Hi.
my dishwasher starts and I can hear it starting and water running (guessing it's the pump doing something). It's like two loud surpling noises, then it beeps once and stops. I've consulted the manual and checked all the hoses and the screen to the inlet hose. It looked clean, but I cleaned it anyway. Then vacuumed out some water from the inside (with a vauum pump for wine haha ) so the water has free passage. I tried to locate the floater, but I didn't find it. Anyhow I got a tip to fill the machine up with water before I started it. I did that and it then runs, even on a long cycle. I'm no expert, but I think that means it washes, drains the water I put in and then FILLS again for another wash and then goes through the complete cycle. The guy at Electrolux customer service said he thought it had to do with the pump. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be? Thought I'd ask before I start pulling it apart to check all the different electrical parts or calling the repairman, who's ridiculously expensive.

Check and make sure the dishwasher is actually draining the water and then refilling.

It may be the fill valve is faulty or it could be the control.

Can you please verify your model number.

Hi Sheila,
thannk you for your answer. Actually after three runs with manual fill it's working!
The model number is the one I stated in the first post. Maybe you don't have it (I live in Sweden)?
So I guess the problem is solved, but I'd really like to know what was wrong. The dishwasher had continous use before it just wouldn't fill one day. And then we checked all the hoses and the screen. So it's just weird, but I'm happy anyway.
