Smeg DWF1 014870600
Above d/w washer seems to be under filling, it will not fill past 3/4’s of the way up the sump so it does nothing other then the water just trickles out the spray arms,
I’ve checked the pipes for blockages etc, theres definately a decent flow of water going to the m/c,
Where else should i be looking?Re: Smeg DWF1 014870600
First port of call for me would be the matrix on the RHS which do gunge up, or possibly the pressure switch has readjusted itself? These machines i think fill to pressure switch trip then time a top up.
IIRC these can be set for a slow filling and low pressure installation by button pushes…can’t remember how to do it but details may be in the user handbook?
Re: Smeg DWF1 014870600
No blockages in the matrix or any pipes unfortunately clive, the pressure switch i can see seems to connect into it at the matrix at the bottom towards the front of the m/c, is that the one were talking about?
Re: Smeg DWF1 014870600
Yep that’s the fella….if it’s tripping to the first level when there’s hardly any water at all then it’s out of adjustment provided the matrix is spotless. They used to put a blob of paint on the adjuster screws to hold them but i haven’t seen any with this for ages now, and i have had the odd one or two that re-adjust themselves as a result.
If you’ve got the time and patience you can work out which screw is which (trip level and difference level) then readjust but as this has a timed top-up it might be a lengthy process as the only way is trial and error 😕
Pragmatically speaking, fit a new one 😆
