There is a float at the bottom of the washer. See if it is stuck. It should move up and down freely. This activates the water shutoff when it reaches the proper level. If it is sticking it could allow the washer to overfill . If that is not the problem then I would look at the valve it activates itself.

If you are still trying to sort out this issue try the following.

From what you say then it is most likely the aqua sensor on the side of the dishwasher. The gurgling sounds that you hear are likely the drain pump running and the un-drainable water sloshing in the sump.

Verify that there is actually water going to the dishwasher( Basic step but often overlooked)

Next the inlet valve will have to be checked. This is the part where the water line from the house connects to the dishwasher, under the toe/kick panel. Remove power from the dishwasher. Disconnect the dishwasher electrical connections (2 wires) to the inlet valve and connect it (carefully to 110 V power) using a jumper wire. With 110V power the valve should open and water will flow into the dishwasher, if not then the fault is in the inlet valve.

If this checks fine then the fault is likely in the aqua sensor...

On the outer left side (viewed from front) there is a panel, Behind this panel there is a small clear(of light blue) plastic mechanism with hoses and wires attached( There is usually a yellow disk at the top about 6cm in diameter) this is a float and sensor assembly there is tells the control the water level and works as an emergency drain if there is an issue. There will be a red stick protruding downward to the base and a Styrofoam float on which the stick rests. This is a pan overflow sensor if the stick is too high the unit will go into drain and cut off the fill valve power. The yellow disk is a diaphragm which senses water height. This unit can become stuck with wear and hard water.

remove the front toe kick. you should have 6 torx screws. four in the top 2 in the front. your float switch will be in the front center .the float is a piece of styrofoam - the float many times is what you find jammed up making the unit believe it has water in the base

SOURCE: Dishwasher not drying

the dishwasher does not have a heating element to dry the dishes. If you wash glass or ceramic dishes and cups then the rinse cycle makes them hot enough to dry without a heating element but if you wash a lot of plastic this process does not work very well. Open the door after the load is washed and leave them to air dry for several hours and you will be fine.
The manual states that there is no heating element to dry dishes. The high heat content of porcelain, glass, or metal dishes enables them to get hot and stay hot long enough to get dry without a heater. Plastic does not have nearly as high a heat content so they cool down much more quickly and don't get dry.

The salt in the dishwasher compartment is flushed away in a single cylce

Salt is typically used in a dishwasher to regenerate the water softener. The water softener is a device that helps to remove hard water minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from the water that is used in the dishwasher. When the water is soft, it can more easily remove food particles and stains from dishes, resulting in cleaner dishes. The salt that is used in the dishwasher is typically added to the water softener compartment and is used over time to regenerate the water softener.
If you are observing that the salt in the dishwasher compartment is being flushed away in a single cycle, it could be caused by a few different issues:
  1. Overfilling: If the water softener compartment is overfilled with salt, it can cause the salt to be washed away during the wash cycle.
  2. Leak: If the water softener compartment is not properly sealed, water can leak out and flush away the salt.
  3. Incorrect type of salt: If the wrong type of salt is being used, it may not be compatible with the water softener and can wash away during the wash cycle.
  4. Water pressure is too high: High water pressure can cause the salt to be washed away.
  5. Clogged filter: If the filter in the water softener compartment is clogged, it can cause the salt to be washed away.
It's important to consult the manual of the dishwasher to understand if this is a common issue or if the problem is specific to your dishwasher. If the problem persists, it is best to consult a professional for repair or maintenance.

Siemens se25m275gb

Dishwashers tend to get stuck on wash cycle if the water temperature is not reaching the level the wash program expects it to reach. This could be due to faulty heater or thermostat or both.

One test is to run the dishwasher on a rinse cycle (normal water temperature) and see if it completes it.
Refer this site for location and cost of heater and thermostat

My dishwasher does not take water after switching on. I know that it has an Aquastopper. But I dont know where is it to activate it. I have Siemens Lady 45 Dishwasher.

@xronis69:
Probably the problem is to solve as easy as mine.

Did you ever consider that the error may be in front of the dishwasher? I didn't until I disassambled the washer and checked how it works. (As you also eventually tried to check the internet for a usermanual - you won't find maybe also none.)

This Lady's are build that easy, as every man would whish that all ladys work. ;)

You 've the round knob at the front of the dishwasher, this is some kind of "switching-clock".
This dishwasher (I don't know if model 45 is exactly the same, but it looks quite similar to mine) has no different washing programs, just ONE.

I always tried to "use" program "3", like the symbols suggested to me, that this would be for what I want to wash.
If you do so, the dishwasher starts in the middle of the washing-cycle and doesn't fill itself with water. It just wants to wash without water, as the water filling process starts in with the first step you can turn it to.

And what is also a bit "strange" for normal people, but maybe not for the real technical people. The "time-switching-device" rotates counter-clockwise. I thought it would do it clockwise, but never took the time to watch what it's doing. Mathematicaly speaking the clockwise direction is in technicians eyes the "wrong" direction, as it is mostly defined as the negative direction.

So, maybe you're the same "blind" than me. Maybe I'm just a bit stupid. ;)


Just ONE program, and counter-clockwise rotation of the "time-switching-device". Starting with the "1 program" fills the dishwasher with water, 2,3, and the following stuff don't do so (except the flushing symbol, but it doesn't wash, it just flushes the dishes.)

Long story short - mine works now like expected - without anything beeing broken.

Regards,
Harald

My siemens dishwasher pump seems to running constantly and will not stop when the door as it usually does any ideas

Hello,

This is an indication that the overfill float has been activated. The unit either has a clogged drain, or the fill valve is defective and letting too much water into the tub.

There is also a possibility of a leak underneath, perhap`s the wash motor or drain motor, but you`ll need to either have a look or call in a pro to check it over.

You can look with the aid of a flashlight by removing the access panel/kick plate at the very bottom. **If you are going to check on your own, shut the power off at the home service/breaker panel**

The kick plate will be fastened by 2 screws, one one each side to the left & right. Look for leaks around the drain pump, off to the left slightly from center, the wash pump, off to the right from center, and maybe the inlet/water fill valve, off to the left far from center.
(The wash pump`s have a known history of face seal wear and are prone to leak. Look for sign`s of water between where the motor and pump housing come together, i.e. water deposit/scale left behind).

The Bosch/Siemen D/W also have had issues with defective inlt/water valves failing, It`s a good idea to monitor the water level in the dishwasher throughout a cycle or when not in use to insure it isn`t filling when not energized or overfilling when in use to determine if this may be the cause.

Hope that helps, good luck.
