Our Beko dishwasher has stopped working. It gets to the point of
draining the water, which it does ok, but the pump doesn't stop working.
Is there some sort of sensor which determines whether there is still
water in the sump? Or would the pump have a sensor? Looking at spare
parts web sites there is nothing about any sensors.

There should be a sensor which senses the level of water in the drum.
This is usually a round housing (about 3" dia) mounted near the top of
the machine. It contains a diaphragm and a microswitch. The diaphragm is
deflected by the pressure of air trapped in a plastic tube (~ 3/8"dia).
The pipe connects the sensor to the drum, via a 'spigot' at the bottom
of the drum.

Not come across a dishwasher with a drum! I'm imagining all the crockery
being whizzed round and round...
