My zanussi dishwasher zdt12011fa will not switch off and the pump continues to run, obviously trying to remove non existant water! any ideas??

I tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a
website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my ford explorer. it wont move forward or reverse, engine is good both solenoids for forward and reverse work.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and works perfect! got it from www.reliable-store.com

Check heater ( multi meter) if ok then pcb failure, sometimes just a dry joint on board

get a tech out there, as these appliances get more sophicated, they become nightmares its best to buy a basic model

Most likely your dishwasher finds fault.

Appliances without a display will show the alarms by a number of flashes of the LED "end of cycle".

For example: one flash = i10, two flashes = i20
..........and so on

So, count how many times LED "end of cycle" flashes and you will know the error code.

The flood switch has tripped, this is either due to water in the base of the dishwasher or a faulty flood switch.

sounds like no water to system or the pump is clogged or broken

sounds like the flood switch has activated.

You will have to drag the dishwasher out from under the counter after turning off the power to it. Tilt to one side so that any water collected under it is expelled. This will free up the flood switch. Wait about 30 minutes and turn the power back on.

There could be a leak of some sorts from the door seal or hoses which is causing the water to collect.

Hope this solves the problem. It is unclear why none of the lights are lighting up to show a fault condition.

The outlet pump is triggered by the anti flood micro switch via the polystyreene float on the base of the washer. If any water for whatever reason (leaky pipe)is on the floor the machiene automatically switches to pump out mode and only works once the water and the cause is rectified

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

Aquastop on water inlet tripped. Turn off and slightly undo main inlet hose. find water inlet valve and remove thin pipe from nipple. Turn m/c on for a few seconds, turn off and replace all pipes m/c will now fill and continue
