Electrolux ESL6115 keeps filling with water

[stagger321]

Hi there.

I have a Electrolux ESL 6115 fitted dishwasher in the property that we let out last year.
When we bought the property the dishwasher was in place, new and unused.
The tenant a while back complained of a leak from this dishwasher, where it was eventually filling in the inside, with fresh water and leaking out onto the kitchen floor.

Bizarrely its at this point we found out that when he first viewed the property he thought it was a washing machine (!?!), so had not used it as he lived on his own and had no need for the dishwasher.

We live over 100miles away so have to rely on the management company to get a plumber in. As the guy only wanted a washing machine, the plumber capped off the water supply and problem went away.
We have a new tenant moving in, so need it resolved.
As the machine has not been used, but sat there under mains water pressure unused, I assumed an inlet valve had let go.
Is this assumption correct? Would this be the likely cause???

If so am I looking of a solenoid inlet valve, and are these easy to fit?
Or is it likely something else.

Thanks

if its filling without the power being on then its got to be the valve

there are 5 machines with the same model so I will need PNC number complete to be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} but the one I looked up is for PNC number 911939001 / 00

Thanks Dave.

That’s what I thought, and the part you link to looks like I had also found online.
I will get the exact model from the agents before we go to the property, and order the right one.

I have done DIY work on Washing machines, Tumble dryer and our last Dishwasher before, so not afraid of getting my hands dirty.
I’ve done the standard thing of googling and have a repair youtube guide here:

Am I on the right lines?
