It sound like a detergent cup issue (the door doesn't open at time)
A very simple test for it is to place a tablet on the bottom of the dishwasher for a full cycle and to see what happen to the tablet. In case the tablet will be dissolved :
- The detergent cup can become clogged with old dried detergent that prevents it from opening at time. Sometimes just cleaning the cup takes care of the problem.
- The detergent cup opened by a bi-metal switch or a wax motor located inside your dishwasher door(behind the detergent cup).
If cup's cleaning will not solve the problem, you should replace the bi-metal switch or the wax motor (depend which of them is used in your machine).
Good luck !
If the dishwasher's water flow doesn't automatically shut off, the float switch is faulty or the timer is stuck on "Fill" or the water inlet valve is stuck open.
To test the float switch, you'll need an inexpensive volt-ohm meter (or multi-tester).
1) Unplug the dishwasher.
2) Reach into the cabinet and lift the dome-shaped plastic float switch. If it doesn't lift, remove the plastic top from the stem, scrub the stem clean, and then replace the dome. If it moves up and down freely, go on to step 3.
3) Note which wires are attached to the float switch's terminals and, using small pieces of tape, label them for later reference.
4) Set the volt-ohm meter's dial to Rx100 and touch the two probes to the terminals. When you lift the float, the tester's needle should show an infinity reading and, when you let the float drop, the needle should show 0. If it doesn't, the switch is broken and will need replacement. Unscrew it from the tub and replace it.
The process for removing the lower front panel on a Hoover HED6612 dishwasher may vary depending on the specific model and year of your dishwasher. However, the following steps may be useful as a general guide:
Unplug the dishwasher from the power source and turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
Locate the clips or screws that hold the lower front panel in place. These are typically located at the bottom of the panel and may be hidden by a small cover.
Use a screwdriver or other appropriate tool to remove the clips or screws.
Gently pull the panel away from the dishwasher, making sure not to damage any wiring or connections.
Once the panel is removed, you will have access to the internal components of the dishwasher, such as the pump, motor, and water inlet valve.
To reattach the panel, simply align it with the dishwasher and secure it in place with the clips or screws.
It's important to consult the manual for the specific steps and precautions before performing any maintenance or repairs on your dishwasher.
You posted to the category 'Dishwashers', but this looks like it is an Australian Hoover carpet cleaner?
If both lights are on and blinking than they are indicating a jam with the brush roll of your SmartWash.
