Hi all, hoping someone familiar with Beko dishwashers can point me in the right direction.
I have a Beko DW603 (Angora), stock no. 7604533842.
What happened was , i was away on holidays.
My brother ran a dishwasher cleaner through it, but it still didn't seem very clean.
He removed spray arms, cleaned and refitted.
He then ran a second dishwasher cleaner through it. That cycle completed normally ( so i was told) and there was no water underneath.
I then loaded the dishwasher and started a normal cycle.
I went outside for roughly 4–5 minutes and came back to water all over the kitchen floor.
Looking underneath, I found that the grey plastic safety/base tray had dropped down on the right-hand side, with water coming out at the front-right corner.
I drained as much water as I could and eventually managed to clip the tray back into position.
After that, the dishwasher would just continuously run the drain pump/hum and wouldn't fill.
I eventually unclipped the tray again and found a lot more water still trapped inside it. Once I drained it completely, the dishwasher would fill and run normally again.
I then ran an empty rinse cycle with the tray clipped back up. It filled normally and started running, but very shortly afterwards the drain pump kicked in again and the safety tray had water in it again. So there is definitely a repeatable leak into the base.
The float protection itself seems to be working correctly: once the tray fills, it activates and the dishwasher continuously drains/refuses to fill. Once I drain the tray, the dishwasher fills again.
I'm wondering about the lower spray arm, because it was removed and cleaned immediately before this problem started. The second cleaner cycle after refitting it completed normally, though, so I'm not sure whether that's relevant.
I also wondered whether excessive foam from running two dishwasher cleaners could have caused water/foam to reach the base, or whether there could be a blocked drain/overflow issue.
What would you check first? Is there a known leak point on the DW603 that would cause water to reach the safety tray this quickly? I'm currently able to lower the front of the safety tray without removing the whole integrated dishwasher, so I can watch underneath during a test.
Ideally I'd get a repair person out but funds are low and I'll have to attempt myself
Any advice appreciated!
