Re: CDA CW 497 dishwasher – error code 11

Hi there Dave

thanks for such a quick reply!

I think it might be the ‘water in the base’ scenario as I have had a dodgy pipe in the cupbboard next to the dishwasher and some water leakage there which may somehow have got into the dishwasher base.

I don’t think I’m up to taking doors and stuff off though but will try to get a friend to have a look. Hopefully it’s fairly easy to dry out if there is water there and the dishwasher will work again!

Thanks
Rachel

thanks for all your help.
I called the engineer and have had a new pump fitted so am back in action now!

Thanks Penguin45.
I have done as you said and spied on my dishwasher in action. Unfotunately nothing was going on. No spinning, no spraying, no activity at all with the rotors, just the washer filling with water.

Sounds like my pump is seriously ill. I’ll call an engineer tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply!
I have checked out the spray arms and connectors and everything seems fine.
I don’t know how to check the pump. I can hear it and it doesn’t sound weird but I don’t really know what else to look for.

Is there any chance it could be a pipe blockage do you think?
I have an agreement with British Gas where I have cover for pipework so maybe it would be worth calling them out to check for blockages before I have to bite the bullet and call an engineer to repair the dishwasher. What do you think?
