Miele G692-3 plus inlet/drain light flashing when filling

[Pudgyfeet]

When I try to start the wash cycle, the dishwasher starts to fill with water, then the inlet/drain light flashes. It then fills a little more, and the inlet/drain light flashes again. This happens probably 6-8 times until it stops altogether with the inlet/drain light flashing constantly. The water has filled the bottom of the dishwasher but the cycle will not commence.

If I turn it on and off agin, the water will drain from the bottom before the machine tries to start the wash cycle again and the same problem occurs when it tries to fill with water.

I’ve rinsed the water inlet filter. I’ve cleaned the drain pump and non return valve.

This machine is 10 years old. It was repaired 12 months ago and a completely new electronic panel was installed.

Can anyone tell me what the likely problem is and is there something else I can do myself?

Thanks

a lot of machines sense te water coming it by using a revoling wheel with a small magnet on it. this magnet is sensed by a reed switch. as the water flows in the wheel spins and the reed opens and closes. this allows the board to count as the water fills to get it to the correct level
if yours has this system the reed switches fail causing this fault.
most of the time you can find a reed switch to solder in for around £1 to avoid miele spare prices
