Re: smeg dwi409c
sounds like its a E7 error (flow meter). Although it doesnt normally effect the 45cm models, it may only be a software glitch. try the following:
With the door open, turn on the appliance and within three seconds push 4 times on the program selection
button – The test program has been selected if the SOAK and STRONG LED’s are flashing
This LED combination represents the test program for the appliances that have a flow meter.
If the above indication is not shown on the appliance, switch the appliance off and try the sequence again until the above LED’s are shown on display.
Now push on the program button once more to select the version ‘without flow meter’, check that the SOAK
LED goes out,
Do not close the appliance door, to complete settings switch the appliance off.
Now switch the appliance ‘on’ and test on a SOAK program.
As it says in bold, sometimes it takes a few attempts to get it into the correct mode.
this will not account for the water in the base though!
