    Hi guys

    I have ADP4508 2 yrs old dishwasher
    and 2 weeks ago (of course very convenient after warranty expired) it stopped to work.
    I can turn on ANY program, it runs for 3-4 minutes and then power goes off.
    Any idea what problem it can be? pump? power? fuse?

    help greatly appreciated.
    Thx

    Check the water feed.

    it pumps water.
    I was thinking maybe its heat fuse?

    You will hear the pump extracting water from the base of the machine at the start of any wash cycle. However, the dishwasher will stop shortly after running any wash program if the mains water feed does not have enough pressure into the machine.

    Have you pulled the dishwasher out and checked the water feed going into it for sufficient water flow and checked for any possible cause of blockage to inlet water flow - such as a kink in the pipe, debris in the built-in inlet connection filter, or a simple case of someone having turned the water valve or tap to the off position?

    after initial pump out stage it should then fill to correct level which is controlled by a water flow meter and proceed to wash and heat at a rising temp.main wash pump failure on these are ten a penny closely followed by the flow meter. if its filling the pump would be the first to check for wear
