    Hi
    Ive posted before but its been 4 years since my dishwasher has given me any trouble. The fault light has now started to blink 6 times in succession, ive tried all the usual stuff, changed the program and reset the cycles, cleaned the filter, inlet pipe, outlet pipe, and checked for blockages in the internal pipes but no luck. Can someone tell me wht this error message means, Thanks

    F6. 6 Flashes. Water valve (WV1) is switched on but flow meter (FM) senses no impulses (less than 10 impulses in 10 secs) and the water indicator (WI) is at a low level
    Water Valve Closed. Water inlet hose blocked.
    Water inlet valve (WV1) defective. Flow meter (FM) defective (leads to FM failure)

    Thanks very much, Ive checked the inlet hose and it seems to be OK, no blockages and the inlet tap is on !! however it looks and sounds like the machine isnt drawing water into it when you try to run any of the cycles. I looked inside the valve just inside the machine and it loks clean and nothings blocking the filter, what do you recommend I try next ? Replace the water inlet valve ? If so any idea how much these are.
    Thanks
    Tobesmac.
