Turned my dishwasher on at bedtime & woke at 4.00am to a Beep,beep,beep....and all the lights flashing together. Opened the door & it was very hot inside. It sounds like it either isn't getting any water or it is trying to pump out. I have checked the water inlet & filter. I have unplugged it from the wall socket & left it for 15mins & retried, but it is still the same. The booklet is not at all helpful in the troubleshooting section and does not mention what flashing lights etc, could mean. HELP!

The triggering of the anti flood system (polystyrene float and micro switch at the base of washer) due to water leak or spill (this device causes the washer to stop until the leak is cleared. This often happens if you try to use washing up liquid instead of a dishwasher tablet. You need to open up the base, mop up the water, the float will go down and the machine will work again :)
