Hi my Servis M4905 Dishwasher has stopped working properly, when you set the programme and close the door it seems to start its cycle but after a few minutes it stops all the lights come on except the first one which flashes on and off. The other day it tripped the electric. Do you think it may be the module which has gone faulty

Hi it may be that the heating element has a fault in other words short circuit, you will need an electrician or a service engineer to check that, as the water fills into the washer it then tries to heat the water first to carry out further duties in the cycle. I hope that this message might help you eric

Easy one first try this to see if it helps

Water pre-heating
Your dishwasher may pre-heat the water. If so, and if the water entering the dishwasher is cool, the heater may take up to half an hour to heat the water.

To avoid the wait, increase the incoming water temperature before turning on the dishwasher. Do that by running the kitchen sink faucet until the water runs hot. Or increase the temperature of the hot water to the entire house at the hot water heater.

Warning! To lessen the risk of scalding, don't set the hot water heater temperature higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have the same problem. Having spoken to an engineer I have been told that the controller has gone. £120 for a new one plus fitting. So you are looking at a £200 bill to repair. Not worth it ???

SOURCE: KitchenAid Dishwasher Door Pops open during cycle

The problem seems to be the loosening of the screws that hold the interior stainless steel skin to the door frame--not the latch.

With the door in the open position you should find a total of twelve screws (5 on each side and 2 on top at each side of the latch). The screws have a particular type of head which may require a trip to the hardware (its a $1,000 dishwasher take the time to get the right screwdriver). They are called TORX screws the size on my dishwasher was a T 15. These type of screw heads were designed to fit automated torque drivers at the factory that set the screws to the proper tension. So some care should be given when you retighten them. Turn until the screw is snug and there no movement of the inner door skin but don't over tighten. Giving it that extra 1/4 turn can be enough to strip the screw out and create a bigger problem.

Yes--you shouldn't have to be doing this to a KitchenAid appliance that cost this much--but I suspect that this will become a feature of periodic maintenance. The heating and cooling generates enough movement that overtime these screws work themselves out. My wife who was the once to make the right diagnosis noticed that the screws at the bottom were almost entirely out.

SOURCE: Hotpoint BF1620 Integrated dishwasher not working

Lets try the following hope this works

1.- unplug the appliance, isolate it from the electric supply.
2.- Remove the kitchen unit plinth and check inside the inspection panels below the door to see if there is water in the base.

If there is, sponge it out and then try the machine again.

DD24DCX7 Dishwasher - Top Drawer Not Working

Hi Brendan,
The dishwasher will stop mid cycle if the door is not closed properly, please ensure that the door is shut firmly and the latch engages fully.

Also a broken door latch, faulty control panel or failed electronic control board could be causing the problem.

Hope this helps.
Best,
Dan

Taken From the Manual (https://media3.neff-international.com/Documents/9000816278_I.pdf)
If the appliance stops during dishwashing or does not start for no obvious reason, first run the Abort

Terminating the programme (Reset)
1. Open the door.
2. Press START button 9 for approx. 3 sec. until all displays go out.
3. Close the door.
The remaining programme sequence for draining the residual water takes approx. 1 minute.

Why won't my dishwasher register that the door is closed?

Hi your probably got a crook or faulty micro switch which is linked in series with the control circuit that registers the programme to wash. In simplified terms the switch is stuck in an open circuit configuration and won't allow the wash programme to commence as a safe guard against water splash when the door is open.
check for correct door alignment and listen carefully when you close the dishwasher door to hear if the micro switch clicks. If it does not suggestbyoungetbit looked at by a professional because the time involved to pull it all apart just is not worth it because it could be more than just a micro switch. That's just a primary fault that can occur. If you monitor what the dishwasher does when you first switch it on, many models indicate the fault condition from the control panel which you can search readily from the net. Best of luck with it but if in doubt get it looked at professionally. Cheers

Electrolux dishwasher

Hello - The issue may lie with the door latch; a door switch is used to start and stop your dishwasher. It's a safety feature that won't allow water to flow with the door open. With a faulty door switch, there is a chance your dishwasher won't start at all. Dishwasher door switches are about an inch long. They are usually black but can be red. There are metal prongs on the body of the switch called terminals. Some door switches have two terminals and some have three. If your door switch is OK, check the timer assembly. This controls when and how long power is sent to other controls on your dishwasher. If these controls don't receive power, they won't work. The timer assembly contains a motor. Check this motor as well. It is often cheaper just to replace the timer motor rather than the complete assembly. My last suggestion is to check the cycle selector switches. These switches indicate cycles for washing, drying, and setting the temperature of the water. If one of your switches is the problem your dishwasher may not start. Dishwasher cycle selector switches tell the timer which cycle to run by opening and closing electrical circuits. Most selector switches are six to eight inches long. They are usually black and have terminals. By testing each one of these parts with an ohmmeter you should be able to determine why your dishwasher is not working. It is possible for other parts to fail but these are the most common parts to check. If any proves to be ineffective, I strongly suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately.

My Whirlpool DU1055XTSQ has stopped working. The

Check that the door switch is operating properly, open and close the door a few times, push in on the door with a good amount of force while trying to start the machine, the door switch will not let control power to the panel if it is not getting triggered, to let the processor know that the door is closed and it can start the cycle.

Good Luck !

Open the dishwaser while still filling now keeps going to error

After reading a few of the other Haier models troubles, I pulled the unit out and tip it at 45 degrees backwards for around minute. Water pored from the back of the unit, once cleaned water up reinstalled unit and all seems to be back in working order.
