I would suggest a recall to your engineer, or a browse through repairs@ and Directories for a UKW engineer in your area.

Penguin, Thanks for the advice.
Infact last night after the machine went into antiflood mode I looked closely at the matrix and realised that the lower part had some debris/sludge in it. Watching the water flow after I reset the machine, it did not seem to be obstructing the flow. But then after a few minutes it was anti flood time again……

So I removed the matrix, dismantled its side cover panel found that all the channels are almost totally inaccessable for cleaning. The solution was very hot water from the kettle which dissolved and removed almost all the mess, by generally pouring and shaking through the matrix.

I ran a wash cycle after that and it completed without going into anti flood mode. So with any luck that is problem solved.

I am assuming that the dishwasher cleaner/degreasers are fairly ineffective in this area.
