Please help me fix my dishwasher!

It's a Kuppersbusch dishwasher, about 5-6 years old, it just beeps now, wont do anything.

It's been cleaned, switched off and on, nothing seems to do it.

Anyone have any ideas whats wrong with it? I'd prefer not to have to replace it!

Thanks in advance for any help :j

    Make sure theres no water in the base. If there is its likely the flood switch has operated which just stops the machine. As above decoding the error code wuld be a help.

    The 'start' light flashes and it makes an even on/off beep iyswim, not unlike a reverse warning on a van (though obviously not as loud!)

    I'm pretty sure OH has drained it,but I will ask him when I see him later!

    I don't have the manual for it, I think it got lost when OH moved in, and Ive not been able to find any troubleshooting instructions.

    A new control panel (that may not even fit, it doesn't look the same as ours) is over £200, which is more than Id spend on a 5/6 year old machine!

    Thanks guys for all your help.

    I have headed over to ebay and got an 18 month old dishwasher (kitchen refit casualty) for £45 which I figured will be less than the cost of a repair man/new control board.

    Think I will whack mine on ebay as spares/repair. Saves lugging it to the tip. If anyone wants a broken dishwasher speak up now :rotfl:

    Thanks again :)
