Re: My Smeg DWI 710 E1 dishwasher has a mind of its own

Hi Penguin45,

Thanks a lot for your response. Your diagnosis fits exactly the symptom!
– There are soap marks in the tray where the pump is (the one attached to the motor.)
– There is definitively a faint humming sound after the water-fill sequence. I could hear that the motor was trying pretty hard right before the faint humming sound.

(Just completely out of curiosity – how can the water still fill up the blue water tank if the pump is faulty?)

So I assume its not a problem with the float switch.

Could you give me a quote for the circulation pump (plus postage) please? How long does it take for it to be delivered?

Best regards,
Catrin

Thanks a lot for your response. Much appreciated.

No worries, I switched off the power 🙂

1. I laid the machine on one side to have a closer look at the bottom. I took off the black plastic tray. It was wet but no leakage could be found. I put it back on its feet, slipped a cardboard below the tray, and ran a few programmes to see if/where the water came out. However, the cardboard was dead dry! How could that be? Where did the water in the tray come from?

2. There is limescale on the tray. Is this normal? Does it reveal a leakage somewhere?

3. There is still no water going to the sprayarms. You said it could be a circulation problem. Which part causes it? The pump?

4. I read something about “float switch”. Does this dishwasher have one and if yes could it cause the problem?

Regards,
Catrin
