Your dishwasher may pre-heat the water. If so, and if the water entering the dishwasher is cool, the heater may take up to half an hour to heat the water.

To avoid the wait, increase the incoming water temperature before turning on the dishwasher. Do that by running the kitchen sink faucet until the water runs hot. Or increase the temperature of the hot water to the entire house at the hot water heater.

Fixed the problem by replacing the ELECTRIC ANTI-OVERFLOW VALVE. Simple enough installation - bit fiddly.

There is water in the bottom panel which has activated the float switch which overrides everything to stop the room the dishwasher is in from flooding. Remove the panel look for the leak. In my case one of the pipes had come off. There will be a lot of water in the panel so try and drain it first, tip the washer forward over some sort of container to catch the water. In my case I got very wet.

Hi

The issue can either be with the unit not draining properly or the timer/electronic board itself has gone bad & should be replaced. First clean the drain hose and the drain pump for any clogs, you can do this by taking off the bottom access panel. After cleaning if still the issue is not resolved then the timer/control board has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hello David,

Have you removed and cleaned both filters and checked they are inserted correctly? I've uploaded the filter cleaning instructions to Flickr for you:

The centre (horseshoe) filter simply lifts out then rinse thoroughly under the tap. Make sure the handle is facing the front of the dishwasher when you replace it.

To clean the larger outer filter you need to remove the lower spray-arm (pulls upwards and off), then rotate the filter 90 degrees anti-clockwise and lift it out. Again rinse thoroughly under the tap and scrub thoroughly to make sure the mesh is clear.

Finally, before replacing the filters, check down in the sump where the filters go, remove any debris or build up of waste and give it a clean.

If this doesn't solve the problem, I suspect there may be a blockage in the discharge pipe causing excess pressure when the washer tries to pump out. This may be causing water to leak out from one of the seals associated with the drain pump. Start by disconnecting the discharge pipe from the trap under the sink and make sure the end of the discharge pipe and the inlet into the trap are clear. Remove the sink trap if necessary and clean it. If there is a blockage here, clearing it should solve the problem.

If not follow the discharge pipe back towards the washer and bend it a squeeze it gently to see if you can feel a blockage and loosen any build up of waste. If you find a blockage, flexing the pipe at that location should be enough to free it and it should pump through the next time you run the dishwasher.

Please try the above in the order suggested, then let me know if you need further assistance. You can reply to me by clicking on "Add a Comment" below your question. If you can determine where the water is leaking from, it would help.
