    I have an Ikea Whirlpool Integrated Dishwasher model dwf 416. When the door is fully open all the lights are correctly on. As I close the door, when it is about 12 inches from being fully shut, the lights all go out. Therefore the machine can not be started.

    I initially thought it was an electrical problem. However on looking inside the machine I saw that there was an unusually large amount of water in the bottom of the machine. My guess is that the two events are connected.

    Could it be that the drainage flow is blocked and this automatically causes the dishwasher electrics to act in this way.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I think I’d be looking for loose wiring at the control panel…..

    Power off first.
