Beko DW686 integrated dishwasher. Stock no:- 7691433842. Serial no:- 12-500857-06.
This machine is doing my head in. Called out for leaking into base tray; cleaned out the clear hose from the drier fan manifold to the sump – totally blocked and water traces around the fan housing. Dried out the base and tried it again. No leaks – great!
Had a recall with the base full again. Dried it out and lined the base with kitchen paper. No leaks at all on the long cycle. Ran it on seven long cycles in the workshop with no base tray or body panels and cardboard underneath…… and no leaks. Tried it again tonight and small leak from where the condenser (plastic chamber with a ‘cellophane’ covering on the right of the machine that goes from the fan centre up to a port in the side of the tank) fits to the front of the fan chamber. There are drops of water around the open grid that covers the fan. There are no seals and the fan grille is open to the air….. how the hell do you stop presumably condensation forming and dripping down to the base tray?
I am surely missing a bleedin’ obvious thing here…… I just can’t see what!Any help please!
Cheers,
Steve.
Re: Beko DW686 dishwasher leaks.
Finally narrowed this very intermittent fault down……. the machine is overfilling! Thinking of BSH stuff, grabbed a flowmeter and fitted it. Machine now fills, stops for about a minute then fills again until after 5 times overfills into the base tray. It is almost like the module starts the program with the pump in the usual way, then fills and then resets itself and fills again. Swapped the flowmeters back over just in case and the old one did the same.
There are no physical leaks anywhere on the machine and the flowmeter made no difference at all. I am thinking the module has failed…… anyone help on this? Has anyone come across this fault before?Thanks in advance,
Steve.
Re: Beko DW686 dishwasher leaks.
Customer has just come back off holiday so I went back to fit a new
module. Ran perfectly – filled, washed, heated and drained ready to rinse. Then it reverted back to fill, lengthy pause, fill again……..
I am sick of this machine TBH, but it has to be fixed. Any help please…… it’s doing my head in!!Thanks,
Steve.
Re: Beko DW686 dishwasher leaks.
Hi Steve,
I know it’s a long shot but have you checked the harness at the bottom of the door? I’ve had several of these dishwashers with severed cables which make and break as you open the door, giving all kinds of intermittent faults. Say it’s the pump wire broken then I do know these machines will fill a second time and then overfill. It’s worth checking if only to eliminate this as a possible cause.Cheers
