    thanks unit has no timer - and we did try and fill up to check that the water supply was not the issue - but as far as we could tell that did not work (assuming we did it right that is!)

    If this unit has a controller board, as opposed to a timer, it may be a bad controller board. If it has a timer, can you rotate the timer manually and get any action to occur?

    It could also be the fill solenoid or water supply. Sometimes the timers or controllers don't advance until they know there is water in the unit.

    Please reply to clarify.

What your saying is suggesting a water supply issue. The Model number you've given can not be found on the Neff website.

You will need to disconnect power, turn the water supply off (under sink or behind dishwasher), disconnect the water line, put the end of the hose in a bucket or cup, turn water back on slowly and make sure water flows. Turn back off. If water flows -

Then check that there is not a restriction in the water solenoid valve. If you know how to use a multimeter, check the water valve solenoid for continuity.

Plug the unit back in, and initiate a wash cycle, and watch for voltage applied to the water solenoid valve. If you get voltage, you should hear the valve open.
Power the unit off, connect the water line, and repower the unit. Check again if water does or doesnt flow.

Let me know what you find.

Neff Integrated Dishwasher. The pump on my dishwasher won't stop running!

That is the classic behaviour of a flood sensor being wet. You said 'anti flood float'. I know them as a small sensor in a tray under the machine and above the floor in a plastic pan. If it is that where your float is, then you need a service call to diagnose. It is likely to be a circuit board issue and they are expensive so need proper eyes-on trained diagnosis.

Deactivate childlock on fully integrated neff dishwasher

If door won't close and you don't have a child-lock, just push the door closed a lot harder than you normally would - NEFF manual says to do that, and it worked for me! I think it just forces it to engage and 'releases' the catch, as after that it closed with just normal pressure applied.

Dishwasher not working. Start button works ok as

Hello,

It sounds as though the Anti-flood device has kicked in,could be due to a leak under the dishwasher,it will need to be pulled out and investigated.
I would also check that there is water at the hose to the machine.

Hope this helps.

Neff dishwasher door problem.

The latch on many dishwashers is adjustable. If your door is easy to close but difficult to latch, adjust the latch to let the door close more easily. If you can't see any way to adjust the latch, yours may be fixed in a certain position. Check for other reasons for the latching problem.

Neff dishwasher removal

this may work - if it is an integrated dishwasher you should have a star shaped screw attaching the door to the machine on either side (about half way down). try pulling the machine out - and then looking for the holes on either side at the front. insert a star screw driver (may not work with other screwdrivers) and release the bolts (screws) then slide the door upwards.

Adjusting the door on a neff dishwasher

I have the same problem with my newly installed Miele integrated dishwasher. The door does not stay open when you are trying to load dishes. I heard that there is an adjustable internal mechanism to adjust the tension on the door. But, I am still working on solving my problem.
