E8 - Defective alternate valve functioning
This alarm is generated when the programme starts and the timer card does not detect the signal
that the alternate valve is positioned.
This defect can be caused by:
- defective alternate valve
- electric connections are not properly positioned
- defective electric card

It is likely the moisture has got into the keypad or the controller has frozen.

Have you tried to turn the power off and on again?

Also try pressing p1 and p2 buttons together.

An Idea: the Overflow sensor or float is bad, stuck, disconnected and its messages to STOP filling aren't getting thru to the CPU

This is usually located in the right frony of the machine or in the side wall. Float types get gummed up with 1/2 dissolved soap powder (god what we do tho the water systems) see if it moves. Sensor types have a hole that feels or senses water. If clogged, they lie. Clean out with toothpick and blast with a bit of hot water and air. Retry

If fixed, let me know... if not, see the yellow pages for parts dealers ;-)

Cheers

You need to use a product called Lemi Shine. It works amazingly well. You can get it at your local grocery store.

Repair guy came out and after an hour of taking things to bits and not finding a leak , we managed to identify the problem as originating from a faulty door seal at the top door lock ( it was ever so slightly dented in/warped) which had caused the water to track through the door lock down into the machine and trip the electrics after 30 minutes in the cycle. He'd never heard of this happening before - just my luck!!
Door seal replaced and ( so far) everything working fine.

try this first is there still water in dishwasher if so your water pump is blocked or failed.
second check your tap connection has it got a flood lock device fitted to hose if so will have to replace hose.if none of these help you may need to replace pcb in extreme cases.
hope this helps.

Chec k if orifices in the spray arms are clogged, if lines are free and it is not sprayiong water, then yopu may need to check water lines and to replace the impeller pump.

I don't mean to make you sound stupid but it isnt a switch that you can use.

It is used in a dishwaher to make sure that the water doesnt over fill and spill over out of the dishwasher and electricute someone. it cuts off the water (when working corectly) and washes as normal or if it over fills it tells you and in your case it is error E2

you need to speak to a appliance repare shop to see what needs to be fixed or replaced.
Hopefully this has givin you some help

if you have any questions plese dont hesitate to ask

Pull it out and tip it on its front and you should be able to work from underneath, or remove the side panel. This appears to be an Australian model. We are in North America, so this link should work better for you. https://www.google.com/search?q=smeg+dwau6214x+drain+hose+replacement ..

Question moved from Cars and Trucks category. It may be that the water inlet valve that has failed, but it could also be that the main control board has failed. Due to the cost of boards, I would suggest you get professional diagnosis from a Smeg technician.

https://www.hunker.com/13408989/how-to-reset-a-smeg-dishwasher It must be the open and close Quickly that makes this work.

Check the options on the door of dishwasher. Some dishwashers allow you to select wash top rack or bottom or both. Check your settings.

Page 39 and 40 (page numbers, not site numbering) of the manual has your flash codes, but your flashing doesn't exist. Try a reset, disconnect from the mains overnight. If that doesn't fix it, you need a service call. https://www.manuals.ca/smeg/di612e/manual?p=41 ..

This is a possible problem with either the switch that prevents the washer over filling with water during a wash cycle or there is a leak in one of the pipes inside the machine. I would recommend you get an engineeer to look at it as you will need to get inside the machine to repair this.
