Can anyone help. My Ariston AFA 250 does nothing if I switch it to wash, but when I put it on "reset" it beeps 4 times and the salt light starts flashing. I use tablets with descaler in them so it has never needed salt, although I used to put it in when it was new many years ago.
Thanks skye, unfortunately I got a new dishwasher before I read your answer, so I don't know if the door switch was the fault. I wish I'd waited a bit longer. Hopefully this will help someone else with the same problem.
