my anti flooding system that has tripped? Smeg dishwasher DWF 409SS?

Smeg Dishwasher Model no DWF 409 SS.

Lights Flashing showing that antiflooding system has tripped. How do I fix this

switch off at mains. then use sponge to soak up water inside dishwasher.

once reasonably dry switch back on and put on to shortest wash possible, whilst checking for leaks

I have the same problem - with the same dishwaher but have been told by Smeg that I will need an engineer. I have been able to reset it a number of times but it trips again once it starts to wash. The reason they trip is because there is a leak somewhere although there is no water leaking from mine that can be seen.

Apparently there is a small tank underneath with a float which holds water and when the float gets so high it trips the Anti-Flood system.
