Whirlpool ADP8000 F2 code

[paulives]

Hi can anyone tell me how to fix my dishwasher, it bleeps constantly and won't let me select a setting. F2 is flashing on the display, is there a switch or anything simple. The only thing I found on the net is it may have a water leak, where would I look for it, there is no water on the floor.
Thanks

You won't see any water on the floor. F2 means that there is an internal leak & it has activated the flood protection device (that all dishwashers have). When this happens the program is halted, an error code is generated, & the drain pump runs continuously. Unless you feel brave enough to attempt a DIY repair you need a service chappie

I took the kick plate off and on the left hand side there was a clear hose which seemed to have filled the bottom of the machine, I soaked it up with kitchen towel, I turned the machine on and pressed start it made a strange noise for a while but the code has gone and seems ok.
Do you think it will do it again or has that sorted it?
Cheers

Yes it will happen again
All you did was remove enough water to "de-activate" the anti flood device. There is a leak & it needs to be tracked down.

I have used it for over a week now and nothing has gone wrong, could it have made an error thinking there was a leak?
