BEKO slimline dishwasher – stuck on drain

[icebox]

Hi,

Pretty sure that the programme board is knackered on my BEKO DE2431F slimline dishwasher. It seems to be permanently stuck on drain with the pump going. If you turn it off it just goes back to continuing to try and empty.

Fault started a few days ago and we switched off at plug and left for a while and machine worked OK for a couple of goes. Same trick doesn’t work now.

Is there anything I can do to get it working or do I ditch the machine? It is less than 3 years old.

Thanks

Flood protection operating? Base tray full of water will operate the anti-flood float switch and turn the drain pump on until the water level drops. Drain the tray and see what happens. If it does it again, you’re playing “Find the leak”.

Power off first, mind.

Thanks Penguin45 – I think your diagnosis was spot on. In terms of hunting the leak I think it is likely to be the the main seal that the door closes against. One side of the small horizontal bit at the bottom (near the hinge) seemed to have been forced out by dirt. However it is not clear how that bit if seal is meant to sit. The rest of the seal just fits into the clips but the small horzontal couple of centimetres at the bottom does not seem to have any clip. Is some sort of glue or sealant used to fix that? The other side seems to be firmly fixed. Grateful for further advice and thanks for your help so far.
