Dishwasher salt light started staying on.

5 year old dishwasher. Working fine (for now). As usual salt light came on (usually every 3 months). Topped up salt (as usual). Normally it takes a wash to get the light off. However this time the lights been on for 5 washes. A quick google suggests the lights float-activated, and the float can get scummy ? I tried pouring boiling water into the reservoir and then topping up again. Still no joy. Anyone had similar ?

SW Brum has ridiculously soft water. Not a hint of scale on our kettle after 15 years use.

Returning to the OP, our salt light took 3 weeks to go off after buying the dishwasher (and we've had 3 in 3 months ..)
