Smeg DWF64SSE – Gone Mental

[Pepsi]

Hi. I have a Smeg dishwasher model DWF64SSE that had been working quite happily for about 5 years.

It has now started to play up. I came in today to find that it had stopped working. This has happened in the past and displayed error codes. Unfortunately this time there is no code at all, and the machine has a load of water in the bottom. We think it may have broke very early into the cycle as we could see the half dissolved tablet in the bottom. The machine would have been in this status for hours before we got to see it. None of the buttons seem to do anything. I have tried to reset the machine but to no avail. I have seem about 3 different ways to do this on this forum and none seemed to work. However none of them may have been correct.

Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Are you getting any lights/display at all, or is it actually dead?

There is a light displayed for the on/off, timer and salt level.

None of the status indicators are lit. We had a couple of problems last week but are not sure of what the indicators were. Starting the machine seemed to sort these out.

Noluck so far with this problem

Right, so you are getting power into the appliance – this does all rather point to the computer side of things. The display not powering up is a fairly classic sympton.

Given that this is an expensive component and it is entirely possible that it has failed due to a further component problem, I would seriously suggest getting some pro help. This is a technically complex machine and parts are not particularly cheap, so this may well be the best way of “getting it right”.

Check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.
Power off if investigating further.
