Hi disaster!!!!
Wife is away and the dishwasher has packed up, HELP!!!!
An error 4 has been displayed which apparently means overfill
When I turn the dishwasher on the thing just trys to empty itself. I let the thing get quite bogged up with foodstuff and have now removed them to no avail.
Please help

Ain’t no ADP600 that I can find………
Assuming that this is a UK machine, F4 is no drain detected in the time allowed. If the machine isn’t draining, you may have a blockage in the drain pump or sink spigot (if applicable). If it is draining, the Water Level Indicator (WLI) may be full of fatty deposits and not re-setting. This is the black grid in the sump housing under the filters. Lots of hot water and a good scrubbing with an old toothbrush may clear it – if it doesn’t, it’s a twist fit from underneath, which will allow you full access. The light-action microswitch may have failed, in which case you’ll need a replacement unit.
More sophisticated units use an optical unit -again a good scrub of the probes in the sump may restore function, if it doesn’t, a new unit will be required.
Power off if fixing this yourself.

Yup, the water is in the tray under the machine and the flood protection system has tripped.
Plug out, towels down, tip the machine to one side to drain. It should then re-set. If it does it again, find the leak.
Do not be tempted to spend any real money on it, the build quality is just awful and the elctronics are madly unreliable. Oh, and they leak. Regularly.
Good luck,
