Re: Siemens SE25A266GB/24 leaking on fill

Hi nomadPaul,

Thanks for the help. I did what you suggested earlier and took the matrix off and cleaned out the pressure chamber. Reassembled and no further leak but spray arms are not moving either – just fill and empty and a lot of buzzing. I think it might be the impeller that needs replacing so will have a look at removing that and need to get more familiar with my multimeter I think!

Re: Siemens SE25A266GB/24 leaking on fill

Hi,

Just a quick update…just put the dishwasher on a drain cycle but there is still quite a lot of water in the fill matrix. It should be completely free of water, right?

Okay, will give it another go when I get home from work. Will be sure to get some sponges ready! 🙂

Re: Siemens SE25A266GB/24 leaking on fill

Any tips on how I would go about doing that e.g. what parts to remove to get at it? 🙂

I looked yesterday on how to remove it but couldn’t find any guide or instructions.

Re: Siemens SE25A266GB/24 leaking on fill

Perhaps but by replaying the video I took earlier I am wondering if it could somehow be the pressure chamber?

Here’s the video by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKdBPq3Sjz8

Re: Siemens SE25A266GB/24 leaking on fill

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the help. I cleaned the transfer pipe earlier but the problem is still there. From reading, I am wondering if it could be the sump gasket? The leak is definately not coming from the transfer pipe.

Not sure where I would begin in order to get at that gasket (if it is that)?

Regards,
Jas

I assume you put it back in?

Yeah, I did put the cover and valve back in place and then gave it another go.

The pump is not a great expense and if you are absolutely certain that you have no obstructions in the outlet pipe or plumbing then it should be worth changing.

What you describe does sound like pieces of glass or similar though.

Really? I had a quick look on Google and the pump was around £130. I will check the outlet pipe again but I’m pretty sure it is clear. I could quite happily blow air through the other side and see it coming through the dishwasher. Also, the filters are usually quite good so I was thinking other than fat deposits, I could not see what else might get in there?

However, you never know!

Re: Siemens dishwasher not drainining

Hi iadom,

I have already removed the L-shaped cover you mention and got as far as removing the black rubber valve. The impeller moves freely – I jammed the catch in the door, which made the machine believe the door was closed and actually saw it working. So, I don’t think the problem is here 🙂

I guess this means the pump must be at fault, in which case, I think it’s time for a new machine – given this already had a timer fault! 😡

Or maybe an electrical fault?

Re: Siemens dishwasher not drainining

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can only really hear the impeller working and then water starts flowing through. If I shut-off the water and run the drain setting, the impeller starts running but the water does not flow out.

In fact, just running a rinse cycle has caused the dishwasher to fill even more with water. When I now run the drain setting, I just hear a grinding noise.

Faulty pump maybe?

Re: Siemens dishwasher not drainining

Hello all,

I read this thread a few days ago and did what was suggested to try and solve the same problem with my Siemens dishwasher.

The model is: S9VT1S

I’ve had problems with this machine not returning to ‘0 mins’ when the cycle is finished and this is a known problem. So, just wondering if the latest problem is to do with the control unit as well…

Anyway, I disconnected the drain hose and appear to have found no blockages – tested by blowing through that end and could see the bubbles coming up at the base of the dishwasher.

I then checked the impeller which is moving correctly, but unable to pump the water out? :rolls:

I removed the black rubber non-return valve but that made no difference either.

Do you guys have any suggestions on what else I could try to get this thing to work?

Thanks in advance for the help! 🙂
