You have to turn the power off, clean that cesspool drain area thoroughly, dry all around the door seal, and tip dishwasher backwards. Then the flood switch resets and the E30 error disappeared for me.

Firstly if you haven't already you should probably check the flood switch with a multimeter, it may move freely but the contacts inside could be fused closed. Only the flood switch activates the drain full time otherwise it is directly controlled by the board so if its not the flood switch its probably the board. If the board has shorted you will likely see evidence of burnout on it.

Please clarify the model number. i am assuming you have a standard height single door dishwasher. It is likely the flood switch assembly itself is faulty and giving false results. Check the base of the dishwasher - item 95 in on page 10 in this manual. The microswitch could be faulty or the spring might be stuck.

Hi - unfortunately my good friend it cannot be reset as one would like quite easily anyhow... water has found its way to the base of the drwaers and have activated the flooding switch - one could pull it apart to dry it - tip the water out from the base but if the leaks not repaired you will have the same problem later and will be on-going.

 The flood switch is faulty.

 Excessive water has been added to a wash sub cycle, indicating leaking seal or siphoning.

hope this is useful tp you - let me know if you require further asspstance...

Please confirm if it is a single or a double drawer.

How do you know the flood switch is activated? Do you have a display on your dishwasher and what is it showing? If no display then which lights if any on the panel are on?

Motor will not run if flood switch is activated in the fisher paykel drawer dishwwasher.

Turn off the main power to the dishwasher.

I am assuming you are getting F1 error code flashing (if your drawers have LCD display) or the LEDs are flashing if you have intergrated drawers.

The flood switch is located at the base of the drawer tub. You will have to either extend the drawers out fully or take them out depending on the amount of water that would have collected at the base of the tubs. Get some towels and dry the base out. You may also need a hair dryer.

Once the flood switch dries off the drawer should work ok when you turn back the power.

The causes of the flood switch trriggering is either too much foam in detergent (use recommended detergent) or leak in water in or drain pipe.

Please remember to rate the solution if it helps or post a comment if not.

Hello!

Please check the manual to this dishwasher. Hope it will help!

Remove the bottom drawer by pressing in the tabs on either side of the drawer (bottom edge towards the front).

Dry out the compartment with towels and let air dry.

Have you checked that there is no water remaining in the base of the dishwasher? There is probably a float attached to a microswitch in the base of the machine. A cup of water left in the base of the washer could be enough to trip the flood activation switch.

You could try tilting the dishwasher through 45 degrees to see if there is any water left inside the base.
