Whirlpool Dishwasher Fault

LostInDharma

Hi,

Anyone help with this,

F4. 4 Flashes. Draining failure. Drain pump, control board OWI or water indicator defect.

I have checked the pipes and water, it fills, but when it starts to drain after the first rinse stage it beeps and does not continue.

When I open it all the water is drained, so Im thinking its not the pump but I don't know.

Any tips ?

Thanks

pressure switch can get stuck on these - what happens is when it fills it switches over - when it drains it fails to switch back to the rest position in a given time period . board reads this and goes to alarm mode - check pressure switch (water level indicator)

I owe you a pint mate !

I basically took all the pipes going to the pump off and cleaned them and double checked all the contacts. Plus cleaned out the water exist pipe.

All working good again !!

Thanks !!!

EDIT: Spoke too soon
Now my fault is reading TWO flashes

two flashes is water leakage - you might have left a hose slightly undone or pinched -
