Hotpoint dishwasher number 5 flashing & cycle ends after say 10 minutes

[ipbr21054]

Ive moved into a new place & have an issue with the dishwasher which is the integrated type.
I switched in on then selected programme 4 then pressed start & closed the door.
First thing i hear is it draining.
I can then hear is filling with water.
I go about unpacking but 10 minutes later i think thats quiet.
I open the door & i see a number 5 & the on / off button is flashing.

The paperwork mentions unable to drain BUT first thing i hear is it draing & no water in bottom of machine if that's a true reason as to why its flashing so it did ddrain.
Even when i put 2 jugs of water in it drains.

I did the same again & selected other programmes but the same thing.
I removed the metal plate & i see water.
I remove the plastic cylinder filter & its clean but ran it under the tap anyway.
I also switched machine off & also off at the wall for 30 minutes to see if that might clear an error etc.

I run another cycle & grab the outlet pipe that connects to the pipework under the sink & can feel it moving etc as water is draining.

Any idea whats going on please.
The cleaning table i put in it is untouched & cups on top shelf are dry.
The place im in is 2 years old so i would think this then is also 2 years old.


Thanks

A quick internet search suggests a few things:

A blocked drain, hose or trap, so the water can’t drain away

A pressure sensor issue - eg broken

I would also check the inlet to the machine, make sure it can actually fill with water

Hi,
If the machine has no water in it does that then mean its draining away ?

Will need to look at what the pressure sensor is.

The hose is right behind the unit so that might be hard.
If i leave it on for say 5 minutes & open the door water should be in the bottom ?

Not necessarily, it might not be filling

Yes.

OK,
Ive removed the rear wooden part & i can see the pipe.
I start a cycle & hold the pipe higher & can feel hear the water being emptied no problem.

I hear the machine hum for a while so i open the door.
Its humming but no water.
Maybe humming is no water in machine.
I did hear it filling at the start but its empty inside.

All water taps are in the on position.

Photo shows pipe in question but its at least a foot too long i would say as i was able to pull out the excess & hold it up.

Would it help if i put a washing up bowl of water in there to see if it would continue the cycle or would that just drain out

That hose seems poorly installed, but ultimately it sounds like it’s not filling

I’m not sure I understand, do you mean inside the dishwasher?

If the issue is filling and me out a bowl of water in there as a test I’m thinking the machine might do a cycle now it’s got water ?
