If a flashing fault code appears on your Electrolux Dishwasher, it could be due to several reasons: * The water tap might be blocked or furred with limescale. Clean the water tap. * The water tap might be turned off. Turn the water tap on. * The filter in the threaded hose fitting at the water inlet valve might be blocked. Clean the filter. * The water inlet hose might not be correctly laid, or it's bent or squashed. Check the water inlet hose connection. * The siphon might be blocked. Clean out the siphon. * The water drain hose might not be correctly laid, or it's bent or squashed. Check the water drain hose connection. * The protection against flooding might be active. Close the water tap and contact your local Service Force Centre.
