With reference my previous fault, whilst investigating my defect I put the dishwasher on its side. I found a tube full of sludge so I gave it a clean. Started the dishwasher and it appeared to work ok. Later on the same problem came back. I reckion that I had dislodged something during moving the dishwasher. I put the dishwasher back on its side. I found a component with a few tubes going into it some sort of diaphragm which was connected to the drain line. I removed this component and found it full of sludge and old foodstuff. I cleaned this out and refitted. The dishwasher now works as good as new( I've had it now for over 7 years). Any faults were the dishwasher programme does not move on I would suggest u look for blockages in the filters or elsewhere. I've had this type of fault with my washing machine before where I normally found an old sock trapped in the drain filter line. Hope this can help anyone and save expensive call outs.
