I know that F8 = water diverter valve problem. What I don’t know is why F8 still shows after a new diverter has been fitted. Both of the last 2 Smeg DWF614’s I’ve had with this problem have been the same.
Has the water leak from the seal frazzled the PCB? Can that happen?
Hi Mark,
I must admit, I’m not completely sure how to cancel the program. On the first machine, I tried holding down the active program button (as Zanussi machines) and pressing 2 buttons in different configurations (as BSH). It seemed to make little difference as when the program ran again, it would fault F8 about 15 minutes in. 😕
What is the correct reset procedure for Smeg?
probably not a canceling problem then as it would F8 straight away. If it has a start button then hold it down until you can select a new program. If just a program select button then hold that until 2 lights come on.
Not sure what your problem is other than a board fault as suggested, but never heard of it happening before. assuming the connectors in the plug have not been corroded by the leak and making a bad connection on the microswitch. just a suggestion.
