It comes down to your own choice…..
No, indeed… just thinking aloud really. My preference would likely be to start afresh, esp. as I don’t really know the history of the current machine… although it rather seems a shame to dispose of such a large item, which was working up until a week ago.
Any recommendations around the price figure, eg: the model I mentioned?

FD8012… makes it over 9 years old, so if I spent £200 fixing it, would it promise not to cost another £200 in the next 5 years? versus a new £400 Siemens with 5 years warranty.

This machine was in the house when we bought it, and I’ve no idea how old it is…Would it be more sensible to simply buy a new Siemens SN25M230GB with a 5 year warranty, which would only be about twice the cost of a new PCB + whatever has caused it to fail…
I realise this doesn’t sound so ethical (unless someone reconditions old Siemens? – rather than disposal) , but will the old machine go another 5 years with another repair bill… I’m not so sure…

Re: Siemens SE56590 GB/07 no display, is it dead ?
Ok, I got the front control panel open, disconnected all the leads and removed the board. It looks just fine, no signs of burning. Replaced all connections, hoping perhaps the problem was simply something loose…
Same result. No display, but when you push the power button you hear a slight pop (electrical connection being made?) , and I hear the water clunk slightly as the aquastop opens for a split second.

I assume the control board is in behind the buttons… could you guide me as to how to access it?
I’ve failed to find a schematic of this dishwasher. The manual download is instructional only… although the insides look a lot like some of the photos posted in this forum.
Might you have a schematic, eg: exactly which component is the water heater motor you mention ?
(I found a posting mentioning a diagram with hose part numbers eg #415, but have been unable to locate such a diagram for this machine).
