Siemens dishwasher/Just flashes at me!

[Lonestar]

Hi. I have a Siemens dishwasher that won’t go. The ‘tap’ light and the rinse-aid light are both flashing when I switch it on, but it won’t let me select any programs or do anything at all. It seems to be dead. It was an expensive buy, so I’m hoping I can fix it. Any clues please?
Oh, the model number (which I got off the door edge, so I hope it is correct) is SN26T293GB/25.
Thanks.

The error code refers to ‘Communication error between the electronics’.

Measures to take: Check plug and socket connection into the back of the appliance. And disconnect from power supply (unplug and plug back in).

If that fails then the diagnosis suggest the main power module is at fault. 🙁

Thanks for the reply Martin.
I tried what you suggested, but still no joy.
The main power module is priced at £114.66 on the Siemens web site.
What with the cost of an engineer as well as any part(s), and the probability that a seven year old dishwasher (that’s had a LOT of use) will be likely to fail again, I think I will cut my losses and get a new one. A new one will be warrantied for at least a couple of years too. Thanks again.
