Ikea Whirlpool Dishwasher DWF B10 - Cycle never finishes!

[wiffola]

Hi All,

We have an Ikea Whirlpool DWF B10 Dishwasher.

Intermittently the dishwasher fails to get to the end of it's cycle. As an example, we left the house today with it on and 8 hours later that damn thing was still going. Not good when it was set on a 70c wash! This happens more than 50% of the time. Seems to happen less frequently when on a hotter cycle.

When we open the door to manually cancel the cycle it's hot in there and everything is freshly wet. You can hear it spraying water and spinning arms when it gets stuck in this cycle.

It seems to get stuck in a loop near the end of the full cycle.

You can trick it into finishing by interrupting it and setting it to a quick 30c wash.

There's no errors when it does this, it just seems to get stuck on a specific cycle.

I've done the diagnostic test but it gets through with no faults.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance

Obviously this is a while ago now, but did you ever solve this problem? We're having the same problem, and found this via a Google Search.

Any time the programme is set to 50 or above, the cycle never ends. I guess this is down to a faulty thermostat, which can't tell when the water gets to the correct temp?

I have run the diagnostic test - no errors reported.

Our seems to work fine now, we cleaned out the filter and did quite a few 70º washes which seemed to solve the problem. We also ran the diagnostic thing a few times which may have cleared some errors. Almost a year later and she's still working without fault.

Thanks for the reply - I've cleaned the filters (again, including the black one underneath) and run the diagnostic again. Still not working properly - but I'll keep trying..
