Three flashes – if three continuous flashes at the end of the running programme occur you need to get in touch with an engineer Fixing these faults may take a bit longer, involve more steps or require the removal of some panels or parts within the machine.

Appliances should be switched off and disconnected from the mains when undertaking any type of repair and this is extremely important here.Some basic equipment like different types of screwdrivers or pliers might be required, but most homes have these common DIY tools already.

Capacity: 13 place settings: Capacity is based on 'IEC' standard place settings. This standard allows you to compare the capacity of dishwashers using a common measure The Series 20 AirDry dishwasher automatically opens the door in the final part of the cycle, letting fresh air inside – performing three times better than our closed-door systems. Automatic drying, with no extra effort from you. Just unload when it suits your schedule.
