Zanussi Dishwasher DWS909. Intermittent, leaks, fails finish

[NoelP]

Hi, and thanks for any help you can give. Zanussi DWS909, 4 years old approx. Intermittently does not finish cycle. May leak some water (about a cup full). Seems to come from a large plastic rectangular unit on RHS of washer. A mate said this is called the “Integrated Water Management System”! Could this be a design fault? Could the item be repaired or must it be replaced? Is it easy to replace? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Noel P

Noel,

Looking at the front, which side is leaking?

The Water Matrix is on the L/H Side (the ‘thing’ you are describing 😕 )

Yep, LHS (as you look at it from the front). I know, it can be confusing, is it the LHS or the RHS, depends which way you look at it, literally! 😕
Thanks for quick reply.

Yep, IWMS If you come up with product code and serial number we can give you the info and prices etc.

If you feel the call is beyond you, give us a postcode & we will send you in the direction of a repairer.

Hi again and thanks for the help. The serial no. of the dishwasher is 02510788 and has a product no. of 911831019. It also has a type no. 911N81-2F. I should be able to fit the part myself. However having looked at the machine, it seemed difficult to fully remove the side panel. It appeared caught at the front near the bottom. Any idea on this?
Thanks and regards,
Noel P.

Any chance one of you could give me an update on my last post (posted twice by mistake, sorry). How much would I expect to pay for said part and is there a part number?
Thanks and regards,

I hope this makes sense: very non technical and gleaned from my repair endeavours! 🙂

with regard to the side panel ‘caught’ at the bottom. There are two more screws that you have to remove. To get to these, you need to remove ‘kick panel’ that is below the door – to get to the screws for this open the door and look at the ‘kick panel’ you will see two screws(one on the left and one on the right) remove these and remove the ‘kick panel’ then you will see the last two screws for the right side panel. (this is also the way to get the LH panel off as well)

The ‘kick panel’ is the plastic facia at the bottom of the door that doesn’t move when the door is opened.

Now you have the panel off, to remove the IWMS there are three (i think) screws (one topleft and two bottom middle) you also need to unscrew the water inlet from inside the DW. pop off the middle section (yellow on mine) and unscrew the spider.
There are 4 pipes that have spring clips that need to be undone to get the IWMS off. to get to one set you locate the water inlet pipe and (after turning off the water!) undo the coupling ..now where that pipe is there is one screw to the left, remove that now you can remove that small rectangle panel, now remove the 4 screws that you see and remove that panel – now you can get to two of those spring clips!!
The other ones – trace the pipe back to the pump and remove the clip from that end of the pipe (the smaller pipe has enough slack to undo from the IWMS once the IWMS is free)

Hmmmm.. cant seem to edit my last post
anyhow on the IWMS there are THREE pipes on the right and TWO on the left, so five in total.
The”water inlet” on the inside is the condensed vent – sorry for the miss-infomation.

That’s because you haven’t registered, you are showing as a guest. If you register, you should then be able to edit your own posts.

You won’t be able to edit the two above though, if you want to repost them under a registered user name, just copy them over and I’ll delete the originals.

Hi,i thought i just had the same problem…its 1.30am and as i’ve just found the leak to come from the O ring seals at the end of the wash pump,not the bit mentioned above.They all seem pretty slack and not tight to the groove on the pump.I think there are about 3
Are these available separately or do i need to get a whole new pump.Again,i have a DWS909 around 4 years old.

You can buy the impellor kit which incorporates the seals, it is £23.97 inc VAT and post.

If you need one ordered, drop me an email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk
