Default How does a dishwasher know how much water is in it?

My neighbours dishwasher filled up so that when she opened the door
there
was a few inches of water ready to flood her kitchen floor.

I reckon it is a sensor fault. I dug about on the internet, and it
suggests it is a flow meter that tells the machine how much water is
in
there.

could even be the same machine)

How does the flow meter tell how much water is in there?


Time plus flow is volume.


or I am barking up the wrong tree?


so how does it know when to stop measuring the flow?


It knows when it has turned the flow on and off.


does it drain all the water into that big flat plastic bit at the side?


Dunno, I havent needed to do any work on my Bosch yet.

It does have one major quirk, it can be tricky to get it to
start at times and quite often wont do two runs in a row,
but does start fine the next day. But just a week ago did
3 runs in a row fine. Likely its a bad cap in the electronics
board but I havent even got around to looking at that.
