Machine does not work after starting the program. Lights flash and nothing happens. Seems to be a common problem with many who have written in !! Not many answers to the problem. Spoken to MFI who happen to be main suppliers - I have inherited the machine unfortunately and have no paper work regarding purchase. As a result not getting much help. If it is the motherboard / pcb timer gone then the fixing will cost appx £250 !! Is it worth - might as well chuck the bl**dy thing out and buy something new wit a warranty ?? - Younus

Hi,
have you tried to reset the dishwasher as mentioned in other posts.........instructions below. I hope this helps.

Turn off at the power button and leave for 10 seconds.
Turn on power button and press the program button 4 times
I found that you had to be very quick pressing the program button four times after powering up. You know you've hit it right when then two outer lights stay lit.
Then push the program button once.
Then power off (without closing the door).
Wait 15 seconds then power up and the reset should have taken place
