how to check a dishwasher flow-meter board fault
a filling interruption can have several causes. check the visible supply first, then have a technician assess the flow sensor before choosing a replacement.
the linked parts are bare reed-switch boards, not complete cased sensors or inlet chambers. existing clips, hydraulic housing and other retained parts must be sound.

scope: match the exact appliance revision and old board outline, connector and clips. Bosch/NEFF/Siemens 00611317-family boards and Miele 5544031/5544030 boards are separate product choices, not cross-brand substitutes.
diy warning
working on appliances can involve mains electricity, water and moving parts. always disconnect power and water before you start. in Australia, gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter, and fixed (hard-wired) electrical work by a licensed electrician. everything on this site is guidance only, and any repair you carry out is at your own risk. we are not responsible for any damage or injury caused by attempting a repair. if you are not confident, please use a qualified technician.

steps
- check the visible supply
check the accessible water tap and look for a visible hose kink without moving the dishwasher. note whether water remains from the last wash and when filling stops.
- give the model details
give the repairer the complete appliance label, including revision digits. say whether water never enters or starts entering before the machine stops.
- leave the panels closed
have a qualified technician check the supply and flow sensor under the model's service instructions. don't remove side panels yourself.
- have the board fitted
if the board is faulty, have the technician check the exact revision on the product page and compare its outline, clips and connector. board colour or an inlet warning alone doesn't identify it.
- check after repair
the technician must confirm normal filling and no leaks before returning the dishwasher to use.
