Re: Brandt VF400JU1 wont start – how to reset?
Okay, so it started working again, briefly for a couple of days. Now it’s stopped again – in a slightly different way. It just fills, drains and then does nothing each time we start it.
So, we’ve ordered a Bosch to replace it and will Freecycle the Brandt (or skip it). So one more question… I need to remove the kitchen door, how do I tell which screws to undo? Or shall I just unscrew them all?
Re: Brandt VF400JU1 wont start – how to reset?
Hi,
Any other ideas on this? Our dishwasher eventually started working again after about 7-10 days, but since February this problem has happened at least twice more. It’s just happened again today.
I’ve taken off the kickplate and removed the lower front panel below the door, but can’t see any obvious trip tray or other place that I can clear of water.
I still see the cryptic flashing lights on the door and pressing the right-most button quickly in different patterns changes the way they flash, but none seem to force the machine to spring into life and start working.
I’d really appreciate any help here. It’s very frustrating as there seems to be no real problem with the machine, except that it just stops and fails to drain every couple of months, after which we have to live without a dishwasher for week or two until it starts working again. I’m sure there must be a way to force it to drain and start working?!
Any help really appreciated – and if you need any more information to help me figure out what’s going on (or photos of the machine itself) please let me know.
Thanks,
Mark
Re: Brandt VF400JU1 wont start – how to reset?
Great suggestion, that could definitely be it. I’ve got as much water out from the inside of the machine as possible with a sponge.
Unfortunately the kick-board is sealed to the kitchen floor which makes it very difficult to get at/under the machine. I guess if we leave it a couple of days the water should evaporate off and it might sort itself out.
