    Hello everyone,

    I have run into a problem with my cda dishwasher.The bottom is full of water and the far right led is flashing six times. I was wondering if this indicated the fault with the machine.??

    Regards Jim

    Hi

    F6. 6 Flashes. Water valve (WV1) is switched on but flow meter (FM) senses no impulses (less than 10 impulses in 10 secs) and the water indicator (WI) is at a low level
    Water Valve Closed. Water inlet hose blocked.
    Water inlet valve (WV1) defective. Flow meter (FM) defective (leads to FM failure)or board failure.

    Dry out the base – leave it for a couple of hours and then retry the machine it may just be the float switch in the base. Power off first please

    Re: CDA cw494

    Thanks for the help guys.

    I will trying draining it and then leaving it for a couple of hours. Hopefully that will work 🙂
    I have been playing around and have figured out that the drain feature seems to works ok because when i reset the machine it empties itself before starting its new cycle. It seems to fill up fine but then it does nothing and then i get my 6 flashing fault lights.
    Is there any way of finding out which part is not working?. I.e I think (and i only do think, not know) the drain is ok and the water inlet is ok because of what i explained. Any way to test the flow meter?

    Regards Jim

    Drag the dishwasher out and remove the left hand side panel. Flow meter is a water wheel device at the bottom of the plastic fill matrix – you should see it spinning when water is coming in. The usual problem is oxidisation of the contacts. With the power off, clean the contact surfaces, give the connector a pinch and refit. It will probably work. If it doesn’t, the reed switch may have failed and you’ll need this chap HERE.

    Thanks for the advice Penguin45, I will try that this week.
    Have a situation update though!!!!! The dishwasher is now leaking water all over the floor. From what i can tell (without moving it) it is coming from somewhere on the right hand side at the front.
    This is a disaster because I live in a 3 floor house and that water has now leaked through the floor into the downstairs bathroom.

    Thanks again for the advice.
