Re: PRIMA LPR 600

well guys dishwasher all fixed…..we only had to replace the hose as stated above and basically it was not the inlet valve as well, it was all down to the dishwasher just get emptying and we had to manually add the water before it had chance to empty. once the dishwasher realised it had water in it, it then proceeded to carry on with the cycle. so once we fixed the hose added the water manually it stopped beeping like mad on an F4 fault.

I hope all my ramblings and going on help you, as its been a nightmare to try and find what was wrong. but got there in the end.

take care and best wishes xxx

Re: PRIMA LPR 600

Re: PRIMA LPR 600

well guys just keeping you updated on the progress of this prima lpr600 nightmare of a dishwasher ha ha.

recap… split pump hose originally replaced with a pipe from a cosworth car. now this is the initial problem where it all started but had a knock on effect to other problems.

further problems once fixed the hose put on a cycle when got to the end it started beeping like crazy and appeared with fault 4, however f4 is a draining problem and there is no problem with any draining so we know that the fault code is incorrect.

the prima lpr600 works with a certain amount of water in the pipes always, its designed to stand with water still in the pipes even when not in use so what happened with ours is when we had the split pipe the water that was designed to stay in came out and even when tried to put on a cycle it started filling up but then just kept trying to empty until in the end it beeped like crazy and F4 happened again.

so what we did was put it on a cycle, 1st it starts to empty out the stagnant water that would have been in from a previous wash then it should start to fill up, but is dosent, so when it starts to fill up open the door and manually with a bucket fill it up to the seal obviously not more than the seal as it will start to come out, then shut the door, with ours it started to proceed to wash and empty like usual and not beep like mad, so once again when it was time to fill up with water we filled it manually with a bucket and it proceeded to carry on with the wash.

once full up, where all the water in the system had flushed out due to the hose spilt all this water was now back in so machine was running smoothly and did so for x3 cycles, then at the end of the cycle it stated flashing f4 fault again but we no this is totally wrong as there is no draining failure.

we never changed the inlet valve even thought it was giving no reading on the electric meter but researched into it a bit more.

basically the control panel could be dodgy now thus giving out the f4 failure but we are just going to keep on using the dishwasher and even at the end of every cycle it starts beeping as long as its at the end of the cycle and it washing the dishes and I know its not leaking i’ll just keep using it, but our next step in the mean time will be to find a cheap inlet valve and change that to see if any change with that.

I hope all my rambling on is helping you in some way and I will keep you posted on any further progress… but if you know more than me I would appreciate any help you can give. thank you xx

Re: PRIMA LPR 600

weve kept on trying to find the solution and come up with the water inlet valve, we tested it with a electric meter and its dead so now we are thinking the inlet valve is the problem why the dishwasher wont fill up, weve took of the pressure switch and cleaned that and tested that with an electric meter and that’s works ok, so the only problem we can think is the inlet valve, if any of you can shed any light on this I would appreciate your help thanks guys xx
