Siemens SN26T297 dishwasher distributor

[smeghead]

Hi all
Anyone changed one of these for a late type Siemens dishwasher.
Is it a base off job? 😕
done loads of heat pumps, but not these distributor valves. ( 00644996 )
Thanks.

Looks accessible when heat pump out of the way.

Yes it’s same procedure as a heat pump, base off.
Be careful with the o ring seal when fitting. I generally use a very small amount of washing up liquid to seat it correctly as they can kink up if you are not careful. Push on first then twist.

You take the base off to change a heat pump?

No need to take base off for heat pump replacement.
If that’s what you meant!
I think there’s a locking tab which you press in then twist the distributor off, anyway I’ll find out on Tuesday next.
Thanks anyway.

Sorry mate, you were right, 😡 Base off job – as the fan motor & container make it impossible to access the heat pump, you cant even lift the module out!
Will know for next time though.
