pumps running constanatly but no water is going in I have checked all the pipes could it be the aquaflow ( anti flooding system) if so where is the magic switch located to de-activate
Not sure if this is the answer but I have a DW1710E Smeg Dishwasher and I found the reset button on mine. Whether this is the same as yours you will find out. Behind the plinth, your dishwasher has a steel panel. I removed this and exposed the wiring, the reset button is red and at the leftmost part of the machine, on the "ceiling" of the bottom on the machine (if that makes sense!). Remember to switch off first. Good Luck.
