 The top drawer of my beloved DD603 will not get through a standard wash cycle. In Fast eco mode (38 minute cycle), the drawer will not progress past 26 minutes remaining on the display. On Fast (58 minute cycle), it sticks on 29 minutes. The wash just continues without end. I can complete the wash by turning the drawer off, then on, choosing the rinse cycle, and starting.

A rinse cycle (12 minutes) completes normally. In diagnostic mode, I can complete the fast cycle, and all functions in diagnostic mode seem to me to work correctly. The tub home sensor works properly as I open and close the drawer.

I have tried swapping the control modules between the bottom and top, but the problem stays with the upper drawer. The light tubes/prism arrangement at the side of the tub seems clean and alligned. The board with the flood switch (in bottom tray) has been through a lot of abuse, but there doesn't seem to be many relevent parts on it that I can see. I also can't see an easy way to swap top and bottom connections, at least not with the amount of beer I keep on hand at any one time.

I've spent so much intimate time with this unit resolving F1 errors and tenderly sopping up trays of water late into the night, that I can't bear to think it's over. Is there something I'm missing that can restore automatic function to the upper drawer?
