Ikea Dishwasher won't stop beeping

hatty1004

We moved into a property nearly 2 years ago that has an ikea kitchen (fitted by the old home owner in i believe 2021) and ikea Rengora dishwasher fitted. Everything has been fine untill the past few months where its started continually beeping through the cycle. 

Tried different cycles, have cleaned the filter/trap, run dishwasher cleaners through it, the cycle still runs fully, and the dishes are clean, its just really quite annoying. It'll run for a few minutes silently, then frankly have a beeping fit while still running. 

Any ideas please?

A quick search on Google points to the flood sensor. I suggest that you do a similar search and read up on the various comments.

I had this issue with that dishwasher - mine failed within the first year.  If you pull off the plinths, you'll find a tray at the bottom of the machine where water is collecting (and maybe a puddle underneath on the floor...).  When I got Electrolux out twice, their only way to repair was to mop up the water, and see that the machine resumed running.  When it leaked the third time I got Ikea to collect it and give me money back.

If the machine was bought in 2021, it should still be covered by the standard five year warranty.

The OP did not buy the dishwasher. Unlikely that the warranty transferred from the original purchaser.

We had an integrated Ikea dishwasher, about the same age as yours, that was very sensitive to debris in the filter, so it would flood occasionally.  Once the sensor in the base was triggered, it would continually beep, but it wouldn't run a cycle until the water underneath was cleared so I'm not sure if it sounds like yours is a flood issue.  It should stop if it detects water escaping.

It was fairly straightforward, although fiddly and annoying, to clean up any water and reset it, so you could look for instructions on how to do it, just in case it's that.  YouTube was helpful for me.

In the end, we just got rid of it and got a different brand (non-integrated, which fits in the exact same spot, just had to remove a bit of plinth).  I've had several dishwashers over the years - mostly cheaper brands - and found the Ikea one pretty terrible all round.  Although yours isn't old-old, it's old enough that I'd just cut my losses if it isn't a simple fix.

I had a Zanussi DW that flooded down at plinth level. There was a known problem with that machine and a kit was available to fix the issue. It was fitted under warranty.
I don't know who makes IKEA DWs, but it could be the same manufacturer as Zanussi/AEG etc. OP would need to find an approved repairer.
