Smeg DWI614 Buttons not working

[kasapeky]

Hello All,

I have a Smeg DWI614 dishwasher. My buttons are like frozen and you only hear a couple of beeps when turning it on. Cannot move the program button from P0 and none of the other buttons respond except for the clock one (don’t know what it does) and it diplays 20 when pressed.

There is a star shape and an S shape showing on the display, referring to rinse aid warning light and regenerating salt warning light.

Have never had an instruction manual, but is it stuck in some sort of timer setting or something perhaps?

To be honest this has probably happened about 5 times before in the last year, however after powering it up and down a couple of times it has worked again in the past.

This time I can not get it going again.

Any ideas gratefully received..

Pete

With the power off, it may be worth checking the door lock isn’t in the closed position even though the door is open….you get my drift 😉

Yeah cheers greg I know what you are saying.
There was a previous thread where a chap had the same problem but he also couldn’t close the door.
I checked this and can’t see a problem.
As it turns out it has started working again all by itself. So there is defo an intermittent problem here.
I still think it has something to do with the timer. When I press timer now that it is working a completely different set of info comes up from the simple no 20 before..
Anyway its working again.
Thanks for your help

Hi

Did you get any joy with this fault as my mother in laws m/c is currently doing the same, i’ve stripped the board out and one of the connection to the board had sooting round it, metered at 1meg so snipped off and hard wired to the board.
There is some evidence of water entering and drying up on board leaving limescale deposit, cleaned as best as can and metered between joint to see if any shorts okay as far as can work out, all buttons are dead shorting when pressed so all good there, i’m 99.9999{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure it’s a board fault but,
a) i can’t find somewhere that stocks the board
b) loathed to repair if it’s going to do exactly the same in 6 months time, i’d rather get one of our products, which i know fairly inside out, and can easily obtain parts for.

Cheers for replies
