board is not lighting up, then the display board may need to be replaced. Unfortunately, the part seems to be backordered straight from the factory. You may want to contact Crosley customer support for further assistance.
Hi Guest and welcome to Fixya,
I don't think what you're describing is the delay start, but rather a problem with one of the heating component's and most likely the heater relay on the electronic control. Likely if you let the unit operate from that point of displaying "2H" it will run and run for several hours and not heat the water. You can confirm this by pulling out the control and visually inspecting the printed circuit side of the control. Look for a burnt solder on the opposite side of the largest relay ( black or orange retangular box ). That will confirm the heater relay is faulty and the control either needs to be replaced or repaired if you are capable of resoldering the board.
Let me know what you find and I'll try and assist you further if you require any.
Thanks for visiting "fixya" today and good luck moving forward.

Pull it out and tip it on its front and you should be able to work from underneath, or remove the side panel. This appears to be an Australian model. We are in North America, so this link should work better for you.
