Is my zanussi aquapulse de 4744 dw hot or cold water fed ?

JMHO, but guessing it's probably better to connect hot water to the DW. It could be taxing on the DW to heat cold water every time. At least with hot water available, the DW wouldn't have to work so hard and maybe your DW will last longer--or at least the heating element probably would. Can't imagine the cost of using pre-heated water (from a hot water heater) would be extravagant as a DW probably doesn't use that much water each time.

..

Unless this model has the hot water inlet you could connect the inlet only to the cold water line , otherewise it will be indicated at the inlet hose end.

hi
got same probleme with my aquapulse 4744 slimline

i have this now- another site suggested its the heater, or rater the circuit board. I have just taken it apart and have two dry solder points that are identified quire easily by soot around the area. so now off to find my soldering iron!!

Where does the dishwasher connect to hot water? If it is connected to cold it must be changed. From your description, the water is coming from a long way off and has to warm the pipes as it travels to the dw. The dw should have a heater to bring the water up to temp after filling before it runs, if this heater is not working, the first run will be cold and the next hot because you have drawn enough water through the pipes to bring hot water to the dw.
1. Change where the dw gets hw.
2. Run hw in the sink before allowing the dw to start (if connected to same line).
3. Fix the dw's water heater.

Three possible fixes. Good luck.

Turn off the hot water supply to the DW. Take a pot or pan. Fill the DW tub with COLD water, pump it out. Repeat this COLD water and pump out several times until the suds are gone. HOT water only makes the suds worse and prevents the pump from expelling the water.

Do you have it hooked up to hot or cold water supply? Most residential dishwashers don't come equipped with a booster heater. If it's connected to the cold side, you'll have to replace the angle stop with a single outlet stop and replace the hot angle stop with a double outlet stop. This should help out, if not, make sure you have hot water in the faucet before starting the dishwasher. Most dishwashers need at least 120 degree hot water supply.

all dishwashers i am aware off have their own heater and are better connected to cold not hot water

Wash the dishes by hand and view them again 1 hour later. If the dishes are still cloudy it's too late you have been running in hard water for years and etched the dishes. Salt only regenerates the Xeolite beads inside the DW. They collect minerals until they can no longer hold more, then the DW washes the minerals off the beads with the salt. Check if the DW is set correctly to the appropriate water hardness of your town. READ THE OWNERS MANUAL. PS> 1. You can't use regular salt. 2. Is the salt dry? Salt must be added into water so it creates solution (brine).

Zanussi Aquapulse dishwasher - is filled with water inside, is not washing and the lights keep flashing on and off - has anyone any idea what may be wrong with it?
