Re: Siemens Siwamat XL1411 stops sometimes and blinks “wasc

In that case either the water channels in the top on the dispenser cavity need cleaning (de scaling) OT the valve itself needs replacing.

Anti crease has a less intensive spin (usually slower) and more interruptions during the spin sequence to redistribute the clothes and thereby prevent creasing.
Oh, And I managed to get the link to work (thanks for the tip) I was viewing it via Tapatalk on my iPad at the time, hence why it wouldn’t open ….Doh! 😉

Descaling? What does it mean? How is the water diverted to the right or left channel?

I was suggesting that perhaps the dispenser top (where the water is distributed) needs cleaning. The water diverts from one channel to the other by whichever valve operates. So, either the dispenser needs cleaning OR the valve replacing. Check it out, or call in a local service technician to look at it for you. 💡
Re: Siemens Siwamat XL1411 stops sometimes and blinks "wasc
No one valve (water inlet) which has two outlets (solenoids). Simples 😉
Re: Siemens Siwamat XL1411 stops sometimes and blinks "wasc
OK, I can check it. But if its really comes water in the wrong channel, I should to switch the electrical feeding…?
Re: Siemens Siwamat XL1411 stops sometimes and blinks "wasc
Its not 2 similar soleniods, one for I and the other for II?
Or more of a main valve + a “gate” downstream it?Re: Siemens Siwamat XL1411 stops sometimes and blinks "wasc
Lift the lid and take a look inside then you will understand. Power off first though. 😉

OK, I cleaned the sieves of the water hose, man I had rust in the water before I put the filter… 😯
(We have our own water well)
About 4 of the first years, this machine went on quite hig levels of iron and mangan, and the result was very visible in these sieves now, water was very slowly seaping in on the wash powder.
The holes are very small so I had quite difficult to clean it with a needle.
I had good use of my ultrasound cleaner instead, had to use it 3×480 sec and got a waterbath of brown. With things in place again, there was flow as I dont remember seen before..
I cleaned also the housing (where the water goes over the powder in channel I and/or II and noted that there is no poka-yoke on the two hoses from the two solenids for distributing the water 🙂
When I testrun, first I was happy to see that water came on channel 1 in first fill, but only after some second, it switched and also channel II was flooded…
Same as before…
But, then I realized that there is actually only one program on the machine that actually includes pre-wash, its the knob in position 60+”vorwasch”.
In all other programs, both channels are indeed flooded, probably to keep channel I clean or because some people have so difficult to learn to use channel II for main wash…. 😕Anyway, why the machine did pump out like after first fill, with all the powder last time, I have no explanation to.
It indicated a first fill meant for channel 1, but there isnt any such on that program.
The only idea I have is that is was on the limit to stop totally due too slow water flow, which I really think was the only fault here, but pumped out instead and re-started by itself.
I ran one normal program now and tested a lot before with water only and it seems to work fine now.
Will update if things are not OK..Thanks for all help!
