please help as my hands are getting to softRe: help
You wiil probably find that the machine has leaked into the undertray and operated the floatswitch. This turns on the drain pump and over-rides the computer. With the power off :plug: drain the undertray to reset the switch. However, you do need to find the source of the leak.

Penguin45.Hi Fazzer,
If you’re unsure at that stage I would honestly recommend that you get an engineer in to look at the machine. You can try Repairs@ over on the navigation bar or the Directories to find a repairer. If you’ve no luck in either pop your postcode up and I’ll see what I can find for you.

Re: help
no luck with finding an engineer if you could give me a few pointers on how to drain i will give it a go,i got nothing to lose,if i cant fix i will have to pay out for new one ,so i might as well try
What’s the model number?
But in essence there’s a baseplate (the names a giveaway ;)) that requires drained possibly. There are other reasons for this to occur but it’s a start.
However, as P says that’s only the start.

Guys,
Someone refresh my memory please is that the Whirlpool one? If so Dentedporche is the resident expert on them. 😉

Fazzer,
Diplomat have never made a dishwasher in their lives – they are all bought in and badged. Between us we should be able to work out who made it, then we might get nearer to the answer.Regards,

Yup, no problem Fazzer – we now have enough info to work out what it REALLY is 😆 .

Re: help
Ok, it’s a SMEG-made dishwasher, which is a bit unfortunate. Normally, faults are indicated by codes being displayed on the screen. If you have a “random” screen, no programming and strange operations taking place, it is more than likely that the computer board has failed.
At this point, you need to get pro help. The computer board will be an expensive component, so it will be in your own interest to have the diagnosis confirmed professionally.
Check repairs@ukwhitegoods.com or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.
