How do I get to the thermostat for a candy a8001 dishwasher to replace it?

The cycle settings vary from 40 degrees Celsius to 65. However, the water is staying cold through the whole cycle. Grease and milk based food not cleaning from dishes properly.

These come as several parts. Not sure if all are available anymore as Candy parts. But you can get replacement Hoover parts to fit.

Main basket from Candy
Candy DWI 160W UK Dishwasher Basket

Cutlery basket from Candy
Candy DWI 160W UK Universal Cutlery Basket

The Upper and Lower baskets may not be available from Candy but Hoover replacements are
Candy Use HVR41022779 Lower Basket

Best to ask Candy support to provide pictures of the parts for comparison with your model or purchase or a refund policy if not suitable.

There is another site worth checking (but prices seem high)

E3 - Water heating time out or fault

The dishwasher has failed to heat with water in a reasonable time or has failed to detect the water heating element.

Check water heating element wiring
Check water heating element
Check wiring to main control module

Dado

the only things is the TIMER: CAN BE FAULTY, maybe is stuck, not completely the cycle.
Clean the contact with special spray, loose the wires, replace burn wires, or break wires.

Most probably the filter is blocked.

It is possibly blocked or has debris inside.

Remember you will have to catch the water be prepared.

cut the power to the unit and see if it releases the locking mechanism,then its in the control board circuitry that keeping power on it all the time as if in use with the door closed

lock maybe locked put something in lock slot pull handle and pull on lock to release. if it does it again look at hing pins. pick up on outer door edge if moves bad pin

The problem is hard water. Go to www.dishwasherfilter.com. They have a new product out that solves this problem once and for all. It filters the water entering your dishwasher and removes the hard minerals that cause these spots. Very affordable and guaranteed to leave your dishes looking amazing every time.

the problem is your control board (main electronic board in the console) is no good. by shutting the power off to the unit you are "resetting" the board which gives you temperary relief from the problem replace the main board and you will have no further problems let me know how you make out

It sound that the problem is cause the water level switch. The switch level is usually a diaphragm device with a small clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. I am not familiar with this specific machine, but if you will open the rear panel you will find it easily. Clear tube first from any obstruction, In case it doesn't help, disconnect the wires from the unit (you should disconnect first machine's power cable !!!!!) and measure with a multi-meter on its tugs for continuity and disconnection while you are inhale and blow to its tube. In case it doesn't react, you should replace it. Good luck !
