Re: siemens SE64630GB/7 rotor arm / impeller problem?

Penguin45, thanks for all your help – I now have a working dishwasher.
The thing is….well, I err..

I err, kinda bought a new one.

Thanks again.

Ah – that explains why I can’t get in there.
Sounds like a big job but I guess I’ve come this far…
Can’t wait to see my wife’s face when she walks in halfway through.

I’ll have a go tomorrow.
Thanks Penguin45

I ran the DW with the sides off so I don’t think it was the O rings. I’m sure I’d have seen any leak.

But you’re right – it’s probably something I’ve done.

Do you have any advice on how to get to the motor and all the other ‘gubbings’ underneath? Don’t forget, I’m new to DW repair and have probably missed summat obvious. It seems almost impossible to get my hands into that area let alone see where a leak is coming from. I have both side panels off which allows a small window either side and loosening the stainless steel front panel under the door allows a little more access.

Thanks Penguin45 (BTW – are there 44 other Penguins in here?)

I already had the fill matrix out in the sink with bleach in it.
It was indeed mucky at the top near the float but it’s pretty clear now.
I also took your advice and cleaned out the corrugated feed tube. It was in a mess.

Trouble is I’ve tried running the DW and I’ve got a leak now. Bottom tray is filling with water. Simply cannot see where it’s coming from, the access to the underneath is really limited unless there’s a panel I’m unaware of.
Maybe it’s leaking from where I started to turn the motor where it ‘bayonets’ onto the impeller area. I’m pretty sure it’s back in place now though.

P***ed off now. Thought there was some light at the end of the tunnel.
