I've checked the water inlet valve but there are no blockages anywhere. If I put water in the machine it drains, if I put in water after the drain cycle it will pump through the machine, so it doesn't seem to be a pump problem. The hose is fine and the dishwasher worked perfectly until a few days ago.

I'm thinking of replacing the inlet valve in case it's the solenoid, but I'm not sure whether that's a sensible thing to do, or if there's anything else I should try before spending money?

Hi Bernadette,

It sounds like this is your problem, however the only way to test is to replace the valve. We have these available for about £13.00. email for details:
