Siemens Siwamat XL1411 stops sometimes and blinks “waschen”

😀 What I mean is that it worked perfect since I bought it back then, new, until now.

I sat and watched one run today(60 deg normal wash, extra rinsing) and ofcourse the program went as intended.
But I noted one strange thing, the first part of the wash, there is a pre-wash, without heating, right?
I saw that the water was taken in via part 2, where I hade put the washing powder for MAIN wash!
It means that the powder was taken in too early according to me, instead the water should go via part 1, where I can put pre-wash powder optionally.
So, after the first pre-wash, all water + most of the washing powder is pumped out…
The during main wash with heating, only some remains of washing powder is inside the machine…
This is a fault in my eyes, and possibly from beginning of use of this machine….or is it the correct way of working for a modern machine..? :rolls:
Later in the program and during rinse, water was taken also some times from part 1 and/or the softener section, so there is a switch at least.

Correct!

But shouldn’t the powder be together with the heated water and not pumped out after first fill…?

The machine is this one:

The option there is are:
Intensiv wash (not activated)
Extra rinsing (activated) (we normally use this one)
Knittershutz (not activated) (cant really tranlsate that but we never use)
Then this time: 60 deg koch/buntwash

In the manual it is written that if you want prewash, regardless of temperature, you should put washing powder in channel I.
(+ II, for the main wash)
The program runs the same but powder is also active during first fill.
If you dont want pre-wash, only fill powder in channel II.
This is what I did, and saw the powder going in during pre-wash fill (the first, not heated), and then pumped out, before the 2nd fill started, which was heated to 60 degrees.

This is basics I think for washing mashines, all I have seen works the same, you dont have to push any buttons to select “pre-wash”, its only steered by if you put powder in channel I or not.
Or am I totally wrong here?

So, I think this is an malfunction on my machine, possible on all programs.
How are the water directed to the two channels, there are two water valves, or some other kind of mechanism?
Perhaps the two valves are connected the wrong way already in factory?
The fills after 2nd seems to be filling in both channels, a bit in I and a bit in II so there all is working as intended anyway.

Knitterschutz = Anti-crease option.
Does this machine have both Hot and Cold fill or just one cold hose fitted?

Strange, the link works for me here now?
Copy the text in the link and paste in a new browser window?
The machine have only cold water connection.
I read further in the last page of the manual, and there it is stated that the program I run, should be with powder in channel I and II, if I want a pre-wash for extra dirty laundry. Then optional also “Intensiv wash”, (not activated this time).
Thanks for translation, but what is then Anti-crease….? 🙂
