Hi :) Hope you can

Question

Hi :) Hope you can help. I have a double drawer fisher & paykel dishwasher. In the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago it started up making very loud whirring noises. We could not turn the power off, my flatmate who is an electrician had to remove the fuse to get it to turn off. We have never had problems with it previously. Is this common? Pls help. Thank you. Donna.
