My De Dietrich washing machine (model DVF300JU1) has stopped working.
Two days ago when my wife opened it, the dishes were clean, but (dirty) water remained at the bottom of the machine.
When I ran the rinse cycle, it emptied the dishwasher, and then stopped. I take it from this that the pump is working, and the drain is not blocked.
Now whenever I start it, in rinse cycle or wash cycle, the same thing happens; the pump runs for a few seconds, and I hear a little water going down the drain, and then it stops.
Can any kind washing-machine guru tell from those symptoms what the trouble is?
