My dishwasher beeps and shows F1and will not stop?

The Model of my Fisher Paykel is Nautilus 87605 or MSM 413291 F.P 920, the dishwasher shows F1 and beeps has not been washing clean for a while, I think it might be a blockage in the pipe. What to do.
Many thanks.

Wrong it is not a blockage. F1 means that there is water leaking down under & the flood switch has activated that is why you can hear the drain pump running continuously. You have to turn off power then remove the service panel below the door & the 2nd panel behind it. Then through the access hole you can get in with a sponge & a hairdryer to completely dry the bottom tray. You will then need to find out how the water got in there. It must have a leak somewhere. One common cause of leaks is the top basket rollers. Use a screwdriver & check that they are all tight. Once it is dry down under the F1 will go away.
