    What does it mean, and what can i do. I have already fixed the heating problem on the pcb before a few months ago. Now this problem has come up.

    Flood protection is active… is what the booklet says.

    It means that water has leaked into the undertray of the machine and the float switch has been tripped. Drain it and the machine will work. However, you will need to find the leak…… Start at what was done last – the tube heater. Clips on correctly? No other hoses disturbed? Also check where the pipe for the upper spray feed joins the tub on the side – it weeps quite regularly.

    Power off for anything other than observation, please.

    Thanks for that. Got the water out, but couldn’t find a leak. But did find a narrow pipe leading to a trough. Could this be an overflow? And this eventually fill the tray?
