Siemens Extraklasse not heating

Can you see an FD number on the door etching . This would give us the manafactured date. It would poss be something lik 81xx .

There are normally 3 reasons for non-heating –

1) Lack of water in appliance – Low water levels will stop appliance from heating as heater pressure switch needs a certain amount of water before it will allow heater to operate.

2) Burnt out contact on heater relay on main control board –

3) Open circuit water heater – normal resistance is approx 29 – 35 ohms

I’ve listed these faults in order of probability

1) You will need to check the pressure chamber and ribbed hose , located on the bottom left hand side for blockages . If you get a ‘kerdonk kerdonk’ noise on fill or there’s no water covering the base once the machine is up and running , then this is the probable cause. Cleaning out these two places could cure it.

2) You will need to remove the module and examine the circuit board – the burnt out joint will be quite obvious . If this is the fault , either a new board is required OR some independent engineers will attempt a soldered repair.

3) Open circuit heater is most definitely the worst scenario of the 3 and is a nasty job even for experienced engineers –

If its 1 or 2 , then it may be worth a go but if its 3 then you’d be better getting someone in or replacing the whole machine

POWER OFF AND PLUG OUT IF INVESTIGATING

no worries….

For your information , an FD of 8111 means its just under 8 yrs old
