FDL570 Flashing lights (the combination is different to others here)

[Karlos_no1]

Good evening guys,
I’ve come down tonight after putting the dishwasher on as normal to find 4 flashing lights and the water not drained. When it is switched off and turned back on again it all seems normal but doesn’t start. 5 mins later the lights flash again. These are the salt, rinseaid, wash and dry. I have searched the net for what this means but the combination of these lights doesn’t seem to appear anywhere! Does.anyone know what this fault may be?

well you may have answered you own question

you say the water did not drain
when you start a programme the water has to drain first

since this is not happening the chances are the pump has jammed with a bit of glass or crockery etc

You obviously didn’t search the internet properly. 😉

Thank you both… I feared I would need to buy a new one, or at least a new pump, as it has survived 10 years so far! Once the pump was disconnected a mysterious piece of metal fell out. It passed a Prewash cycle and pump out, currently doing an empty normal wash so fingers crossed all goes to plan.

should be fine now
