Re: Ikea/Electrolux Renlig DWT 160 3 beeps on starting.

Today I managed to get the dishwasher out and took the side panels off. The base was filled with about half an inch of stagnant water as expected which was drained out.

Following this I tried the machine again. The alarm does not sound anymore, the program starts with the discharge pump running for about 10 seconds but then nothing when the water inlet is supposed to open. I ensured the flood float was not stuck (which it wasn’t) and tried again with no success. There is no clunk or humming from the water inlet solenoid. I metered the solenoid and get about 3 kohms so it is not O/C. I disconnected the hose at the dishwasher end and verified I have water at the valve. I unplugged the leads to the solenoid and started the machine with my multimeter set to measure AC voltage. It then goes back into flood alarm mode with the 3 beeps. Reconnecting the solenoid returns the ‘no water flowing’ condition.

I see a blue lead going straight from the flood float switch to the inlet solenoid. Is there anything else required to reset the machine or have I got a problem with the inlet solenoid and/or the float switch? Thanks in advance.

Re: Candy CDB 126 – Programs not resetting or setting

Thank you – and please accept my apologies in nor replying sooner. A good dose of servisol did the trick along with whizzing the switch back and forth a few times (with the mains off!),
