    My dishwasher timer keeps stopping after 2-3 minutes.
    By manually moving the wheel a few clicks, it restarts for a few minutes but stops again.

    This happens on all 3 wash cycles.
    The rinse and hold cycle works OK though.

    There is a ‘grumbling’ noise at the bottom front left when it starts.
    I don’t think it used to do this?

    Any advice or suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks

    It sounds like a drain pump problem (the noise).

    Pretty straightforward repair, check the repairs@ link below for an engineer 🙂

    If you decide to have a look yourself, power off please :zap:

    Thanks Dave

    Is it just the noise symptom you are refering to?
    Would this also cause the machine to stop after 2-3 mins?
    Also the fact that the rinse cycle works is strange.

    Grumbling noise from the left could be fill valve. Have a read of this:

    Might help.

    Thanks Penguin. I followed the instructions. The grumbling stopped but the machine was still stopping.

    I stripped out the sump? assy and cleaned this out.
    I tested the machine with the side covers and base plate off.
    It now works but there is a very slight leak. Approx 1 tablespoon on the longest cycle I would estimate. The water is dripping onto the fill motor mounting plate and would gather on the base plate if it was fitted. It does not drip near any electrics or motors

    I would guess that the sump seal is leaking slightly.
    Does this require attention or will the water evaporate naturally?
    If it does need correcting, are there any tricks to getting it to seal properly or is a replacement required?

    The door switch is constantly active – machine keeps running.
    It doesn’t latch either. Is the switch on the latch assy?

    A mouse had nibbled through the waste hose soaking the floor!
    Fortunately I have able to reverse the hose and trim the nibbled bit off.
