Re: Zanussi(electrolux)Dishwasher ZSF6128 no water entering

In case others are in the same situation, and looking for a cheap machine replacement…..

Just as a conclusion, I ended up buying a Currys dishwasher machine on-line, an Essentials CDW60S14 Full-size Dishwasher (silver colour option), at £180 includes 1 years guarentee, free delivery, and free uplift of old machine. Works great on half hour program, easy to work, and quite quiet at 55db. Energy rating A+.
White model is CDW60W13 at £10 cheaper. Wife wanted siver, so kept her happy.

I am just glad I am no longer washing the dishes by hand, LOL!

Just hope it lasts as long as the previous machine, Cheers Colin.

OK, got round to taking the machine apart.

The inlet water solinoid is working fine. Pity, as that would have been the easiest item to replace and the cheapest solution.

After looking nothing obvious found, and the rest of the electrical components are beyond me knowing if they are working or not, and it would cost too much to replace parts on an ad-hock basis, so I have just chucked the machine in car and taken it up to the recycling dump. Eight years use was not bad going.

Going to buy a new dish washing machine this week with one years guarentee.

Its crazy days when calling in a repair man with his travel costs, figuring it out at an hourly rate and parts, is nearly as much as just buying another new machine.

Anyway, Thanks for your help.

In your case its fault 1 which is water fill time out

Thanks, Yes, thats it, water is not getting in.

I will start looking at the components you mentioned to see if they are working on not, (getting my electrical meter out now), and hopefully its just the valve solinoid to replace, (new is under £25).

But if it defeats me, it looks like I will just have to buy a new cheaper make of dish washer with a one year guarantee is around £160 upwards. That is just a bit more than the cost of getting a repairer in.

The fact thats its a beat up 8 year old machine, is not worth putting too much money into it, for repairs. Anyway thanks, I will check the machine out.

The water is there ok going into the machine, have checked.

Any idea what the green flashing light means (its the WASH light, solid green when running normally), I assume it means no water in machine, so has tripped out, though if switched back on, pump is running with dry sound, ie, no water.

Thanks for the tips on where the fault may be, especially that water level sensor, did not think of that.

I will check that and water in valve first.
