Dishwasher only working on rinse or soak.

[carken1]

Hi all.
I have had a CDW45W10 currys essentials dishwasher for about 3 years which has developed a fault.
A few minutes after starting up it starts making what I can only describe as a pulsing noise but doesn’t do any more than this. When I open it to check there is evidence of water having been sprayed but not much, also sometimes the dispenser is open and sometimes it is still closed. I close the door and restart it and after a few minutes the same thing happens again. It will work on the rinse and the soak program but not on any of the wash ones. I’ve checked the filters and they’re fine.
I’ve checked the manual but nothing like this is listed.
Thank you

that does sound a bit like a possible circuit board problem

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your reply. I thought it might be something like that. Do you know if this is likely to be an expensive fix?

Re: Dishwasher only working on rinse or soak.

there seems to be 2 different boards depending on serial number. the wholesaler I looked at quoted a retail price of about £60 plus vat but it may well be got cheaper. plus fitting if you cant do it yourself

you could ask the site shop to see if they can supply

I’ll get the serial number and price it. Thanks, Dave, for your help. Very much appreciated.
Kind regards, Carol.
