Re: Smeg STX 2 – program stuck on P0
Thanks ‘P45’. This is the last thing they wanted to hear – although I think that it will speed the decision. They have already spent ~400 quid over the last year repairing the machine, and are really not happy with it, so given what you have said I think the machine will be junked!

Re: Smeg DWF 44 SS.1 motor
OK, so mine’s a 6uF, +/- 5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}. Can I assume that the universal 6.3uF would be OK? (as 6.0 + 5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} = 6.3)
If this works I shall be very 😀 😀 😀
Just today the water pump has gone on the car, so I can’t afford to change the dishwasher as well!
Thanks for your help, Dave!

Re: Smeg DWF 44 SS.1 motor
Thanks for your help Dave.
OK, so I have managed to disassemble the dishwasher by taking the top, sides, front, back and bottom off (are all dishwashers this complicated to take to bits ❓ ), and from there I have access to the motor etc. This, by the way, is further than the engineer went.
Attached to the motor is what looks very much to me like a capacitor, about 2 inches in length and an inch in diameter, white in colour. It looks very normal with no outwards signs of being ill. Can I test it somehow (I do have a multimeter type thing available), or is the only way of confirming to change it for a new one?
If the only way to be sure is to have a new one, is this a stock item that could be posted quickly? I have family flying out on Saturday so if it could be posted to them, I could save on postage and have it for the weekend 🙂 7 people in the house with no dishwasher is not what I want to endure!!
