On Christmas Eve our 5 year old Tecnik (sorry no model number)dishwasher developed a fault in that having clearly finished washing the dishes it was still making a noise indicating that it was on. It even carried on making the noise after I opened the door but there was no water in it so I switched it off.
On Christmas day I loaded it with the dishes and as soon as I pressed the on button it started to make a noise as if it was on which it wouldn’t normally do until the door was shut as the buttons are on the inside top of the door. Even though it was making this (normal working) noise it wasn’t actually working whether the door was open or closed.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Problem with Tecnik Dishwasher
Flood protection activated will often run for as long as the machine is plugged in, regardless of whether or not the actual on/off switch is used. This means that the base under the machine is flooded. Drain base, find leak.
Power off if working on the machine.
There is always a model number – check for labels around edge of door, or even etching on the top of the door inner panel.

Re: Problem with Tecnik Dishwasher
Wasn’t brave enough to open the thing up, and didn’t have the tool anyway, but thought that if you were right and just supposin on the fateful night I had opened the dishwasher mid-wash, and some water had spilled out 😳 , that a spell of evaporation might cure it.
So everyday since, I have pressed the button morning and night and it has disappointingly come on straightaway – so flood protection still working. But tonight joy of joys it didn’t come on so I hurriedly loaded it up, pressed the button, closed the door and ha ha it worked. The usually annoying bleep of it having finished was music to our ears.
So thanks for the advice Penguin45 and I didn’t deliberately withhold the info about opening it up mid-wash, I actually only thought about it when you mentioned flooding. 😆
A spell of washing the dishes by hand has made us all appreciate our dishwasher…but I still can’t find a model number. 😀
