Siemens se26230GB/07 stuck on wash cycle

[chambed]

Machine won’t drain or dry – keeps wash cycle going indefinitely. Thought it was due to a power cut messing up the timer switch it’s attached to, but it was still washing 5 hours later (!), and the salt light had come on (only refilled a few days ago). Outlet hoses and house plumbing all seem clear. Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

David.

Does it heat?

Yes, the water in the dishwasher was hot when I opened the door to see what was happening inside.

Anyone any ideas, please? Family are pressing for a repair or a new dishwasher! 😳

Thanks in advance,

Thermostat or thermistor failure would be the most obvious thing to check. If the timer or electronics don’t get a signal that the temperature has been reached then the machine won’t advance past that phase of the program.

Thanks for the advice – I’ve studied the exploded diagrams on the BSH website, and assume that the thermistor is it the ‘Sensor-NTC’ attached to the water heater module. Is there an additional separate thermostat, as I can’t find one? Sorry to be thick, but this is a pretty ancient dishwasher, and if I can’t fix it myself for under about £30, it’s probably not worth repairing.

Thanks,

DC
