I have this job tomorrow, client says that it is filling up with water and cuts out after few mins. She says it is pumping water out.
any idea what I would be looking for to identify the culprit?

This machine is probably 10 years old and think that the first thing I would check for would be the circ motor stuck, used to do a load where the seals had leaked into the front bearing

Thanks Criscold,
I suspected that too, just feeling it out at the moment before I go to the job. I am not a huge fan of the lux though it is a simple set up but they give me headaches especially integrated slimline ones!

Re: Electolux D/W ESL424
I checked the dishwasher out, it’s 9 years old, underused by elderly couple.
Water fills, drains ok but no circulation so it is likely circulation motor failure. The program skipped rather quickly. Checked for earth and low insulation – all appears to be correct. Very awkward to work on due to limited space. Cost of repair was not justified as they hardly use it so instead they decided to have a cupboard instead of a new dishwasher.
TBH, I rarely get the chance to replace circulation motor as often it pushes the client into buying new appliance but I do put the offer on the plate so they can take it or leave it.
