My machine appears to start by emptying then filling and then emptying again at which point warning lights 1 & 3 start flashing. Any ideas what 's causing this?

Ok so your dishwasher won't do anything... it justs sits there and "Hums" you can't make it respond to any controls, and the ONLY way to Stop it. is to unplug the unit, replugging back in it simply "Hums" again and will do nothing. Now this happens because, the STOP Button, is pressed and the "Door Opened", during the Wash Cycle. This should NOT be done. You shouldNEVER TURN IT OFF MID-CYCLE. you should instead, Simply, pull on the handle, to Open the door, the system will take care of everything, after, you close it,and pick up where it left off. The turning OFF, makes the machine "Think" that a New Cycle, is going to be done, before the old one is finished, and resets itself to do it all again. But it still has water, that's not meant to be there so it must dump it out. Now, the FIX. Take the Dishwasher, out, and tip over on it's side, tip to about a 45' angle. Water will come out from underneath, this is from a small "Overflow" reservoir. this reservoir has an "Anti-Flood" switch. The removing of this water will "Reset" this Switch, and allow the dishwasher to work again. So what happens, is this, when the STOP button is pressed Mid-Cycle, the machine must "Dump" whatever water is still in the machine, into the "Overflow Reservoir". This water then causes the Anti-flood switch to jam, and this stops the machine, until it is reset,by the above method.
Hi I have an IDL700. I think I have interrupted the cycle by opening the door and seeing hot water laying in the bottom. I thought that it had finished its wash. Now it wont start. I have tried to reset and I get all the beeps but no starting and no lights showing. The only light showing is the power light. Any suggestions Cheers
Hello. Yes. The timer on your machine is malfunctioning. You could have this repaired but, if the machine is over 3 years old a replacement is the way to go. The new machines use much less hot water and electricity, do a better job overall and are under warranty. Joe
This sounds like the "anti flood system" being triggered that puts the machine in pump out mode. The device is a polystireene float and a micro switch at the bottom of the machine. This device activats once it detects a water leak or spill. You need to check if any water is present at the bottom and clear the cause (leaky pipe or pipe clamp) and the water must be dried by hand before you switch on. A small leak will cause this device to trigger and it is a safety device for washers.
Hi Thanks for using FixYa. This issue can be either due to a faulty door latch or door lock switch which is not engaging itself. And, if the door latch will not engage the dishwasher will sense it as open door and will not start the cycle. The light also blinks when the dishwasher detects a no-fill condition. You’ll need to get access to the fill valve by removing left panel, look at back to see where valve is when you get to it remove one of the wires and set meter to ohms setting and put a lead on each tag on valve. The reading you should be about 3.6k ohm if you don’t get a reading then the valve is at fault. I'll also suggest you to check the detergent dispenser solenoid for this issue. Remove the door panel and see if there is a round item at the dispenser assembly with two wires attached to it. Put the dishwasher into a cycle and when the noise appears, gently press on the solenoid to see if that is where the noise is coming from. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance. Thanks Rylee
