Reading the stages of a dishwasher programme
Filling, washing, draining or drying? A dishwasher can stop at different points in its programme.

Filling, washing, draining or drying?
A dishwasher can stop at different points in its programme. The sound of water arriving is different from the circulating wash, and water left at the end is different from moisture on the dishes. Tell us which stage appears to be affected and whether the programme finishes.
Keep observations practical
Record the selected programme, any display code and whether the fault affects every load. Do not pull a fitted dishwasher out or open internal covers. If it leaks, stop using it and keep away from wet electrical connections.
Keep your details together.
Choose the relevant guide, then take your model and symptom into the enquiry.
Before your appointment
Mention a furniture door, narrow opening or shared cupboard access. Leave the unit installed.

If your dishwasher leaves water, dirty plates, or an error code, start by noting what happens. Tell us whether it fills, washes, drains, and finishes the programme. Photograph the model label at the door edge where accessible. If water leaks, stop using the machine.
