Hotpoint FDW60 light flashing

[biffo]

My FDW60 is around 18 months old. Today I found the Eco light is flashing and the pump is going – it sounds like the machine is trying to empty itself, but it keeps on going forever. This flashing light is the 3rd green light from the left, or 4th light if you include the red rinse aid light as the first. Any ideas?

I can’t find my manual, despite having every other manual for everything I’ve ever owned – I know this, because I’ve just spent an hour going through them all! 🙁

Thanks for any help.

It usually indicates a flooded baseplate caused by an internal leak somewhere?

Thanks. That would explain the water I noticed on the floor this morning. I’ll take a look – after unplugging it, of course – to see if it is something that’s come loose or got blocked. There seemed to be brown water inside the machine near the outlet, but I put that down to tomato ketchup on the dishes!
