Re: Smeg DWF66 not emptying + no error code – pls help

Hi there,

Well I got a UKW recommended engineer out and it turns out there was something wrong with the soap dispenser. I don’t know what was wrong with it as I was at work at the time but ‘dispenser coil’ seems the likely culprit. Why this would cause said problem I don’t know. Anyone know why?

So I’m the happy owner of a new soap dispenser and working dishwasher.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Re: Smeg DWF66 not emptying + no error code – pls help

Hi,

OK so I turned off the power and disconnected the aquastop for 30 mins and connected it all back up but the d/w still just buzzes for 0.5 sec and then stops. I remember when it was working properly that there was a small ‘clunk’ when I turned the ‘on’ knob to on. It doesn’t do that now. Any ideas if this is relevant?

Anything else I can try before calling in an expert?

Thanks.

Thanks again Penguin45 for the advice and info,

The drain pump looks fine (to an untrained eye) so I’ll try the aquastop next. BTW how would I tell if the pump’s knackered?

Wish me good luck as I don’t want to think how much a computer prob will cost me …….. 😥

Well I’ve taken out the drain pump (power off!) and disassembled it. No obvious problems. All clean. The pump seemed to turn OK (sort of springy between magnets, nothing grinding).

The drain hose seems fine as I have run lots of water through it.

Turned the bugger back on and still the same problem – Seems to empty for half a second and stop with no error code and just sits there.

Is there a chance it might be the aquastop and how can I check it isn’t?

Is there anything else I can check to sort this out?

Thanks!

Thanks Penguin45,

Thanks again.
