Hi all,
Not got the machine out to check it at the moment. The fault is that the water valve is activating as soon as it is switched on, and will fill to overflowing. No matter what position the switches are in it disregards them and carries on filling. Is there an overide sequence on this model.
Actually the DF53 is a Creda made machine not a Bosch clone. Possibly the Heating Element is shorting to earth thus supplying a feed to the inlet valve 😉 Also the wiring loom is a suspect, access is tricky though 🙄
Yeah, back up Dave and Martin, the Heater causes all sorts of odd faults on this one, disconnect it (its right at the front once the front panel under the door is off). You should also be able to click the timer on using a torx screwdriver and they even include a timer disc in the bottom moulding, assuming another engineer hasnt knicked it. Dont forget to re set the timer to the end of programme position otherwise you will get a recall as the start button wont work.
