Neff SM6P1F – won’t run

[markwestwood]

Hi,

I’ve got a problem with my Neff integrated dishwasher – it powers on, the display panel lights up and operates as normal, but when you start a programme and shut the door, it doesn’t run. I’ve tried resetting by holding down the start button for 3 secs, this changes the mode as described in the manual to a one minute cycle but this also fails to run when the door is shut. I’ve checked the pump impeller isn’t blocked by any debris. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Neff SM6P1F – won’t run

Bit of an update – the problem looks like it is related to the door catch or whatever sensor the machine uses to detect door shut. When the door is shut normally, it doesn’t run and the display panel remains lit. When I squeeze the door shut more tightly, the panel goes blank and the machine then runs as normal.

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the door catch/door shut sensor or any other fix?

On the plus side, I’ve managed to get a g-clamp to hold it shut as a short term fix so at least the washing is getting done!

Thanks,

Mark
