    Re: Siemens se26230GB/07 stuck on wash cycle

    Thanks for the advice – I’ve studied the exploded diagrams on the BSH website, and assume that the thermistor is it the ‘Sensor-NTC’ attached to the water heater module. Is there an additional separate thermostat, as I can’t find one? Sorry to be thick, but this is a pretty ancient dishwasher, and if I can’t fix it myself for under about £30, it’s probably not worth repairing.

    Thanks,

    DC

    Anyone any ideas, please? Family are pressing for a repair or a new dishwasher! 😳

    Thanks in advance,

    David.

    Yes, the water in the dishwasher was hot when I opened the door to see what was happening inside.

    The pump does appear to sound a bit different, perhaps as if it’s trying to turn but can’t quite do it. However we usually run the d/w on a timer at night to take advantage of E7, so I don’t hear it often!

    I think I might take the optimists way and leave it until after the weekend – we’re away all day tomorrow and out for lunch on Sunday, so not much w/u to do in the meantime. If it’s still not behaving on Monday, I’ll call out an engineer. We’re new to this area, so I’ll ask around at Church on Sunday.

    Thanks so much for your help.

    Kind regards.

    Checked it – all running freely from both the sink and the half-sink all the way to the outside drain. Both u-bends are clear. Anything else I could try?

    (I now have a huuuuuge pile of washing up to do unless I can fix it before bedtime!! 🙁 )

    Wash cycle has finished, display set to O. Some water has clearly been pumped out as the outlet pipe is warm at the discharge end. However, there is water left in the bottom of the machine as before. 😥 What do I try next, please?

    PS This site is such a brilliant idea – thanks!

    Across the floor of the machine. Since posting, I’ve found one of the FAQ videos on the BSH applicance care site, which showed how to get at the impeller to check for obstructions. I’ve done all that and reassembled, it’s just going through a short cycle at the moment to check to see if it has helped. I couldn’t see any obstruction, and the impeller moved reasonably freely. Not having tried to move one before, I wasn’t sure how it should move – it cetainly didn’t spin, some pressure was needed and it moved a quarter of a turn at a time. DC
