I have a 913T which I haven't used in 3 years. Last time it was used it worked fine. Call me stupid but there are only 2 people living here, hand washing seemed somewhat more practical. I am now in need of a hand operation and will need to use my 913T. Hubby turned it on tonight and it seems to be stuck on "draining the water" and we cannot get it to fill and wash....Any suggestions please?

Checked the back of the power module as suggested above and found a burnt connection. I soldered a new wire across the connection and it's back in business. I would have preferred replacing the power module, or at least the relay but dishes need doing!

Agree with above posts, stuck on wash, water only lukewarm. blown track on the control board - accessed on the front bottom left panel, behind the fascia. Easy fix, expensive problem solved

Same symptoms same model so I checked element as recommended, this had around 35ohms across element which is ok (230x230volts/1500watts). So I checked power supply and found a bad connect behind control card in base of unit which would not have been providing power to element. I recommend removing the circuit card to inspect the back of it. Re soldering this fixed the problem.

Glen, I to had the same dishwasher with the same problem. Let the dishwasher run for a while in the wash cycle, then open the door & see if the water is hot. If the water is not hot or only warm, the element will need replacing. It seems that the dishwasher will not progress to the next cycle until the water reaches a certain temperature. This fixed my washer & i hope it helps.
