How can i fix E3 error on Belling IDW601 dishwasher?

My machine (IDW601) runs for 5-10 minutes and beeps as though the cycle is complete. However it displays the error code E3 and the water in the machine is cold. Belling customer care response was that an engineer is required to repair possible blockage? I have read that this error can be reset but i dont know how to. Any help. Please!

Hello, I had a belling dishwasher showing an E3 error, This cause me a lot of trouble but i got their in the end. First i put a new thermostat price £2.00 but no good then a new heating element price £40.00 and still no good then i discover the salt was turned off. Turned it on and kept run it 3 or 4 times and now working fine. I think their was a blockage in a pipe and the water was not pumping around the heat element + the salt light was on and it was full off salt. the salt breaks up the food in the water. Hope this is helpfull and try the cheap way out first.
