PCB switches the dispenser directly. Draw your own conclusions.

Re: smeg dishwasher DI612c

thanks chris for the reply. what program does the the dispencer flap open on. and how long into the program did any one else change a board and cure this problum. i want to be sure could some one give me the pcb number and how much is the board. the customer had a daughter on the web calling out how to reset the dishwasher which i tryed and saying the board was a hundered and twenty + vat should i tell the man to buy the board and i would fit it. do you have to be carefull of static with these boards is there any thing else i should check before fitting a new board. sorry for all the questions 😳 fasetester.

PCB is 816290840 – £116.40 + VAT from Masterpart – there are other wholesalers. Be advised that the dispenser solenoid can cause all sorts of strange faults……..

Re: smeg dishwasher DI612c

thanks again chris for your reply. could i here from other smeg engineers when you had this problum did changing the board rectify the problum. and is there any thing else i should check before changing the pcb. would you advise changing the detergent dispenser as well i read one of the post that you can change the solenoide or would changing the pcb cure the problum. i checked the board and cant see any damage does any one know any thing about QER reedlands rd that repair pcb. this is a new customer dont want to pay for board then the whole thing go belly up and on what programs does the flap open and should the dishwasher pump out each time for a few min before filling thanks fasetester.

Re: smeg dishwasher DI612c

Hi,

Set the prog to the glass setting (make sure you close the dispenser flap first), when on the glass setting the machine should fill and motor function, the dispenser flap opens with a clunk, about five minutes later open the door and you should feel some heat from inside. This is normal and it tells you the timer, pressure switch, dispenser and heater are functioning.

However, if the dispenser does not open and the machine goes into drain quickly, open the door and check the water level, if it is touching the lower spray arm the timer and P switch need replacing, also if the machine starts to work OK and you do not hear the soap flap open again open door and, if the water level is as described above the timer and P switch need to be replaced.

Re: smeg dishwasher DI612c

thanks old tog so the pressure sw could need replaced as well. where is it in the sump. i tryed it on several programs with meter connected to dispenser connections nothing traced the wires back to the pcb getting reading on both blue wires pcb no damage to be seen when i open the dishwasher there is enought water in sump but no flap opening have to go back so would need to know what to replace. thanks fasetester

Chris. so what sort of fault am i looking for on the solenoide or are you advised just to replace. it because it could wipe out the board chris and can the solenoide be replaced on its owen removed from the dispenser and a new one put in its place. thanks fasetester. 😕

Re: smeg dishwasher DI612c

fasetester, normally this problem is timer (pcb) and pressure stat. This model is prone unfortunately to that problem. The pressure switch is in the sump above and to the right of the drain pump. Make sure the machine is unplugged before you replace both items. If you are at all unsure about the soap dispenser, remove both wires and fit a fill valve to both wires and see if that operates. but first remove the outer door, fit the wires, set to glass wash, and when the machine is working, see if the valve is making a buzzing noise, if so change the soap disp, if not then timer and P switch.

Remember the glass wash setting is the best for doing short tests, it brings in the soap dispenser soon after filling, then the heater, 20minutes on, it goes into drain, an easy and quick test on all SMEGS.

In case you want to know, I am a SMEG agent.

Oh yes P45 is good a SMEG’s as well, and he is a good bloke, even if he is a penguin look a like (sorry Chris).

Re: smeg dishwasher DI612c

thanks dave for your reply the problum is there is no power going to the dispenser solenoide. i am getting a reading across the terminals what i dont want is to replace the pcb in the door then the whole thing go belly up. is there any way to tell if the solenoide is ok. other that it is not open circuit. if the solenoide was faulty would you not find some sign of damage on the pcb. and can you replace the solenoide with out replacing the whole dispenser. plus can the pressure sw be jammed up and need cleaning or it has to be replaced at the same time as the pcb. how do i test it could run into a costly repair. thanks for all your help fasetester.
