Waterload Solenoid / Clogged Filter

Recently had to change our dishwasher lock (integrated Hotpoint BFI 680) but now when switching the dishwasher on, it will start normally and then give a short beep as though it's finished. When opening it, were getting flash lights which according to the manual is a clogged filter alarm but at other times the Water load solenoid valve. Dishwasher has only worked fully about 3 times without problems since changing the lock. We've cleaned the filter and don't think there's anything blocking it. Is it likely to be a filter or solenoid problem or could we have knocked a wire loose when changing the lock?

    It is not likely that you have knocked the wiring but it is worth checking the connectors are fitted onto the control board properly. Check the spray arms are not blocked with rice or food particles.
