8 year old dishwasher failed to empty water after cylcle then failed to fill and kept running dry without turning off .
I took side panel off cleaned tubes and the filling unit. Turned machine on. Now all it wants to do is empty water. I filled the machine manually and it just empties and nothing else.
Next I took front switch panel off and now the on button won’t stay on.
This is the machine built on a tray. If it floods, a polystyrene float rises up and lifts the red rod, working the over-ride switch next to the level switch. Check for water in the tray – you say you have stripped the matrix, so check for correct re-assembly and location of the red rod.
Thanks Penguin for your patience and quick response,
At last some progress after thoroughly cleaning the matrix I now have water entering the machine but I have to hold the switch – it is not catching. I will take this off and investigate (with the power off of course!).
I took the switch apart (how many springs????). The small brass wheel had come out of place. All back together and hey presto now working. Again thanks Penguin – YOU THE MAN…
