E2 - Tank temperature low Does the tank heating element work properly? Are the connectors correctly connected? Are the dishwasher feed voltage and current correct? Is the relay RL5 on the board disconnected or faulty? Dado

To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out. 2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. Dado

This is isolation for avoid condensation on outside stainless steel housing.
Why is this happend? I belive because too high temperature, poor quality, very old dishwasher....etc.

Yes the cold water pipe as the new models only have one supply. You connect the pipe to a cold water supply it then goes into the dishwasher and the machine heats the water up to the required temperature. Don't forget to fit the drain pipe into your waste pipe also to take the dirty water away.

ALARMS THAT STOP THE DISHWASHER A1 Want of water Is the water cock open? Does the water load solenoid valve work? Is the water feed flow a min. of 5 l/min? Is the water inlet filter clean? Is the load solenoid valve filter clean? Is the overflow inserted? Do the tank/boiler pressure switches work properly? C9 Automatic hood out of order Alarm codes for automatic hood type dishwasher (see paragraph 9.2.1 Alarm codes for automatic hood type dishwashers) C12 Tank level sensor out of order Are the connectors correctly connected? Are connector contacts cleaned? Does the air trap of the tank work correctly? Is the level sensor broken (replace it with a new one)? Alarm codes for automatic hood type dishwashers When the alarm C9 appears, to facilitate fault-finding a parameter providing a more detailed indication has been introduced. The parameter is C9 and is found in the ron family. The possible cause of the anomaly can be found (see next table) according to the value of the parameter C9. E.g.: With an automatic hood type the alarm C9 appears. Access the parameter C9 in the ron family. Assuming the value displayed is: 20 ? During lifting, the current absorbed by the lifting motor has exceeded the threshold. This can happen if a rack or other heavy material was placed on the hood. ALARMS THAT DON'T STOP THE DISHWASHER (SHOWN ON THE USER INTERFACE AT REGULAR INTERVALS) b1 Drain not efficient Has the overflow been removed? Is the water drain blocked? Is the drain pump blocked? Are the air trap and tank pressure switch clean? Is there a constriction in the drain tube? Is the pump breather pipe returning to the tank clogged or constricted? Does the tank pressure switch work properly? Is there a hole in the drain tube (only for versions with drain pump)? b2 Overflow alarm Is the water drain blocked? Are the air trap and tank pressure switch clean? Does the tank pressure switch work properly? Is the load solenoid valve blocked? (see electrical wiring diagram - YV1 Filling solenoid valve) Is the load solenoid valve relay stuck? (see electrical wiring diagram - RL5 relay of AP2 board) C1 Boiler temperature rise too fast Does the boiler level sensor work properly? The boiler could be empty. Are no-original power resistances installed? C2 Boiler temperature too high Has the boiler temperature been changed (btC - increased above 90°C)? Has the software alarm value been modified (bH,)? Does the boiler level sensor work properly? Boiler relay/relays sticked (see electrical wiring diagram - RL1/ RL2/ RL3 relays of AP2 board)? C3 Tank temperature too high Is the feed water above 60°C? Has the software alarm value been modified (tHi)? Is the rinse water temperature too high? Is the tank relay stuck (see electrical wiring diagram - RL4 relay of AP2 board)? C4 Tank temperature sensor out of order Is the temperature sensor broken or disconnected (see electrical wiring diagram - ST1 Tank probe)? Is the temperature sensor connector correctly inserted? C5 Tank temperature sensor out of order Is the temperature sensor short-circuited (see electrical wiring diagram - ST1 Tank probe)? C6 Boiler temperature sensor out of order Is the temperature sensor broken or disconnected (see electrical wiring diagram - ST2 Boiler probe)? Is the temperature sensor connector correctly inserted? C7 Boiler temperature sensor out of order Is the temperature sensor short-circuited (see electrical wiring diagram - ST2 boiler probe)? C10 Rinse temperature sensor out of order (only on machines with temperature sensor on the rinse circuit) Is the temperature sensor broken or disconnected? Is the temperature sensor connector correctly inserted? C11 Rinse temperature sensor out of order (only on machines with temperature sensor on the rinse circuit) Is the temperature sensor short-circuited? C13 Rinse pump out of order (the water level of the boiler does not decrease) Does the rinse pump work correctly? Is there any bottleneck in the hose, that connect the air trap and the board sensor? WARNING: Alarms C2, C6 and C7 lock the boiler temperature control. Alarms C3, C4 and C5 lock the tank temperature control. In the case of alarms C6 and C7, the boiler waiting phase is not executed (the rinse may be performed with cold water) and, during the initial warm-up and subsequent rinses ( btF > 0 ), the boiler heating phase is not executed. In the case of an open probe error ( C4, C6 e C10 ), the displayed temperature is 10°C In the case of a shorted probe error ( C5,C7 e C11 ) , the displayed temperature is 99°C. E1 Communication error Is the connection between main board and control panel correct? Are the connectors correctly connected? Are connector contacts clean? E2 Tank temperature low Does the tank heating element work properly? Are the connectors correctly connected? Are the dishwasher feed voltage and current correct? Is the relay RL4 (see electrical wiring diagram - RL4 relay of AP2 board) on the board disconnected or faulty? E3 Boiler temperature low Does/do the boiler heating element/s work properly? Are the connectors correctly connected? Does the possible remote control switch connected to the heating element work correctly? Is there power at the remote control switch input terminals? Do boiler relays (see electrical wiring diagram - RL1/ RL2/ RL3 relays of AP2 board) work properly? CAUTION: IF THERE IS A MALFUNCTION ON RELAY RL1 AND THE BOILER HEATING ELEMENTS ARE FED BY MEANS OF A REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH, THE BOARD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED; JUST MOVE THE BOILER HEATING ELEMENT CONNECTOR TO ONE OF THE TWO FREE POSITIONS ON THE BOARD. CAUTION: WHEN ONE BRANCH OF THE HEATING ELEMENT DOES NOT WORK AND THE OTHER TWO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION, ON REACHING THE SET TEMPERATURE VALUE, ALARM 3 DISAPPEARS AND REAPPEARS IN THE SUBSEQUENT RINSE PHASE. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN A PHASE IS MISSING.Dado

Most dishwashers (especially built in dw) in the bottom has microswitch which is activated if water leaks and runs drain pump to prevent flooding. Dado

Tank temperature low. Dado

You have snaps for assemblying bottom tray to base. Dado

check door lock

what brand is it ? then google the brand and the fault no. and you should get an explanation of the code.

The vibration is probably the electric valve that opens and closes the water supply valve on the dishwasher underside. If you have set a few dishwashers before, you may be able to remove yours to access the solenoid valve on the bottom of your dishwasher and replace this part for a few bucks, then reset the dishwasher and test. The buzz/no water symptom points directly to this part being your problem. DO NOT work on your dishwasher without some previous knowledge of dishwashers in general. The electrical power must be shut off/unplugged, the water supply must be shut off and the drain hose must be disconnected before removal and repair. Be careful and good luck.

The machine goes on and makes the usual noises but no water is coming in. The water is on and the hose is fine. It is ZT685

Your dishwasher is a sophisticated device that registered most failures. The End of cycle LED flashes if there are alarms memorized. So, count how many times the End of cycle LED flashes. For example: One flash - i10, the problem with water intake Two flashes - i20, a problem wit drain water Three flashes - i30, activated anti-flooding device ..... and so on Dado
