i have had success with dishwashers that have a (frozen) motor this involves
1 turn off electrical supply and or remove plug from receptacle.
2 turn off water supply, usually under sink, hot water side.
3 remove the mounting screws that you can see under the lip of the ledge when dishwasher door is open,once these are removed
4 carefully pull dishwasher out mindful of the hot water supply line that is attached.
5 visually locate the main shaft, use vise-grips to determine if shaft spins freely if not use v_grips to turn shaft two turns or so, check by closing the appliance door and turning power / water back on then try running unit.
this technique will work for some, and only if a (frozen) motor is the problem. this is a temp fix but it is better than nothing.
thanx good luck.
there is a water leak in your dishwasher. Need to find the source of the leak. Usually a cracked hose or water leak through door gasket.
You can check this by turning off the water supply and mains power. Take dishwasher out from under bench if you can and tilt it back and forth a few times. Wait 10 minutes and turn back the power. Check if flood message has disappeared.
This means there is no water loading into the machine. Most common cause is a faulty water inlet valve.
You can test the power to the valve with a voltmeter. If there is power to the valves, then valves are bad. If no power to the valves, then there could be a problem with the selector switch or control board
E2 shows that the water level switch has been tripped or its faulty,interupt the programm and switch off the dishwasher then switch it on ,programm it again and start the washing cycle again,if the problem persist then test the water level switch for possible replacement
Check the instruction manual, Smeg often use the program lights to give an error code.
You'll have to first ensure that the valve is open where the supply
gets its water from the sink supply, and water is getting to the
dishwasher. There is a garden hose type swivel adapter after the valve,
right? Close the valve tightly- even if it scrapes the wood - and then
unscrew that hose coupling and see if the hose is full of water. Look
there for a strainer inside the hose that is clogged. Clean it. If that
is good, reconnect and ensure it's tight.Open the valve. Now check the
dishwasher to see if it's getting water. Then at the point where the
hose enters the dishwasher is a spring loaded hose ring coupling,
right? If not, and there's another garden hose adapter, remove that
(after turning off the water again)and see if there's a strainer there.
If water is supplied to the dishwasher okay, then it is probably the
electric solenoid valve inside the base of the dishwasher.
have a Smeg STX-45 dishwasher. After washing the utensils, machine is
not able to drain the water. Can you please tell me what could be the
problem. Is there any switch I need to press for the same or something
else. I have used the machine for the first time.
