    Please help as I am going spare!

    Our Whirpool / Ikea DWH C10 W dishwasher has an intermittent fault. It is ‘stuck’ making a grinding noise as if it is stuck trying to drain or something. Resetting the cycle does nothing – as soon as you switch it on, the whirring / grinding noise starts and will not stop until it’s switched off. It will not wash or anything, but it will drain water ok if you poor some in then reset the cycle.

    This dishwasher has does this a few times before , then the problem mysteriously goes away after a few days. However it’s been stuck for a week now. I am wondering if is a faulty sensor of some kind? Perhaps the machine constantly thinks it needs to drain when it does not?

    The dishwasher has no display so it does not have error codes or anything.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Sorted! Had a good read through the forums, it was the flood prevention sensor. Some greasy water had got in the bottom part. Pulled the dishwasher out, tipped forward, water poured out (only an egg cup full) problem solved.
