Dishwasher problems.

Ok peeps you fixed my washing machine last week :T now it's my dishwasher. Before I call someone out is there any common faults I could look to fix myself. This to me is possibly a terminal problem as the machine does nt seem to want to start up after selecting programmes, it's seems to start up then you hear it trying to fill with water for about 5 seconds then it beeps like its at the end of the cycle. Any ideas? Thanks Paul.

    Make and model? First check the inlet hose and filter.

    Could be anything, pump programmer, inlet valve etc etc

    Check the simple things as per above posts, then it's pot look for a diyer.

    Just look for the obvious, burnt connection, wet areas, corrosion, but take care with your new found enthusiasm, water and electrics remember;);)

    Could be the fill with water solenoid, blocked or not working.
    Most modern dishwashers will time out ( so if it does not fill ) it may switch off as a safeguard.
    There are more questions than answers :shhh: :silenced:
    WARNING ! May go silent for unfriendly replies

    I had a similar problem when my dishwasher was first installed and it turned out that the fuse on the plug had blown.
