Re: Siemens D/Washer Identification Label Scrubbed Off
Another (faster) way to change said heater.
Remove right hand side panel.Front and rear tank screws and hinge spring.Lift r.h.s. away from base and fix in position.
Now use side cutters to cut male lugs on existing heater,cut female locators on new heater.
Hey presto fit new cartridge to old case.Done about ten this way now.20 to 25 minutes to complete job.
This upside down methhod,no thanks.Far to messy.. :haier:
Re: Siemens D/Washer Identification Label Scrubbed Off
Hell Boro, you’ve done a lot more the me (water?) I can count on one hand the number of the heaters I’ve changed. 😯
Never heard of any instruction to turn dishwashers upside down to affect a repair

Hey BSH MAN
It’s the water in Hartlepool,supposedly the hardest water in Britain!!!
Still ask for two units though 😉
Re: Siemens D/Washer Identification Label Scrubbed Off
I went to back to this machine Friday with a heater that Penguine kindly sent me which turned out to be the correct one 😀 . If it had not then I would have fitted it as per Boro`s posting.
I personally found Martin`s complete tub removal the easiest and it took me just under an hour being my first. I am sure I will reduce that somewhat tomorrow when I fit another one.
The moral of the story is that I had a number of options open to me thanks to the the generosity of this community. So thanks for for your help 😀 .

Re: Siemens D/Washer Identification Label Scrubbed Off
It’s been a while since the postings finished on this subject but ever since I read this I have been puzzled as to how and why?…let me explain…
Remove right hand side panel.Front and rear tank screws and hinge spring.Lift r.h.s. away from base and fix in position.
By only removing the R.H.Side panel and tub fixings there is a great danger of dislodging the fill matrix and especially breaking off the float mechanism on the L.H side. The only solution is to take all the panels off (side, front door and lid) tub fixings and salt cap/collar and to carefully lift the tub up and clear!
A process that takes, I would say, some 5 minutes maximum once the machine is out into the middle of the kitchen floor.
Now use side cutters to cut male lugs on existing heater,cut female locators on new heater.Hey presto fit new cartridge to old case.Done about ten this way now.20 to 25 minutes to complete job.
There are about 6 different “Instanteneous Water Heater Units” that cover all models of B,S and Neff models. In any event you will need to order and fit the correct one to ensure the job is done satisfactorily. Those with IR and flow sensor will need replacing as is required. Chopping both heater unit lugs up and switching just the element over would be somewhat more time consuming and less effective than replacing the entire unit.
No extra time sacrificed and a better job done overall 😀
Moving on from that issue, if any of you guys have come across the wash motor seized up on one of these machines then looked up the price of a new motor replacement ❗ You know doubt have concluded it is BER to even attempt such a costly exercise 😯
In almost all cases when the motor seizes it is just the front ball-race thats had it (the windings rarely burn out on a seized motor by the way)and it can easily be replaced. Stripping the motor unit is a doddle and tapping off the rusty bearing is not too bad with the right tools and a can of WD40. Reassemble making sure you always fit a new Impellor/Seal Kit (165813) as that’s the reason the bearing (608ZZ) went rusty in the first place 😉
Again tub off and out the way for this job… 😆
Re: Siemens D/Washer Identification Label Scrubbed Off
WHAT!!!! tub off to remove circ pump :eeek:
Definitely no need for that.
I have never damaged a side chamber when replacing a heater,and none of them have bounced either.As I stated in previous post have replaced numerous heaters on both free standing and integrated m/c’s. 😉
