Hygena Dishwasher met Fairy Liquid

[josski]

So basically as the subject says, a member of the family put some Fairy Liquid into the dishwasher in an attempt to clean a tough stain. (Hygena AHY8102)

Obviously this created a ridiculous amount of foam and currently the foam is somewhat less, barely any infact, but the machine wont drain and the wash cycle just goes on and on.

I've read a few other topics on this board that say to tip the machine backwards etc to drain but ours is built in to the sink unit and looks like it might be tricky to get out without an engineer of sorts. Is there any other way of treating this issue? Or could anyone perhaps suggest an effective way of removing the machine from the built in unit?

Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Some of these have access panels at the front bottom behind the kick strip.

If you remove these to gain access to the front base of the machine with the power off you can usually check to see if any water is in there and drain it out with a cloth

Generally the machine will drain and not do anything else though when the base is full though so is it the drain pump or recirculation pump running.

Have you tried cancelling and re-setting the machine.

Ours is an indesit rather than a hygena, but ours was integrated. I've just removed ours and it was very easy.

First I had to pull the kickboard off then I opened the door and undid two screws which went up into the worktop, then it pulled out.
