Hello again folks -
My BOSCH SGV53E33GB dishwasher is just under two years old and is used about once a week.
It's just developed a fault whereby, as soon as a wash programme is activated, it continually cycles filling with water, then pumping it all out, then filling again, then pumping it all out over and over again every 20-30 seconds.
The "check water supply" light is lit, but water is definitely entering the machine. I've checked hose filters and the main dishwasher outlet filter in the bed of the machine and all is clear.
I've tried resetting the machine (by holding down two of the wash cycle buttons, as per the instructions) and the "check water supply" light goes off, but then comes on again when the machine is next run (and the fill/empty cylce starts up again).
I've tried turning the machine off at the mains.
I've tried different wash and pre-wash cycles.
If I open the door once the machine has filled and just before it starts to empty, I can lift the float by hand to 'manually' engage the electric pump and empty the machine (even with the door open, which I thought was weird).
The machine seems to fill as normal, so I do not believe there is a problem with the supply. I'm guessing the float in the bed of the machine tells the machine to stop filling with water, but instead of just turning off the water supply and starting the wash cycle, something is telling the machine to empty out. Once a certain amout of water is pumped out, it starts filling again and the whole cycle repeats.
I hope that all makes sense - I know very little about plumbing and even less about dishwashers..!
Any suggestions would be very much apppreciated.
Thanks in anticipation!
