cid60w12 Dishwasher p1 & p2 flashing

[grooster]

Hi,

I’ve just had a customer on the phone with a Currys Essential dishwasher flashing lights 1 & 2. Looking online at this fault it is the water valve side of things. The customers does say that it will fill with water though and only flashes this fault after about 5 minutes. Things are wet inside.

I was just wondering if anybody had a little bit more experience with this fault and these symptoms that could advice further whether its worth a visit or not with it being a cheap crappy machine. 1 hour round trip.
Thanks as usual.

Nick

The airbreak units in these often scale up internally causing the PCB to time out on fill. You can tell by taking off the left side panel and look at the airbreak during filling. The blockage will be at the red semi circular jet. You can also feel the pressure build up in the valve to airbreak hose as you switch on. Remove the airbreak and shake out excess water. Turn the unit so the pipes are uppermost. Fill the inlet side with Kilrock kettle descaler liquid and wait until it clears the jet of scale; usually 5 – 10 minutes then flush out and refit.
New airbreak is available from Connect – about £20 + vat trade.

Hope that helps!!

Steve.

Cheers Steve, thanks for the detailed response.
At that price I’ll get one ordered and go and take a look.

Thanks again
