Hi Sue
I have a Beko 2341FW which does exactly the same - I have found that you have to more or less clean all of the food residue off plates, pans etc. before starting the dishwasher to ensure the dishes, glasses come out without being sticky. My one is just over two years old and now today, it just kept going (it was actually sticking) on and on - we have just realised the heating element has gone. The wash water is stone cold. Don't know if it is actually worth fixing as the call out charges are so expensive.
