Hi there. I am getting the 4 flash error from my dishwasher. There is no standing water in the machine and it was running in the same position for 4 years without a drainage problem.
When I start the machine, it drains any existing water, but does not seem to refill (even though 4 flash is a drain error). After about 3 mins the flashing light comes back on.

I have cleaned all the filters (including the black one on the bottom right, thoroughly but not damaging the membrane - That one was clogged with paper labels from the bottom of new plates).
The pressure pump clicks on and off freely with a light touch from a cotton bud. I checked with a multimeter and the pump seems to work properly.
I have poured boiling water down the filter as well (ref earlier posts from Sleepyhead), and left it unplugged for 30mins to see if that would reset it.

Does anyone have an idea for what I could check next? Could the paper have blocked anywhere else that I could clean?
Many thanks.
