Re: ESL 624 leaks from door when washing

I tried to raise the front of the dishwasher by a few mm but it still leaks – I think I’ll try replacing the main seal first to see if it helps.

[mikepaterson]

I am thinking that the water must be getting past the seal somewhere – but which seal.

My guess is it is the main seal rather than the bottom one, but I am uncertain whether the bottom seal should be the full width of the appliance door – it seems to be a few mm short each side.

Any comments on this, or the level that the water should be at?

Cheers

OK – I have tried a couple of things. I reduced the rear hight to tilt it back to see if it made a difference – it did not make any difference so I do not think the water level is too high. I have noticed that on Rinse and hold it never ever leaks, but it only leaks on a wash cycle after about 10 minutes.

The water level seems OK – when I open it mid cycle it sems to be well away from the front door once it has settled down.

No it doesn’t seem to be foaming.

AI see – in this case they seem to let water in to the back – perhaps the water level is too high after all !

Thanks very much, I have taken the appliance door off and it seems that water gets into the channel at the back via the 2 cutouts in the bottom runner seal, and also water that drips down from the sides into the same area.

This area seems to potentially be the cause of the leak as it does fill up a fair bit even though the water level inside the machine appears to be OK.

Any suggestions? – Is this normal? The cutouts in the rubber seal are there for a reason, but seem perhaps to be the cause….

Thanks again

Please does anybody have any ideas on how to check the pressuere as suggested by bzz67?

Many thanks

Thanks Simon – the stainless steel lower arm looks good with no visible splits.

Does anybody have hints on checking the pressure system please?

Many thanks

Re: ESL 624 leaks from door when washing

Thanks,
The water level does not appear too high.

I took off the “fitted-in” door and you can see that water appears behind thebottom seal – which is not suprising as it seems to be designed to do this with its two cutouts towards the center.

I’ll check the pressure anyway – I have already cleaned out everything I could – what should I be looking for – a blockage in a pipe perhaps, or is there a float mechanism?

Cheers for your help

Re: Servis M6015 will not always spin and does not fill now

Thanks – I thought that was what you meant but wanted to be sure. The PCB is new – I bought it from this site only 3 months or so ago and it looks to be perfect still.

It does seem to be a problem with it though – do new ones fail easily?

Cheers

Sorry, please could you explain that to me in easier terms?
Many thanks
Mike

[mikepaterson]

Cheers again for such speedy help!

[mikepaterson]

by module – do you mean the PCB, or a part of it?
