Smeg DWF612ss

[Slatovski]

Hi all, I have the Smeg DWF612ss dishwasher and I seem to have hit a problem. When I press the start button the pump seems to start for a split second and then the machine stops. I have checked for blocked pipes and also looked at the aqua stop device but still no joy. I have found that if I keep the start button pressed in the machine will go through its cycle, but to be honest I think it would be easier to wash the pots in the sink. 😀 . Hope I have posted in the right place and someone has an answer for me.

Cheers, John.

Check the power switch carefully first, failing that it’s the pcb. Scarey money…….

Power off first, please.

Thanks for your reply Penguin45,

What I forgot to add was, if I let go of the button, after the water has been pumped out, the program carries on until the next time it needs to evacuate the water. Is it the same pump that pumps the water around the machine as drains it? Also is there a way to reset the dishwasher? Looking from the right hand side, there is a cylindrical chamber on the right of the sqaure salt chamber with stuff in it. Is this normal, a filter or something?

Cheers,

John.

Hi

Container with brown looking crystals is correct thats the water softener, thats where the salt goes through to regenerate.

Thanks Washman,

So its not full of pasta sauce then 😆 . Could it be some other type of cut off device like a float switch or something? If so where abouts are they located?

Thanks again for your help.

John
