Good morning,
Wondering if anyone has come across an obscure problem on the above, or similar dishwasher?
The problem being that when filling, water is leaking back up from the water softener to matrix/air break joints (2 off).
I have renewed the rubber “O” rings, and the plastic on both matrix and salt container look fine.
Perhaps there is a blockage in the system, and wonder if this is where I should be looking, as I’ve not come across such a problem before?
Regards,
jonty

It’s a Smeg under the skin. 😉
The air break is pushed down into the softener unit and is secured by a small plastic latch. I’ve found that if you double up / triple up the ‘O’ rings on each nozzle until the latch is really tight and just catches under the edge on the softener, then secure the latch with a zip tie to stop it jumping off. I usually use smaller thinner tight fitting ‘O’ rings behind the originals and that seems to work fine. Genuine ‘O’ rings are available from Smeg or Connect – the latter want £2.70 + VAT for each one!! Just use aftermarket ones from Machine Mart or motorists shop. Much cheaper!!
Steve.

Good morning Steve,
Thank you for your excellent advice.

Yes, original “O” rings rather expensive.
