CDA CW494 error code help

[Madman_Greg]

Can any one help identify this error code

end of cycle, constantly bleeping , 3 flashes between pauses

Prior to this I replaced the pressure switch (as I damaged the diaphragm during cleaning. Pumps are clear as well

Ran test cycle folowing installing pressure switch, all worked OK, no error codes.

The put in a dishwasher cleaner and ran on 60 degrees and got this error

The cycle appeared to work and got to the drying part, then started bleeping

thanks in advance for any replies

Fault codes here: http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/faul … codes.html

From that it’s a heating system failure.

Thanks

The water does get hot. I have not put a thermometer but it doies get hotter than the DHW which is around 50C.

And there is steam from the drying cycle. Would need to investigate how the drying side of things work. Only looked at the water side of things so far.

Thanks for taking time to reply.

I would also add, it does seem to take time to get up to temperature

I will time the test cycle later. Which I understand should take around 15 minutes.

Re: CDA CW494 error code help

I said I would report back on the test cycle

It took close to 45 minutes and finished with 3 short bleeps, then one long bleep, no flashing lights.

You need a test meter and a little patience to test the components I’m afraid.

Greg,

with the power disconnected, it is worth checking for broken wires between the door panel, where the door pivots at the bottom – these machines are prone to broken wires here.

Good luck

Re: CDA CW494 error code help

@kwatt – I have a multimeter so could check resistance across the heating element or temp sensor. What else could I check apart from continuity across the wires between components ?

@chezza, will have a look at the wires and see what I can find.

Thanks for the replies guys
