The waste or drain tube is supposed to be looped high at the back to make an air gap.. Some water remains in the Dishwasher and prevents seals from drying out as well as any sewer gases from coming back into the dishwasher..have you checked the drain filter? Pump and hoses for obstructions? Is the house drain limiting the flow coming from the dishwasher? Those are some of the basic checks you will need to make to diagnose the problem.. Your pump may be damaged or something inside the pump casing may be limiting the flow of water of the impellor from rotating.. Hope this gives you a few ideas on how to approach this.. Good luck

My 17kg whirlpool x-pert is not spin drying

I had the same trouble with my whirlpool X-PERT and found that a switch was broken. It seems to be connected to the tub somehow (seems to act as an unbalanced switch or something) it is located in the top panel close to the main control board and protrudes down into the tub area. That was what was causing my own not to spin.

I hope you got yours already fixed cause the manual doesn't seem to identify this switch or the thousands of troubleshooting guides found online.

AEG 73630: wont take water in, cant pump water out, when choosing a program the timer seems to have changed minutes with seconds, and when choosing af program, the only thing happening is, af few spins...

The machine knows what the water level should be at every step of the program, so if its full when it should be empty, is not filling when it should be or is taking too long to fill or empty the program will abort and count down in seconds as you describe.
First - check the drain filter for blockage!! if clear, can you hear the drain pump running on 'drain' program? a chug chug chug noise. If not pump may be jammed or seized - or the drain tube maybe be blocked at the waste connection on the sink, etc. Or maybe the water supply pipes have blocked or got turned off? Possibly the waste pipe may not have been installed correctly and the machine is syphoning empty? ie the end of the waste pipe is lower than the water level in the machine - so it syphons empty like draining petrol from a petrol tank! That would empty the machine when it should be full.
Check all the basics of filling, draining and filter before suspecting anything else.

I have epson tx110 and all the lights keeps on flashing and says general error?

This error means that some mechanical parts of your printer is in trouble. This could be some of the causes:

1. The print head is stuck somewhere or is unable to move because of some blockage in the printer's bay.
2. If you are using a Continuous Ink System, then the tubes might have blocked the print heads from moving.

To resolve, turn OFF your printer. Remove such blockage then turn the printer back ON.

Regards,
JR

BUILT IN SMEG DISH WASHER ADP8132 FILLS WITH WATER THEN DRAINS AND CUTS OUT. TRYED NEW MOTOR AND PCB NO BLOCKAGE NO LEAKS PLEASE HELP

Does the water just disappear down the drain as fast as it fills, with no obvious pumping sounds?

If so, it might just be that the waste hose is routed wrong after it comes out the back of the dishwasher. It needs to loop up to somewhere near the top of the machine before coming back down to go into the drain. (These machines have no outlet valve - they rely on this high point in the hose to keep the water in, then use a pump to push it "over the hump" when they need to drain).

Washer-dryer not emptying

Remove the back pannel ( a whole load of screws i must say )
Then you will see at the bottom on the back of the drum where the filters connects... Remove the clip and check and remove any blockage....

Before opening it is possible to check if a blockage exist is to dicconect the waste pipe from the sink and lay it on the floor... Gravity forces the water to flow to the lowest point.. if no water comes out of the pipe then you definately have a blockage...
