    Hi folks
    first posting so be gentle ! :rolls:

    Having problems with the dishwasher, panel lights 4 & 5 stay on and beeps when switched on.
    Tried to reset the usual way with no success

    Does this mean its a PCB fault issue ?
    Read up on QER Workington for repair, would just like to know if this is the right direction for a solution.

    PS is the PCB in the door or in the back ?

    Thanks,

    Lights 4+5 indicate that the programme has completed. If the door latch is in the closed position, you cannot reprogramme the machine.

    Re-set procedure is only appropriate for the E7 error.

    Pcb is in the facia – next to the door latch. 😀

    Stay safe, power off if you intend to resolve this yourself.

    OK thanks for the reply, whenever it has finished a wash cycle before it has never displayed lights 4+5.

    So could it be a stuck closed door switch, leaving it in a mode that cannot be reset ?

    PS when the door is closed a pump momentarily starts then stops and this keeps repeating, does this help with any diagnosis ?

    Thanks

    Ah – the pulsing drain pump – this is not good. You’re almost certainly looking at a corruption issue with the PCB. You’d better have a read of THIS ARTICLE. No simple or cheap solution, I’m afraid.
