We have an issue with our dishwasher, when switching it on any cycle it continuously beeps and the start light flashes continuously as well, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to the beeps or flashes. I have removed the drop in filter cleaned it and replaced it, the black filter grid behind this seems to be clear but I can't get it out of the machine to be sure. Please can anyone ?

Continuous flashing is error code F1. Failure of the temperature sensor, NTC. Its a twist fit from the underside of the machine.
Hold the start button in for a few seconds to reset the machine, pour a kettle of hot water into the sump and try it again.

Nice one Sleepyhead, I have poured a kettle full of hot water into the bottom of the machine as you suggested and it seems to working fine. Do you think that the temperature sensor maybe on its way out anyway and would it be worthwhile changing it as i have the machine out of its usual position ? Or do you think it will be fine ?
Many thanks for your help so far.

p.s. good luck with the house move.

The temperature sensors are quite fickle on these machines. If the ambient temperature drops too low during the night they need to be warmed up before they start working again (most common cause of the fault). Pouring hot water onto them seems to work in a lot of cases, there are a few that have come back again and have had to be replaced. Just a case of try it and see.
Aye those F1 errors are a bloody nightmare...
Few hot kettles of water down the sump and we were right as rain...
Obviously....
lol Only kidding.. Had no idea what it was till I read this...
Cheers..
Saved me a pricey call out fee...

PS... If you lose your clicky things that hold your drawers in.. Afew red wall plugs slotted thru the holes do the trick a treat!
and yes.. I do own the rights to that idea!
