Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Would still appreciate just a little guidance as to how with a multi meter I check existing pump before jumping in and replacing anything
Gut feeling is it is the pump that’s faulty but would still be grateful for help even if you think mere women should not tackle such thingswe all have to learn somewhere and sadly for many people money simply does not grow on trees these days
All local repairmen want £60 just to walk in the door
which neither I or daughter hasI am of course very well aware to disconnect machine from supply and not go at anything gung ho
Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
As I said in my post over a month ago, the pumps resistance level should read 80ohms using your multimeter. Disconnect the wire to it then check the coils resistance.
You have to be aware that other factors can lead to these somewhat random error codes. And replacing the pump may not necessarily cure the fault. A little knowledge can be a costly and time consuming and very often can get you nowhere. We will help where we can of course to avoid you stumping up 60 quid but ultimately calling in a local expert could be your cheapest option short of getting the local authority to dispose of this somewhat fault prone gadget.

Indeed so.

Ah, tough one that. Many makes have similar weaknesses and coupled with many users ignoring putting salt in and thinking 3 in 1 tablets will do, end up with early breakdowns. I was pro- Siemens for decades, not any more.
But the good news is it can be fixed, but then you may have to reconsider getting local help.
Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Fairy liquid ……………is whats been going on for last 6 weeks
but that causes its own drawbacksI have an even older Seimens Dishwasher that touch wood is fine
which is why she bought the one she hasThe bottom line is
The machine tripped the electrics
then she got error code 15 ( need to find my original posting )
U Tube suggestion was tilt the machine as it might be an air lockThen error code 23 appeared
I did a load of basic checks and checked pump spins inside machine
dishwasher cleaner is regularily used as is salt filled
however theres no sound from the pump and machine will not drain
Having borrowed a multimeter I will see what more I can find tonight
May still need to know exactly which Dishwashers can be relied on to work without giving trouble there must be some surely ?????
Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Grrrrrrrrr
Cant imagine the thinking that went into putting that machine together
Talk about make it difficult for repairmen to get at parts they must really curse at this modelAnyway having started to check the machine logically by unscrewing bits around sump I did find some soggy paper ( must have been a label on a jam jar someone neglected to soak off first )so that could be the culprit
Have taken sides off and kick plate and plate behind it
but actually getting the drain pump out is next challenge ………….a bit of advice or link to a U tube bit would be helpful pleaseI understand its a bayonet fitting but I don’t do brute force and ignorance ! Heaven knows how engineers get their hands in there
It would be so easy if the dishwasher base was removable
What I did notice though was a brownish mucky looking section in the middle of the large white plastic water circulation tank / box on the side and I wonder whether this is also part of the problem
Is it possible to remove this to flush it out ?
Have taken a photo so can post a link later if that helpsRe: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Don’t undo those sump screws…
That mucky stuff isn’t muck its meant to be like that.
I think you’ve may have made matters worse.Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Cant see how I can have made matters worse by simply unscrewing the 2 screws on the grey downpipe from back of inside machine and removing bits of paper floating underneath
What concerns me is the state of what I gather is the pressure chamber in the water .heat exchange tank on the side
hopefully photo link above
Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Please can someone look at the photo I posted and give me an answer
Got to find a way to fix this machine
Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent help
Top centre is the “drainage vent valve” and it does look seriously gunged up. Not sure if it is possible to access to clean? I doubt it. We in the trade normally stick in a new fill/drain matrix. Saves messing with it. 😉
Re: Seimens SN25 M830 UK Dishwasher Error E23 Urgent h
Ok so could that be the source of the fault rather than the pump
Or would both be the cause of the problem?
