Siemens dishwasher errors

Siemens dishwashers are very popular among users, as they are characterized by excellent functionality, high detail and interesting design, and thanks to a huge assortment and a wide price range, appliances are available to every average buyer.

Despite the decent build quality, users sometimes encounter functional failures that are displayed on the displays in the form of incomprehensible ciphers and codes. It is possible to fix the problems yourself if you familiarize yourself with the values ​​of the encodings.

Almost every Siemens dishwasher is endowed with a self-diagnosis function, thanks to which the device immediately stops working in the event of a malfunction and signals this with a special code. To decipher and further troubleshoot a problem or malfunction, it is enough to understand the meaning of this or that error code.

To check how serious the breakdown is, or is it just a failure in the system, it is enough to reboot the household appliance, which consists of several stages:

• disconnect the equipment from the mains;
• wait 20-30 minutes;
• connect the device to the mains.

If the code disappears after restarting, then you can continue to use the dishwasher as usual. If the error reappears on the display, you must correctly decipher the code and try to fix the breakdown yourself.

So, below are the most common error codes encountered by users of Siemens dishwashers.

• E09 is a signal about a breakdown of the heating element (heating element). This is typical for devices with a flow heater. Parts of the part can fail as a result of a short circuit or burnout. To eliminate the breakdown, you need to replace the burned out contacts or replace the heating element.
• E15 means the Aquastop protection option has been triggeredwarning about leaks in the device. Perhaps water is found in the pan (200 ml is enough to accumulate). You need to find a leak and reset the water manually or by means of improvised means. This can be a tank, a drain or inlet hose connection, or the sealing rubber on the hopper door.
• E19 indicates a malfunction of the detergent drawer.
• E22 - this means that there are no contacts between the pump and the device module. It is necessary to diagnose the electronic control of the equipment, as well as check the health of the pump itself.
• E24 is a drain problem. Perhaps there is a problem with the sewage system, the drain hose is clogged and needs cleaning, or there is a kink somewhere. There are special products for cleaning the hose and filters.
• E25 indicates an incorrect water drainage process. The reason for this may be a normal blockage in the filter or drain hose, or perhaps the drain pump is blocked, or the siphon is blocked. After a thorough cleaning, everything will be restored.
• E27 signals about insufficient voltage in the mains. This sometimes happens in the evening when the network is congested. The optimal solution and prevention of this will be the installation of a voltage stabilizer.

Along with the error codes on the display, users sometimes encounter the fact that in the process of work, the indicator where the crane is drawn turns on and lights up. This indicates insufficient water supply.There may be several reasons: the filter meshes are clogged, or the water supply solenoid valve is out of order. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to clean the filters with a brush, and also rinse the hose.

It also happens that the display flashes, and the unit does not start working. The reason for this may be incorrect closing of the door, loose fit. In this case, a malfunction of the door lock or failure of the door sensor is possible.

Users of Siemens dishwasher modules that are not equipped with an LED display also sometimes face all sorts of malfunctions and functional failures. It is possible to determine the type of breakdown and eliminate the causes only if the problem is correctly identified.

Here are the most common mistakes.

• LED "Crane" is on, which notifies of a poor water supply or even a complete cessation of its flow. The reasons may be different: you forgot to open the water supply tap, the water supply hose is clogged, the pressure is weak, the water level sensor is out of order. In addition, if the hopper door is not closed tightly, the program will not start at all.
• The "Crane" indicator flashes. This indicates a technical problem with the unit. Service testing is required to identify the problem.
• The LED for the presence of special salt is blinking, which speaks of excessive scale or plaque on the heating element. A heating element with scale can negatively affect the functionality of the unit.

In addition, after a long period of operation, users sometimes observe intensive flashing of all indicators at the same time, which is a sign of an incorrectly closed hopper door. It is recommended to reset all settings and restart the machine again.

If all attempts to self-diagnose the malfunction of the Siemens dishwasher were in vain, specialist assistance will be required. Contacting the service center or the master is necessary when:

• an error code E01 appears on the screen, indicating a breakdown of the electronic control unit;
• code E2 or E02 is displayed, which indicates serious problems with water heating;
• code E6 appears, which signals a breakdown of the aquasensor that controls the quality and hardness of the water.

Sometimes serious breakdowns may be indicated by intensive blinking of all indicators at the same time or by the lamps for replenishing detergents. Do not repair items such as the drain pump, electronic board and engine yourself.

In order for the Siemens dishwasher module to serve for a long time and efficiently, it is necessary to use the device for its intended purpose, do not overload it, do not use adapters and extension cords when connected to the network, and also provide proper care. Here are the basic rules.

• Regular ventilation of the hopper. Leave the appliance open to dry after each wash cycle.
• Control of detergents and auxiliaries. Rinse aid and salt must always be present in the dishwasher compartments, as these products prevent limescale and white deposits from forming on the unit parts.
• Cleaning all filters. The dishwasher module is not a waste disposer, so small food residues accumulate, overloading the filtration system. The drain system must be cleaned every 6 months.
• Periodic washing of the machine. Once a month, it is necessary to flush the device using special means.
