Re: SIEMENS XL1400 fault
This looks like the answer. We have found a small slit in the bottom of the door seal. During “Wash” water drips through the slit on to the base panel of the washing machine and triggers the anti-flood detector. The machine then closes down and refuses to go on to “Rinse”.
After the water has evaporated the machine will run again. For example, we tried the machine straight on to “Rinse” yesterday and it started up and counted down normally for 2-3 minutes then stopped. By that time enough water had dripped on to the base plate to trigger the detector. We are fitting a new door seal. If it doesn’t work I’ll let you know!Re: SIEMENS XL1400 fault
OK – I’ve checked the brushes and there is plenty left on them and the ends are shiny. Any thoughts if it’s not the brushes?
Re: SIEMENS XL1400 fault
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve looked at it more closely and run another cycle with the machine empty.
What seems to be happening is that it is functioning normally up as far as “Rinse”. So when it is set to wash it fills with water, rotates the drum and pumps out the water in the normal way after the correct time period, whilst counting down correctly on the LED.
It all goes pear-shaped at the “Rinse” phase when the LED display goes blank and nothing further happens – although you can hear the sound of something turning over inside. This also happens when “Rinse”, “Spin” or “Empty” are selected as separate actions with the function knob.
Seeing as the drum is rotating normally during washing, would this rule out the brushes?
