any fault code listings available anywhere?
going out to it tomorrow but want to be prepared so we know what might show itself up in case we can fix it on site…
a “i cant do without a dishwasher” customer type…
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02 – the symptoms…
right, have since been out to it
drains.
fills.
washes – for 5-10 mins then stops.
wont do anything
no error light codes
nothing.
just stops
open door, shut it, drains then restarts.
heater has continuity. not checked it for insulation yet though…
circ pump is ok cos it does power through the spinners fine. (zanussi pulse type)this happens on all progs, the light of the selected prog stays lit. doesnt flash…
any ideas?
cant seem to fathom it, other than the old school route of assuming its the pcb… cos everything else works.
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
another update:
finally got code:
LED4&LED5 to flash
(the x2 left of the black button)control pcb fascia looks exactly liek this
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
If the end 2 lights are flashing and its a SMEG its aborted or finished programme, try the dispenser, take front panel off and disconnect the solenoid leads on the dispenser and connect another dispenser to see if it runs ok then.
SMEG dispensers can make the machine just stop after a few minutes, hope this helps 🙂
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
have a zanussi one kicking about from same era, will it work
ps i stole the pic from another post 😳
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
also:
customer rung up today and thought what id found out it was doing was completely the opposite to what she had experiencedas it wasnt stopping at all in the home, it just kept running and running, then it stopped and wouldnt turn back on…
Finally worked out how to do the 4 presses in 3 seconds ( i think i was pushing it too fast) and got it to start up in diagnostic mode. went through the first test, it stopped for about 5 mins so opened door, looked inside, frist second and thurd lights were flashing, shut it and it started again and it went onto the warm test, did that finished but now wont carry on, as the first light (prewash?) and fifth (intensive pot/pan) is flashing.
Also i cant seem to get it out of diagnostic mode now!?!
PS dispenser drawer went pop like it was supposed to on diagnostic, and gets nicely warm…
further edit… tested with dispenser from zanussi – same size and spec – 220-240v / 50-60hz frequency… still nothingchecked in and around base slight dampage around anti flood poly slifter but when checked with the blowtube it engaged and disengaged. so cant be stuck
im now at a loss as to what to do. it would be great if i could now take it out of diagnostic mode… ?!?
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
The thread is a little confusing as you have posted a pic of a smeg made one but then suggest it uses an electrolux “pulse” type circ pump. Which is it?
If it is a Smeg one and you have tested everything you can then it may be a very slight earth leak on the circ pump, try disconnecting the pump and see if that releases the pcb buttons.Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
definitely a smeg its exact same control panel as in the pic, i just didnt see much point in taking a picture, when there was one already on the forum.
as for the pulsing i dont think it is one – i think inadvertantly stopped that as half the spinner arm had a sliver of polythene food wrap in one side, im guessing thats why it appeared to sound like it, as afterwards it made continuous splashing sound during diagnostic mode.
the only worry ive got now is that i might have set it to diagnostics for d/w with a flow meter, and its now stuck there because its expecting one to be there but isnt, cos when i looked on any of connects mediator images… i couldnt spot one.
also couldnt spot any fault with the supprosr other than it felt a little sticky as tho it was covered in a bit of the resin, nothing visually untoward…
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
Outline article HERE.
Inlet valve will sub for the dispenser solenoid for testing purposes.
Reset procedure is in Known Error Codes (P3). To turn alternator valve on, press Start button again and left hand light will go out.

Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
If the pcb is ‘jammed’ (ie the buttons wont respond) then un plug the circulation pump and see it it free’s it off. even a tiny earth leak on the pump can upset the pcb in this way and may tie in with the slight leak evidence you mentioned.
Re: teka (again) ADW6 59 FI VR02
cheers guys, will have another crack at it tonight – picked it up to run it in the workshop where i can piddle about on here while im waiting for various things to complete 😀
wasnt sure whether the inlet sol was ok to swap for the dispenser sol, but if thats safe then coolios, also with regards to the suppressor for future reference, is it ok to remove suppressor and connect the mains feed cables earth to earth from supp, the live to the red off the supp, and the neutral to the white off the supp? obviously insulating all 3 suitablly and keeping away from any water as its right next to the solenoid to avoid any shorts. i know it will probably screw with the pc, but will it be harmful to anything else? and no i dont have a pacemaker…
sounds very much like the 1st part of the diagnostic run showed the “detect flow meter” when not fitted e7 error, which was my fault but that doesnt sound like thats reason why its thrown up the first light constant and 5th flashing.
PS which is the soak light?
also, dont own a meggar, will i be able to still detect the earth leak with a standard multimeter if takign the lead off the circ motor doesnt sort it? or is the level of leakage im looking for likely to be so low it wont be beefy enough to pick it up?
