OK, sweet, so the specs are not critical like many other electronic components, thanks loads.

Thank you Dave.
How do I go about finding the right reed switch please? I imagine you keep a bunch of them and rummage.
I have tried ‘reed’ing up on them, but there are a few eh?
I am assuming it is a Normally Open type looking at the images.
I can’t work out how to find the other specs. Is there a standard ‘Dishwasher’ reed switch?

I thought I would update this as the same thing happened again this year.
Although I think it was an F13 fault.
Not entirely sure what was happening, I couldn’t see if the water was flowing past or if the turbine was turning.
But, I know for sure that i couldn’t hear it.
So, I pulled off the connector, fiddled generally. No difference.
Got a magnet and the turbine spun fine and i heard the switch activating.
So, it seems like the magnet frees up either the switch or the wheel.
Do you have a best guess as to whether it is the switch or the wheel that is freeing up? I kind of assume it is the switch as it is clean water.

Having looked at the board online and I see you said that you solder in the reed switch, are they easy to order?
I am thinking I might just have one of those on hand as I imagine they won’t be too much money.

Thanks again for your help.

Great, thanks loads.
Yes, it mostly goes through the turbine, but sort of overflows at the top and dribbles down through the brown bit.

Anyway, thanks to your help, it has done a full cycle this morning.
All seems good.

Sorry, I decided to start a new thread which you are already helping me on.
Just in case these were archived or something.
I shall add the link in case someone finds this thread instead.
It sounded similar. But, mine was doing more like twenty fills before it started draining.
This one, upon rereading it, seems like it was draining much more often than mine.

Wonderful, thanks loads.
I fiddled about with it, got a lightly magnetised screwdriver and the wheel spun really freely.
Went to test continuity (didn’t really know what i was doing yet) plugged it all back in and started it up.
Seems like it is working now. I shall give it a full cycle in the morning.

Couple of questions if you don’t mind.
Does it always make that fast bleeping sound and i just don’t hear it with the side panel on?
Secondly, I don’t know how the water is meant to flow, but it kind of looks like it is overflowing at the top.
Not all going via the impeller (if that is what it is called) but going down the side.
Looks brown and grungy.
Should it look like this?
Looks a bit brown and gungy.

Brilliant, thanks loads.
Is it still likely to be that if I am not getting a fault code?
It just keeps doing it now.

I take it there is no way to test it?

I know this is an old post, but mine has just started doing the same thing.
Did you suss it?
