dwf417 constant flashing

[simtoms]

DW417 W (854585615610) when turned on beeps 10 time and light flashes constantly. No fault code indicated. Does little else. Anyone any ideas please?
Thanks, Simon.

Re: dwf417 constant flashing

From the 85 code I get the impression it’s a Whirlpool. DW sounds like it could be a dishwasher. Putting those two clues together, 10 flashes (if = beeps) is in code book as “sensor failure.” The plot thickens.
Anyway, I’d look at the flow meter. If there is one.

sorry, forgot to specify it was a dishwasher. It actually appears to be a Smeg, although its outwardly an Ikea Whirlpool.. the plot certainly thickens…. :rolls:

Ah Smeg. Tried dispenser solenoid coil?

I tried plugging wires onto an inlet solenoid from my van but no joy. Any ideas what parameters it works within before it kicks up a faulty solenoid?
Thanks.

Have you tried some searches on here? Penguin’s the acknowledged expert on these, though possibly not the only one. Somewhere abouts there’s an actual article what he’s wrote. I’ll see if I can find it.

Here we are. Eastlmark also involved in the composition apparently.

Thanks Mike. I appreciate the help.
A tricky process of elimination but hopefully I’ll find something visible….
