    hi guys, having a headache with this dishwasher.machine pumps out,then fills to start level,the wash motor doesnt start and it shows 6 flashes until i reset and it pumps to empty. fault codes indicate faults with reed switch or door wiring.ive replaced the reed switch,belled out all wiring[seems ok]and swapped the control module in base of unit.no joy whatsoever.im now scratching my head.any ideas gratfully received thanks in advance,maxx

    6 flashes i thought that was flow meter issues,ie poor connections on metering can or replace m/can.paul

    i think switch in sump will give either 2 or 4 flashes.
    the six flashes is not filling fast enough. is the pressure o.k?
    is the valve clogged pipe kinked etc etc?

    it seems to be filling ok.checked valve and hoses.im thinking that “metering can”is what i would call a flow meter,paul,ive swapped it but i may try cleaning all the connections on the control module next.this one is stretching me at the moment but its great to have your suggestions .thanx guys.maxx
