When I turn the dishwasher on the water starts to come in from a shower head type disk on the top of the left wall inside the dishwasher, it trickles down onto the floor and then through the filter in the floor and straight out throught the drain hose. I have tried turning the power off and filling the floor with water from a saucepan, then turning it on to see if it will pump the water to the arms, but when i turn it on it just drains all the water out. Once the water has drained it sounds like a coffee perculater so i can only assume that the damn thing is stuck in drain mode. Can anyone suggest any possible diagnosis.
Re: Ariston AF250 Constently in drain mode
It is very likely the ‘Flood Protection Device’ has activated!
The machine has probably a water flooded bottom plate for this to come into play. Usually brought about because of an internal leak, faulty circulating pump, leaky door gasket etc.
Tip the machine towards its back slightly to see if any water leaks out.
PULL THE PLUG FIRST THOUGH :plug:

Re: Ariston AF250 Constently in drain mode
Had it on its back, tillted and twisted but no water leaks. I had all the panels off and found that the foam inside the door at the bottom was wet/damp. When I took the floor plate off underneath there was a small amount of white crumberly scum around the overflow pipe. Screwed to the bottom of the floor plate was a switch and a moulded peice of polystyrene in the housing depressing the arm of the switch, I found the polystyrene to be loose and woberly and not depressing the switch in so i folded some cardboard up and wedged it under to securely depress the arm of the switch. I don’t know if i should of done that or what the purpose of the switch is.

No! No! No! that needs to be “loose and wobbly” and acts as a float switch if water is present :lesson:
Remove the cardboard and let it FREE!!!!!!!!! 😀
Should work now 😉
