Hi,
The most likely reason is the float switch (anti-flood protection system) has been tripped and the noise you can hear is the drain pump running continuously despite the washer being empty. If this noise continues even with the door open, it's definitely the float switch. This could be a faulty switch, a stuck float, or water may have leaked into the bottom of the machine below the tub.
It would help if you could specify a model number as the flood-protection components vary between models. If you don't know the model number, you should be able to find it laser-etched at the top of the stainless-steel inner door.
Hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please specify a model number and whether the washer seems to be "running" with the door open.
Regards,

same problem with model SHV57C03UC/46, how do you check the float switch?
I seem to have a similar problem, I've posted here:http://www.fixya.com/support/t10108197-b...
I can post it here again: my dishwasher (SHX43CO5UC) wouldn't stop, I smelled burned circuit, I followed this example and did find a the solder in question. I've seemed to fix it, now at least the ON/OFF button works, I can at least turn off the dishwasher, previously, it wouldn't even stop when I open the door. Now that I did the new soldering spot, I started the dishwasher, but it's not doing much, just a humming noise, but then nothing happens, no water, no movement, the soap is still in the dispenser. do you think I forgot to plug something back on? Do I need a new control unit ?

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/PUMP MOTOR/DRAIN to work when it is commanded .If this does not happen then the voltage at these points must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage/drive from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect. Check how to remove the control panel: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/dishwashers/a/3/1287/how-to-replace-a-hotpoint-dishwasher-fascia-p.html If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor. The water pressure must be good and the spraying must be seen to be good. If there is low pumping or pressure then the spray arms will not turn around to inject with pressure. If so the pump must be checked for clogging. To replace check this link:
