This is an e2 fault, the dishwasher is made by Smeg. You can easily sort the problem out by putting 2 plastic cable ties together, so that you have in effect a long one, and remove the cylinder filter and main metal base filter (no tools required, all done inside wash chamber).
Next, look for black rubber flap in sump area, open or remove the flap, insert the cable tie (square end first) all the way to the end and vigorously move back and forward and a load of gunk will come out and break up.
When you restart the machine, hey presto, it works!
In severe cases, the side fill chamber would need replacing but I find the above method works 90 percent of the time!
Just a note on calibration,
In a previous firm, we ordered 2 pat testers, and for some reason were obliged to have them calibrated, despite being new. This also delayed delivery to us as the supplier sent them to a calibration company after they had received them from the manufacturer. I recall a hefty extra charge for this. We received the testers and 2 certificates of calibration eventually.
Anyway, When we came to use them, one worked fine, the other always showed a fault regardless.
We sent the faulty one back and the manufacturer told us that the wrong resistor had been fitted at the factory, so obviously it was wildly out of calibration
So my question is, what did the calibration company do for the £65 (I think) charge?
Obviously just slapped a sticker on the unit and printed a certificate. Thats good money isn’t it!
