    Hi,

    I just fitted a new detergent dispenser for my Smeg dishwasher as the solenoid no longer opened the detergent door during the wash.

    Now when as soon as I switch the machine on, the solenoid ‘activates’ immediately, opening the detergent door. It won’t ‘deactivate’ at all.

    Does this mean that I have a duff PCB? Symptoms before I replaced the solenoid were that it suddenly one day stopped opening – so I assumed the solenoid was gone – if I reattach the old solenoid, then it does nothing at all.

    Thanks in advance

    It does sound as if the solenoid on the old dispenser has damaged the PCB to be honest 🙁

    At this stage I would ask an engineer to come and check though as the PCB is expensive and a misdiagnosis could prove rather costly 😉

    Check the repairs@ link below 🙂
