Fisher & Paykel 918TD keeps pumping

[razor308]

Hi, just got a problem with this dishwasher .

I replaced the drain hose to the pump cleaned the water from the bottom pan. but here lies my problem, when i plug the dishwasher into the power point and turn it on it goes into pump mode right away with no display lights on. It didn’t do this before i touched it.

I believe this model doen’t have a float level switch as i cant find one nor is it in the part manual.

Please help or my wife will kill me soon. 😆

It doesn’t have a float switch, but it does have a secondary air pressure switch, which is the flood protection. Presumably this is activated, so you need to find out why.

Thanks for the reply Penguin45.
I been looking at the part manal for this machine and i can’t find a secondary air pressure switch listed. I yet to have another look at the dishwasher but last time i went over it trying to find something like this but couldn’t see it at all. Any idea’s where it would be located would help heaps.
Cheers

This unit has a Flood Switch under base
When Activated generally comes up With F1 fault
If there was Water in the base this should activate Flood Switch (Micro switch)

At Start of Wash cycle Drain pump Will come On Always For 15 Sec
Maybe just check base again to See If Micro switch hasnt Jammed up
