Re: CDA CW496 6 flash error code
Flow meter failure – extensively documented through the forum, but I’ll explain it again.
This is a Whirlpool-built appliance, it uses a waterwheel flow meter device as part of the fill process. If the computer does no receive signals from it within a fixed period of time, you get a fault.
Fill matrix with the flow meter in it is located under the left hand side panel. Often a good clean of the contacts will restore function. The device can fail completely if the reed switch breaks, in which case, you need one of these:
Stay safe, power off if you intend to repair this yourself.

Re: IGNIS ADL 334 fitted dishwasher fault – flashing light
Constant flashing is F1 – the ntc sensor, or temperature sensor failure. They are notoriously unreliable.
Replacement is HERE. It’s a twist fit from underneath.
Power off if you intend to deal with this yourself.

Re: Candy bleeps and lights flash
Flood protection activated – the tray under the machine is full of water. Power off, drain tray, find leak.
This is one of the hated Chinese machines, BWT – the only thing Candy about it is the badge.

Re: Zanussi DW908 Dishwasher not heating water/drying
Thermostat should read open circuit (infinite resistance) – yours is reading closed, so we have a culprit.

I’ve pondered this comment and what it might really mean before replying. I’ll freely admit that I have learnt plenty of technical stuff from the site – indeed, I found it in the first place by typing “Zanussi error code” into Google in a fit of peek having come second to the first orange button machine I’d come across.
However, I have a logical mind and solve most problems from first principals, quickly learning that “Error Codes” are no substitute for testing, learning and experience.
Mores to the point, I’ve learnt a huge amount about the industry through UKW; how it works and how it largley doesn’t. As an Independent sole trader, I had no idea about that unique form of slavery called “work providers”, for instance.
What I have really had brought home to me repeatedly over the past 5 years is human nature; just how generous, selfish, helpful, obstructive, friendly, rude, arrogant, humble, bright, ignorant and all sorts of shades of gratitude people will demonstrate.
I have formed genuine friendships through UKW, and there’s one or two whom I wouldn’t miss if they stepped in front of a bus. Before any of the site comedians step in, I’ll state right now that the second group does not include Martin. We may not see eye to eye over many things, but I wish him no harm and enjoy the debate. Most of the time.
I’d like to think that I do my best, along with so many others. I don’t think you can do much more if you genuinely care.
Simon says UKW helped to save his business – fantastic. I’d like to state for the record that one of my suppliers (!) kept me afloat many years before UKW was thought of and I was stupid enough to bank with Yorkshire Bank. They’re still going strong and he knows who he is – to this day I’m still grateful.
There are good people doing good things in this business, for the benefit of all of us. Let’s just get on with it and try not to have hysterics about petty details.

Re: Bosch SGS43CO2GB/35 no lights – dead
Once again, all posters are reminded to read and understand the Forum Rules, which are posted for everybody’s safety, guidance and clarity in what the forums can offer.
In view of the information posted so far, using a test meter to chase the wiring through the power switch and door switch into the PCB should prove continuity. If it’s there, the culprit will be the PCB. You may hit lucky and find that there is a burnt-out solder joint in the power supply, but don’t bet on it.
Replacement PCB is p/no 491651, about £85 I think.
Micsout, it’s not personal. If you get a shock trying to solve this, it will not come back to advice given on this forum. We also have future readers of these threads to consider.
Good luck with it,
