I’ll try that in a bit. Although the water pressure doesnt seem any different on the kitchen tap and the dishwasher feed is in the same line and a fe winches apart from that.

I tried using the dishwasher today and it started fine. The cycle was about 1.5 hours long. It worked fine for 40 minutes or so and then during one of the water intakes it came up with F13 and just emptied whatever was left and stopped. I put it on again, straight away on the same cycle (without a detergent tablet in) and it completed the cycle with no F13 error at all.

Could this be a faulty fill sensor? If that is the case would you happen to have any idea how much it would cost to fix? If it is up to £200 I dont mind fixing it but any more than that, I might as well buy a new dishwasher.

The water pressure has been ok in our area and the dishwasher has worked fine for 6 years. The only thing I can think of is that the new pipework that has been fitted in the bathroom upstairs may have somehow affected the water pressure on the dishwasher?

Would it help if I tried to connect the dishwasher to the hot water tap instead?

if the fill sensor does not detect enough water in a given time it faults out

Dave

Thank you Dave. Is there anything that I can do to sort it out or does it need a new fill sensor?
