Hello! Thanks for your reply. I tried putting it backwards and no water came out. So I shook it and still no water. I tried switching it on and it started to work! Bizarre. So I switched it off during mid-cycle and tried to start it again. But it was just the drain pump making a noise and it never started up.
I shook the drain pipe to see if it was clogged or something. and switched it on while the door was open to see if anything would happend and I saw water drain way... When I shut the door again it started to work... So I think maybe its something to do with the drainage. It seem intermittent. I've given up on it for this evening but I wonder if this has solved the problem. Do I have to have the door open when it drains???!!!
P.s. this is the first dishwasher I've owned, it came with the house I've just moved into...
