I had the ECO wash light flashing which I found (via this site)to be a float switch problem which I solved by disconnecting the switch. After a short succesful trial, I though I would reconnect the float and see what happened. The dishwasher stopped working and displayed the "clean filter" lights 3 and 5. I have cleaned the filter, re disconnected the float switch and the washer still shows the filter clean error lighs. Suggestions?

If turning off the power for an extended period of time did not fix the issue, it's possible that the problem is with the dishwasher's control board or sensor. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check the water supply: Make sure that the dishwasher is getting a sufficient supply of water. If the water supply is interrupted or low, it can cause the delicate light to flash.
Check the filter: Make sure that the dishwasher's filter is clean and not clogged. A clogged filter can also cause the delicate light to flash.
Check the float switch: The float switch is a safety device that detects when the dishwasher is overfilled with water. If the switch is stuck in the up position, it can cause the delicate light to flash. You can try to locate the float switch and gently move it up and down to see if it helps.
Check the door latch: If the dishwasher's door latch is not properly engaged, it can cause the delicate light to flash. Make sure the door is closed and latched securely.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be an issue with the dishwasher's control board or sensor. In this case, it may be best to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
This sounds like a anti flood activation due to water leak / spill detection. This device (polystireen float and micro switch) at the base of the washer detects any water leak and stops the washing cycle once water leak activates the switch via the float. Check if any water at the base of washer is cuasing the float to activate the switch. Rectify any leak / spill (normally a pipe / clamp) and this should solve the problem.
you may want to check and clear the pump
you have something slowing your drain
but for giggles make sure your float valve is free to go up and down like it should
all dishwashers attempt to drain first
so you have a conflict between the float position and the pump sensor
you need to remove the bottom panel under the door, under the machine you will find a small cup on an arm attched to a micro switch this cup is for an over flow ie when the fill setting is incorrect or when the wrong detergent is used ie to many suds empty this cup, thsi should solve your problem
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
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.
Here are the eco related error codes for your washer.. 1)Light 3 (eco) flashes. Water is present in the flood catching tray at
the bottom which usually indicates that there is a leak somewhere. More
often than not this is just a pipe with a poor fitting and simply
tightening the clip is enough to stop the leak. Our machine had a very
slow leak from one pipe (not enough to trigger the alarm) which was
fixed in this way. The leak is detected by a small float switch located
in the flood catch tray.
Undo 4 screws on the metal plate under the dishwasher 3 at the front 1
at the back, this reveals The pump check the seals are in place on the
waste pump.
2)
Wash indicator lights 3 + 5 (eco + pre) flashing rapidly. Filter is clogged. Pull out the filter and clean it. 3)Runs for approx. 3 minutes and then stops. Lights 3 + 4 (eco and fast)
flash. Probably caused by being plumbed into a hot rather than cold
water supply. The incoming water is hotter than required for the wash
which causes the machine to cut out. Plumbing the machine into a cold
water supply will fix the problem with no apparent long term problems.
I had this problem and discovered it was due to a leak. The float switch attached to the bottom panel was operating. Pull out the mains plug, tip the machine on it's side (water will escape so get a mop ready), remove the bottom panel, 3 screws front and back, disconnect the connector from the float switch. Tape the connecter up out of the way and stand your machine back up. Try running it now. If you have a leak somewhere then you will get a puddle under the machine. If no leak, then I would suspect the float switch itself.
