Can anyone help, my dishwasher seems to keep running at the end of the cycle and the electronic timer remains on 1. I have checked all pipes and drains. If i turn the machine off and on again it returns to 10 minutes and continues to run.???????
Have you tried it on a different program? I have nearly always used the AUTO program - however i have used the 50 degree program 3 times now and it completes the (much longer) wash without sticking on one minute. Will try it on auto again to see what happens. I found it useful to turn the end-of-wash buzzer on (to loud) to remind me when (if) it completes the program.
SOLUTION BY 88BONHAM IS 100% RIGHT - WELL DONE SIR (MADAM?) !!
Have just (in desperation) followed your advice and found exactly the same problem. I.e. the red plastic float thingy and the bellows float which drive the 2 microswitches were both completely gunged up. Cleaned out with limescale remover and hot water (several times), re-installed and it's all working!
Would add however that this is a fairly major expedition into the mysteries of the internal organs of a dishwasher and is probably best not attempted by the technologically challenged !!
Once again congratulations to 88BONHAM for a brilliant fix and many thanks.

If the water level sensor is on then the pump will keep running trying to remove the water. Ensure the water clears properly from the pump area beneath the strainer accessible by removing the torx screw and lifting out the pump guard. Clear any debris from the area directly infront of the pump blades.
We eventually, after several days of these problems, called a technician. It took him a couple of days to come round. Then when he did - he switched it on and absolutely no problem. His explanation was that if you interrupt the cycle whilst on a hot cycle, it sometimes thinks it's in flood mode. If you leave it off for a couple of days - it's OK.
Learning
1) Try not to interrupt hot cycle
2) If the pump continues to run - switch it off and wash dishes manually for 2 or 3 days.
Hope this helps others.

We have an S5443X1GB/29, which appear so never shut off. The pump keeps on running. I assume it's an error in the controller, or it thinks it's in flood mode and trying to pump out. I do not know how to fix this problem. Thanks, [email protected]
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I ALSO HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD NEFF (NAFF?) S5456 WHICH STICKS WITH THE PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY WITH 1 MINUTE ON THE TIMER. POWER CYCLING IT CAUSES A DISPLAY OF 22 MINUTES TO APPEAR - ONLY A 3 BUTTON RESET SEEMS TO SORT IT. NEFF WEBSITE DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY TECHNICAL SUPPORT OPTIONS. AM INVESTIGATING......
I managed to sort my neff problem where it got stuck on 1 minute. I had to take the side off which revealed the water tank and all the workings. On the lower right hand side there is a bellows looking device. Basically a red float which goes up and down inside a plastic housing. I removed the switch connections, removed the plastic housing, (this involved removing the water connections that feed the tank). I then cleaned the red float. It was covered in white gunge which restricted its up and down movement. I have had no problems since. Good luck.
