Re: Zanussi DES959

Tried the half open water valve suggestion and to no avail.
I’m thinking it may be a missing neutral as there is 230v at the valve but no return path it seem!?
Bit stumped now. Any one have any further suggestions 😕

Could you eloborate a bit? With power to the solenoid valve I’ve blown into the tube to raise the diagphram on the valve but it still doesn’t work.

Tested the solenoid, 3.71K ohms. Seems to work when there is voltage applied and I test between one side of the soienoid and earth.
I’ve a feeling the return path is missing somewhere, but where!?

Re: Zanussi DES959

Just as an update, power is at the water inlet valve but the valve doesn’t open, which to me indicates a break in the circuit somewhere. I’ve traced the cable someway through the dishwasher and it runs through a microswitch underneath the unit which works ok and from there I think it goes back up to the controller. The connections seem OK with no burnt or poor connections. Faulty controller perhaps??
