Re: zanussi dw24 freeze

HI, Thanks for that, but the reason I tried this site was because the engineer said it was a problem in the sealed part of the dish washer and to buy a new one!

I have replaced the inlet valve with no joy.

The anti flood is still kicking in. The small clear tube has water in it.

I tried allowing it to fill until it started to wash then turned off the supply manually to see if it just wasnt closing the inlet valve. But this still didn’t work.

I guess the engineer was right, although I can’t see what there is inside the sealed unit!!

Re: zanussi dw24 freeze

The short tube you speak of, is that a clear small tube that comes out where the pink one comes out?

There is a thin round switch (I think) on the outer casing that the clear tube connects to. What role does this play?

The pink small tube sems to go around the sump and into the inlet vale.

Is the anti flood switch inside the inlet valve or are they the same thing?

There is no click at all.

Re: zanussi dw24 freeze

right…. I have now cleaned out everything. There is nothing between the inside and the tubes underneith, they are gleeming!

The small pink tube is free from water and is the only tube I can find that runs from the inlet to the sump.

When we run the program, it will continue if we turn on the timer on but if left it freezes.

Re: zanussi dw24 freeze

cant find the antiflood hose. Is it grey? If so it goes up the side of the machine from the inlet valve. If the inlet valve is directly where the feed hose connects.

The horse shoe is no v. clean and I can see through to where the blue tubes would be and there is no blockage.

Is ther a way of testing the valve before replacement?
Any idea of the cost of a new valve?

Re: zanussi dw24 freeze

HI, thanmks for that. Yes I have taken out the tubes and flushed them.
The horseshoe had some gunk but they weren’t blocked.
The machine will fill but after a short while it freexes, you can manually turn on the timer but it again freezes after a while.

Which is the anti flood hose and how do I identify the valve?

Re: zanussi dw24 freeze

thanks for that, I had done that already with no joy.

Can I flush from the blue tubes through to the loop underneith? Incase there is a blockage in between?

The only thing I could see underneaith that I didn’t like the look of was part of a plastic bottle which appeared to be full of dark brown liquid.

Having read the other post it talks of this under the newer machine spec.

Is there a way of cleaning this?

The other thing I have seen is to use a wet vacume to suck out from the salt intake! Is this an option?
