Hi all,
I have owned this dishwasher for about 3 years and it has been fine - until now!
It does not seem to be filling up with enough water at the start of each program. It will fill up for 10 seconds or so and then the program will start fine, but I noticed that it sounded very noisy, as though it was emptying itself. If you open the door, there IS some water in the bottom, but clearly not enough for the machine to operate properly. I have temporarily solved the problem by adding an extra litre of water as soon as the pump starts (after the initial drain and fill). The machine then quietens down to it's usual (noisy!) self and runs perfectly. Well, until it gets to the next part of the cycle involving another fill, when I have to assist it again.
Any ideas what the problem is? I'm guessing there is some kind of float to get the water level? Could that be sticking or something? Water inlet into the machine is same as it always has been, so don't think there is a problem there.
