    4 flashes indicates a draining failure - check pump

    if it goes off after 30 secs the drain down cycle is not completing . before a dishwasher takes in water it performs a drain down . along the sequence is a pressure switch , this or tubes connected to it could be partially blocked . you will have to investigate that .
    in the service manual 4 flashes is draining failure , the problem lies in the drain circuit , pump, pressure switch and so on

    Thanks anuprising for your help. how do I get at the pressure switch? Is it to the side or front? Will have a go when I get home from work.


    Problem solved and working. Re-booted after about 1min and re-started. Many thanks anuprising!

    If I recall correctly I unplugged the machine completely for about a minute. This was after cleaning the filters. The 4 flashes continued after re-booting but I held the "on" button for maybe 10 secs. and the pump came on and emptied fine.
    No problem since.
    Hope it helps.
