Eco light sometimes indicates that water has got into the bottom panel of the machine. A float switch is underneath to protect the machine ( and your kitchen floor from being flooded. ( Either from overfilling or a leak) If you tilt the machine backwards see if any water runs out. If the machine restarts , then you will have sourced the problem. Should the flashing start again later, you may have a water leak underneath. Also check the lower door gasket to make sure its clean. If the gasket is dirty, sometimes water builds up behind the gasket and drips over the front of the tub into the bottom panel underneath causing this symptom. When cleaning the gasket, be very carefull!! The edges of the door at the bottom are razor sharp..

    It is not a dishwasher but a range hood exhaust fan!

    If the unit has the ECO light flashing and the pump running all the time then the overflow tray maybe full OR the overflow switch may be faulty. Check if there is water in the overflow tray. I my case the tray was empty and dry and this mean the overflow switch was faulty. A quick fix (AFTER YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE UNIT) is to pull the blue wire off the overflow switch and the dishwasher works fine.
    This is only a temporary fix of course as the overflow switch must be replaced or you risk a flood.

Our Dishlex Global 300 appears to be stuck in Pre-wash. The Eco light is flashing and the water has drained. All other buttons are unresponsive. I have just replaced the seals and handle assembly.

If your getting 120 volts to your dishwasher, I would first ohm out your thermal fuse for continuity, turn your breaker OFF to your dishwasher first.

Dishlex global 300 : dishwasher dispenser won't

Hi just read your posting.The problem could be a faulty dispenser coil ,or the wires to it are faulty or the computer is faulty.Try selecting a normal eco wash and when you push the start button to start the machine hold the button in until the pre wash light turns off.This should make the dispenser activate straight after it fills.The only way to test which part is faulty is with an electrical meter.Have you or can you borrow one.If so then I can guide you step by step in finding the fault.please reply with additional information and I am sure I can help you further.Looking forward to your reply.

Hotpoint FDW60 flashing eco light

if the eco light is flashing, this indicates that saftey float switch has activated in the base of the dishwasher usually caused by a leak, a polystyrene float activates a microswitch which cuts of the water inlet supply

Dishlex dishwasher global 300. Dishwasher continues to drain with ECO light flashing. Service manual says it is due to an incorrect fill level or fill line.

Some diswashers have a sump in the bottom with a float switch. If the water level overflows the float will activate the switch which will kill the machine and run the drain pump continuously.

Hi. I have a Dishlex global 300 series and it starts going through the cycle ok but after about 5 minutes it starts to fill up again and the eco light starts to flash and it won't stop filling up and...

The operating manual says under problem solver thatin such a situation it has an incorrect fill level or fill time and recommends then the need for a service agent.

Try holding the start and programme buttons down at the same time until the machine beeps. This will reset it in case it is just a computer problem.
