Hotpoint diswasher fdl570

Last night my dishwasher did not completely empty and the lights were flashing. My dishwasher is only about 2 years old, but out of guarantee. I have made sure there is no blockage on the outlet pipe and the water runs out when the pipe is lowered down to the floor. I have tried turning the dishwasher off and then i am able to set the dishwasher up again, but after a minute or so, the lights start flashing again. Has anybody else had this problem and if so how do i fix it. I did not really want to call out an expert, as this would probably cost a small fortune.

Thanks

we had this problem when something was broken inside, it was a sensor that thought there was too much water in the machine and as a safety cut out it wouldn't start the machine as it 'thought' there was a risk of flooding. So may be the same, a faulty sensor?

We got ours fixed for £80

Check the manual and it may tell you what diagnostic code the flashing lights are indicating.

I cannot find anything in the manual about flashing lights, but i dont mind paying for an engineer if it is a major problem. Any body know any good repairers.
