We have a Gaggenau 915-710 dishwasher which just suddenly stopped working.
Specifically, there is about an inch of water in the bottom of the tub. Whenever the door is closed, the motor (pump?) hums for about a second and in that short time a squirt or two of water is ejected into the drain hose (which I can feel entering the disposer). Then the machine goes dead -- no noise, no action, no lights.
I tried cleaning out the filters (coarse and microfilters) and looking for any caught pieces.
Clearly, there is power to the machine. Also, it does start for a second and pushing and jiggling the door doesn't change the behavior so I don't think it is the door switch.
Also, nothing lights on the front panel (there is usually a 2 digit LED display) but it may just not have enough time to start up.
Any suggestions on what might be going wrong and how to troubleshoot?
Thanks
