AEG 88070 open the tap

[lomawa]

Can anybody offer advice, please?

Our dishwasher is a few months old but cannot get an engineer visit until 31 Dec.

We get the message ‘open the tap’. We’re having problems with the water supply: lost supply a few days ago and now have lower than normal water pressure. The sink next to the dishwasher has running water.

Do you think we have a fault with the dishwasher?
Is there anything we can do to get the dishwasher working again?

Feeling a bit desperate before Xmas!
Thanks for any suggestions.

if the water board have been doing anything with the pipes i would turn off the tap to the dishwasher and undo it at the machine end and check the filter to see if it is blocked

It may also be that the water pressue is below what the machine will work too as i belive in this model that it is minimum one bar which is why you are getting the error code 💡

Thanks for the replies.

We suspect the water pressure may be too low but the water board hasn’t managed to improve it for us yet.

We don’t think we can inspect the end of the pipe/filter because the pipe is fixed/wired with an integral safety valve- hope that makes sense!

Thanks again.

1 bar = 8 litres per minute of flow from the cold tap if you want to check 😉

Hi,

It is still worth turning off the tap that supplies the dishwasher and checking the filter in the end of the hose that is connected to it, to see if there is any crud blocking it. This can very often happen after the waterboard has been working on the water main.

Remeber that if the fault is due to a blocked hose filter you may well be charged for the call when the engineer calls, irrespective of it only being a few months old.

This would be because the fault may be external to the machine, and not the appliance itself.

HTH.

Just to let you know “open the tap” was caused by the water pressure being lower than 1 bar – everything is working again including the water pressure! but we did a lot of washing up over Christmas!!
