ariston dishwasher AFA 250

[jibsy]

Our dishwasher starts a cycle but after a few minutes it stops and just buzzers. If left buzzing it makes the electric trip.

What could it be? Could it be the pump?

Thanks

does it fill with water

if so maybe motor faulty or a leak has occurred

I don't think so. When I reset it to start a cycle it sounds like the water starts for a few seconds and then it stops and just buzzes

check for a leak in the base is next

make sure to tip it backwards

but is best to take lid & side panels off instead , then you can just look

OK Thanks for your help.

I have just turned it on again and it starts OK but then when it goes to draw in the water to start the initial wash it just cuts out and buzzes. I don't think any water is getting through.

I will take it out and see!
