Lindnarden Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The dish washer (a Bosch SGS43E02) suddenly seems to not be filling up and, as a consequence, freezes in the middle of a programme. I've checked the water in and water out and they're both working and unclogged.If you pour a basin of water in by hand it kicks in again and washes, then drains - obviously this isn't an ideal way to use it !Is there some kind of float switch thing that causes the dishwasher to think that it is full already (or something) If so, how easy is it to access and/or repair........cheers,[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how this works but if it failed (by thinking that it is sensing too high a pressure drop or flow rate or whatever it senses) then it could prevent the machine from filling.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Dishwashers are not normally like washing machines: they don't "Fill".They work on the basis of re-cycling the water (normally) and spraying to clean the dirties.If you open the door in the middle of a cycle, there is little water actually inside: it should not flood out all over the floor!It could be the solenoid valve on the water inlet: these can stick or die.You can check it with a meter (for continuity in the coil) or even connect (carefully!) to 230 volts mains and see if it actuates.Thereafter it needs digital kit to analyse.
