SMEG DI6012 leaking – Error E1

[Daniel140280]

Hi there,

Dishwasher failed yesterday, which was originally thought was due to a power cut mid-cycle. However, ascertained it was an E1 error.

I took the front off and found the aquastop triggered due to small water puddle. On drying and turning on again, the machine suffers again and appears to be dripping from somewhere I believe is just under the waste removal.

Any help please…..picture included. Thanks, Daniel

You need to work out where the leak is.

What is the best way to do that? Sounds like I need to take the machine to bits to get to it.

You’ll usually see traces where the water’s been.

On the picture, you can see a black tube which has wet patches. This is where the drips are coming from. So it’s either directly from this part (don’t know what it is), or something just above it. Does this help identify the problem?

Nope, I’m afraid it’s a get down there with a torch and try to find it sorta job.

No easy way, no quick solution.

So it’s definitely between the black tube and the area above it. Afraid I’ve no idea where next. Do I attack from inside the machine to get at it, or underneath and any idea the name of these parts should they need replacing. Thanks for help so far.
