His description of the amount of water circulating "you can just witness some feeble jets of water coming from the washing arms, too feebly to make them rotate" exactly accords with what I observe in my washer.
I don't know of a mechanism which would allow, say, 10% of the fill to happen, rather than either 0% or 100%. Mine exhibits the symptoms above with 0%.

"On a rinse cycle it seems to work okay", so water is added later, just like mine.
Mine isn't scaled up. I took it out and checked. It also allows the normal amount of water in for the rinse cycles.
I'm sure it doesn't have "smart scale" that prevents wash water entering but allows rinse water.
I don't care what you believe - that's what happens.

I've taken the solenoid out and examined it. No scale.
However often you say that, the evidence is otherwise.
Although there's a third possibility, which is that the operation I observe is the result of a control fault. If so, how do I cure that fault.
Unlikely. It was bought locally by a high-end builder 14 years ago, albeit branded Siemens.

But given that later in the cycle his machine let rinse water in, I suspect we can conclude it's not a blocked valve.

It lets none in - have you forgotten so soon that I've observed the flow in the transparent pipes in the side of the washer.
First use (wash) no flow. Second use (first rinse) full flow.
That doesn't match your diagnosis.

His reported symptoms (which you freely admit are rare enough not to show up in Internet searches, so that people can give the dishwasher-DIY equivalent of the massively unhelpful "have you tried turning it on" and "why don't you re-install Windows) are exactly the same as mine.

Psychologists call that "morroring"

A typo; should have said "mirroring".

No, it's fact; but a bit off topic.
As it's Xmas, you can have the last word, as long as it's not derogatory.

Is "f*ck you" non-derogatory?

That explains a lot.
It does, because you were given an opportunity to 'stop digging', and threw it away.

Why not have another try - reply in a conciliatory fashion.

Except I haven't. Although it's been a useful learning experience that certain posters use exaggerated language which leads others such as myself to think they are being critical. But then they [you] admit it's in effect just routine banter.

When you consider that the dishwasher has an intermittent fault, then many odd things might happen.
In message , at 21:34:07 on Tue, 30 Dec 2014, Rod Speed remarked:
It was completely reproducible until I emptied the 'flood detecting' cavity in the chassis. After that it started working.
What I should do is go back and see whether there's any water in that cavity now. But rolling around on the kitchen floor (to get access to the built-in washer) during the Xmas holidays is not very high up my priority list.

Did you miss my posting earlier today which said it happened again recently?
In message , at 07:49:42 on Wed, 31 Dec 2014, Rod Speed remarked:
I don't know where that earlier posting ended up, but what I said was that the fault had re-occurred a couple of days ago, just once, but not again since then.
