The dishwasher was working fine, went to turn it on and the red light was flashing, cleaned all the filters but now the filter combination handle has come off. I can take the silver filter off but cannot get the cone filter out and the handle won't go on properly. I have turned the dual to Stop and pushed the on/off and start button together ( do I do this with the power on. If so the machine starts, no water and then the inlet button comes on as a solid light).

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you saying that water does not enter the machine and that a warning light comes on?

I suspect the light is indicating a water-related problem rather then a filter issue - what does the user manual say?

Operating the controls when the power is turned off will achieve very little.

Your machine will not work unless it has water - you would do well to investigate the water inlet solenoid - or have an expert look at it.

Good luck..., April 2015
