hi,
i am to look at a siemens d/w(6 years old but don’t know model no.yet) but top spray arm is not turning even though the jets are clear and bottom spray arm is fine.is this a problem with the wash motor or are the arms worn out.any ideas?
GalwayRe: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
Probably the diverter on the heater unit has failed.
As turbo said model number 😀Greg
Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
Hi
No it comes as part of the instantaneous water heater unit, if fitted.
Model number will give us more info 😉Greg
Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
the model no:SE64630GB/13 arms clear do turn but there doesn’t seem to be great pressure.any idea? plus customer said tablet does not always disolve?
Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
Hi
This model doesn’t have the diverter unit, so I can only guess that there maybe a restriction from the heater to the top basket,recirculation pump is weak or has restriction or low water level.Greg
Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
thanks Greg
when you say low water level do you mean machine has not taken enough water ?would this not have thrown up a fault code?Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
I have had one that ingested a piece of clingfilm into the wash pump which wedged itself on the impellor…in fact it was such a pain trying to dig it out i gave up and replaced the impellor kit.
Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
If the water level is low it will probably be due to a blockage in the sump hose or pressure system. This is a common problem and it doesn`t always throw up a fault code.
Re: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
my money(if I had any) would be on low water level
its the most common problem I get on bosch machines
the pipe from the side chamber to the sump will be blocked
The pipe it at roughly 7 o’clock as you look in and gets full of gunge(technical talk) making the level switch advance the programme without enough water to feed both spray arms
hope this helpsRe: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
hi all
the pressure chamber and pipe leading from this to the wash pump was full of gunk so i have cleaned this and seems to be working well .is there any need to investigate further?
cheersRe: siemens dishwasher top spray arm not turning
Once youve cleaned out the sump hose it will work fine.
It is a build up over time so its not dependent on any other failing.
Best is you can get to this hose from the front of the machine, after removing s/steel cover (plinth) and you can usually just pull it out and refit it without any dismantling.
Job well done. 😆
