My SMEG integrated slimline dishwasher has stopped working - when the power is on the lights come on on the functions, but when a programme is selected and the door closed, it fails to operate. It starts to make a noise as though trying to operate, but no water comes through and it won't start> Any suggestions please?

I just got the solution to this problem- Their is an anti leak thing at the bottom of your dishwasher. its behind the panel between the floor and the dishwasher. Its a big black tray.. It fills up with water and you need to drain it with a sponge to get the dishwasher to work again. The dishwasher wont work until it is drained. Sorry my description is rubbish hopefully you get it.
