Dishawasher as above has started flashing the WASH and HEAT lights together after failing somewhere towards the end of the cycle. It fills Ok, heats,
washes and seem to drain OK.
I suspect a rinse issue, but don't see wht it should fail there?
Despite a googling cant find this problem.
Is anyone intimate with these?
Tut tut! Have you been putting your engine parts in this again?
I would say Pump is blocked and it cannot drain.
Check the central drain. Take the filter out and see if you can manually remove the obstruction.
A damn hot empty wash may budge it if it's food based. Might be a wrapper or other small thing that won't dissolve.
Similar problem with mine
Take the filter out, pour several litres of boiling water and bleach down the filter hole, wait 30 minutes.
Put the machine on a intensive cycle.
Worked for me.
Got this advice from my friendly dishwasher repair man.

Pouring degreaser and boiling water down the hole now
back in my youth i used to do comet home delivery. this particular brand was nick named indershit on account of us dropping them off on monday
morning and going back to replace them any day between tuesday and friday. i do recall one poor old lady having 3 changed before she picked a
different make.
the hardest part of the job was not calling the customers shiny new applicance indershit infront of them lol.
on the plus side their customer service dep was good because they was used to so many coming back.
I had simaliar problem, would flash E5 error, cant empty, but there would be no water in as i could hear it drain. There is a diaphram switch that is operated by water pressue when water is in/out. Waht happens on mine every so often is some water get stuck in the diapram so it thinks thereis water in the machine even though it has all been drained out. On mine you drop the front panel off below the door and you can see a disc (looks a bit like a fule pressure reg) remove the pipe that runs to it and blow to remove any water also check suck/blow on the diaphram. hope this helps.
Had similar problem with out indesit and it started near the end of the cycle and kept progressing untill it would fill and stop right away.
Apparently the drain hose was ruptured, very small leak at first and big hole later, so whenever it started filling it was dripping out the hose
untill it broke completely. As it was integrated in the kitchen we didn't see the water, it was standing under the cupboards.
Apparently dishwashers have a open system, ie, if you leave the hose lying on the ground it will just pour the filling water out the drain hose. No
valve or anything in between. Just a pump to get it high enough to get out.
Looks like it has healed itself now after the swarfega treatment.
No error display on this one,, just secret codes through the flashing of the panel lights
