Thanks again Dave,

I’ve uploaded an album here. In the final image, I circled in red the initial part that he replaced, he also replaced, on the second visit, one of the brown cylindrical capacitors(?), the one on the far left of the image with the brown top, and the fuse that blue (which he fashioned from spit and sawdust, lol)

Thanks for the reply. The guy who replaced the initial problem, and then the fuse and capacitor did check the board, and, as I say, I checked every single path on the PCB for continuity.

But, I can take a picture of the board as it is now and post it here if that’s helpful?

Thanks again

Hi again. I removed the plinth and ran the dishwasher. It began leaking pretty heavily straight away, from the back of the dishwasher when the pump engaged, and it kept leaking throughout. additionally, there’s a bead of water at the lowest point of the inlet hose.

Unfortunately, it’s a crappy dishwasher, and the access panel seems to be one solid piece that goes all the way around the dishwasher, with no access panel. Also the installation seems pretty bad, so there;s no real way to pull the dishwasher out, as the hoses etc are too short.

I’d be grateful for any ideas or advice on how I can get in there to identify the cause and fix it.

Unfortunately, I can’t afford to get a repair guy out, even to just have a look

it’s a VH1772J Brandt

Thanks for all the help

Thanks again. It has started working again, so I presume it’s a small amount of water that is either leaking our slowly or evaporating. Any tips on how I can locate and repair the source of the leak? I don’t want to run it again until I do because at best I’ll have it our of action agin for a few days, and at worst I’ll cause permanent damage

As I said, the plumbing here sucks, and the drains get air-locked, so sometimes the dishwasher drain pipe overflows. Is it likely to be related to that, or that’s just a coincidence and it’s more likely to be internal?

Thanks so much for your reply. Is there any specific way to drain it? Should I just bail water out from the drain pan, via the main dish compartment?
