Whirlpool dishwasher fault - not heating up

[Tommytucker1975]

Just moved in to new house and has a Whirlpool ADG7550 integrated dishwasher. Ran it a couple of times now with the same problem each time - will run through its cycle (whichever program is chosen) then at end after final pump out and door is open - flashing start light and the pre wash program highlighted. Some soapy water still remaining in bottom of machine and appears to be cold - no steam escaping when door is opened. Any advice? Have no idea about these things.

Cheers

Someone has answered this question on a different website...

Not sure this helps though?

Most likely is that the base is flooded, it sounds like it has overfilled which can happen when clogged up with grease and the like. isolate from mains and then take off the front panel at bottom. Be careful of the drip tray once removed its like a razor. If it is flooded dry it out and try it again, if you have removed the blockage it may be ok, if not motor hose is a likely culprit.

Remember to unplug it!..."

Just finished night shift and was going to try out Crystalclear's advice, turned on the washer and getting what I think is an F3 fault? 3 flashes then a pause then 3 flashes etc. Heating system defect according to service manual. Is this an easy/cheap DIY fix or is it a call out job? If it's pricey I'd rather just buy new one
