Whirlpool dishwasher F2 error code

gebbel

When I start a normal cycle I'm getting the above error after 5 minutes or so. I can reset it and start again, it may then complete the cycle but sometimes need a second reset. It will always eventually complete the cycle perfectly. An internet search suggests:

""F2 - Water Leakage
Water is in the bottom tray
Floater or float switch switches off the water valve and the electronic switches on the drain pump until pressure sensor reports that it is empty. There are numerous causes for this fault, but it all usually comes down to the fact that something, somewhere is leaking. To cure this you need to find the leak.""

However there is no leak that I can see. Should I just get someone out and spend a ton I don't really have, or is there any DIY hope to this?

PS the machine is an ADP model, 8 years old with moderate use.

tilt it forward as much as you can and if water appears from under it this will have caused the problem, if it reoccurs you then definitely have a leak or maybe a flow meter that's faulty
