I have a Siemens dishwasher with an Aqua stop facility which…

If the dishwasher is draining all the time then this is down to a water leak in the base which has activated the flood switch in there.

What you need to do is pull the dishwasher out and lie it on its back as this will allow the water to drain out from the base. So you will need a towel for that part.

Once the water is out the flood switch will reset itself and this will stop the pump from running all the time.

Then retry it and fingers crossed this is just a one off that caused it.

But if it does it again then theres a leak under there which you need to find and fix. For this you need to remove both side panels and then you can see the workings under there and check for any loose hoses.

Try that and see how it goes from there and let me know.

No worries thats fine.

You may find the water will dry up while your away. So when you come back just try it before doing the above as if its all dried up it may clear it that way.

No worries speak soon

Glad to hear its started working again.

With it being left why you was away the water will have dried itself up and cleared the fault.

But as you have tried it a few times and it seems to be working then fingers crossed it was a one off and it should be fine now. But just see how it goes and if it does play up again then just get back to me.
