Re: Ikea Whirlpool DWF 415 S persistent F2 error (overfillin
Just seen your above post “hvc123”, but it’s not worthwhile, as completely nil response on the other forum, which with only response here being “You sure it’s level?” equals no help at all. I’m by no means an expert but think I’d have spotted a level issue myself. Seems some DIY Forums are not all they’re cracked up to be – where is all the ‘expert’ advice supposed to be available?

After further research, assume problem is either with Water Inlet solenoid valve, Fill chamber matrix (flowmeter?) or Diaphragm pressure switch, possibly which either need cleaning out, or may have failed?
As no-one has posted any answers or suggestions since my OP, it looks like no-one here has any answers then? Disappointing. 🙁
Have therefore had to post issue on another DIY forum for help. :eeek:
Re: Ikea Whirlpool DWF 415 S persistent F2 error (overfillin
Has no-one got any suggestions as to cause of my persistent overfill problem?? 🙁
I’ve assumed it’s not the same issue as Dave_Conway’s 27 May 2005 described “Smeg And Others E2 Dishwasher Error”, as Whirlpool components & layout are different, with no secondary water level switch (except the drip tray float) that I’m aware of.
And because I only inherited the machine, I was hoping to attempt a repair myself :eeek: with some expert guidance, if the problem component could be identified and was not too costly, rather than pay an engineer call-out & repair charge, which would probably come close to a new machine cost anyway.
Also, I do like to have a go and get my hands dirty sometimes, having managed to successfully replace the drum seals & bearings on a Philips 1400 washing machine before. 😯
So if no assistance from this forum is forthcoming, I may as well scrap it and replace, if can’t fix myself! 😥
So, any ideas, anyone?

Yeah, it’s level all round, feet are correctly set as it’s built into a kitchen cupboard appliance housing unit.
Since OP I have done some more testing – during a Prog 2 run, after filling, it started leaking through overflow pipes, when I opened main door, water level was up to underneath of lower spray arm and bottom of door! Surely this is much too high, could this be due to Water Indicator/Level failure?
