Dishwasher Siemens won't start, instead the on/off button beeps.

[Estel74]

Some dishwashers need to be reset after a fault etc, e.g. pressing / holding a button (e.g. a START button) for a few seconds. I don't know if this would apply to your model, possibly worth trying. Otherwise sorry I'm out of ideas.

Hehe no problem. I've tried that. There is a sign saying hold 3 sec to reset but nothing happens.

Is there a float switch in the base that has, been dislodged/ not put back correctly?

Yes there is a float that I purged and set back in the right position. Still no LED activated and this noise on the button.

Can you take a picture of the "Shell" removed ?
(Are there any push buttons that may have been left pressed in "not straight")

Here are the pictures on the shell removed:

I tried disconnecting the left yellow cables but the beeping from the attached button is still on. I guess the juice is coming from the other side. No button are left pressed, they all stay flush.

Then you are my savior?? Well I removed the draining pump then I cleaned it and I put it back in. The problem happened the first time I removed the pump. Then I removed it 2 other times to see if I had done something wrong. Not taken appart, I just remove the bottom shell to access the pump. The DW doesn't care about opened doors. Normally when the door is open it's when you can do the setting. The LEDs are on and then when you close it the program starts.
Thanks for your help!

Well I did call someone, many companies actually lol. Nobody wants to come due to the Covid . Maybe the fuse can be a lead but I cannot find it. I'm just wondering whether the button would be beeping if the fuse was burnt.

I'm not surprised they weren't keen on visiting. They will only be doing call outs for essential stuff like cookers and fridges. Nobody should have to risk infection to fix a dish washer. In the big scheme of things it's not that hard to do the pots in the sink.

Hi,

I am totally desperate, looking for advice. With the Covid, nobody wants to come home to repair my dishwasher. It is a Siemens SN65E003EU/43.



I had a problem with the draining pump which I remove and cleaned. Once I plugged it back in, nothing happen and the dishwasher won’t start. Instead the on/off button just beeps every seconde and the reset doesn’t work either.

I couldn’t find a similar problem anywhere else and I hope I will find my savior here! ?

Thank you in advance for saving my life. I am an alone mother of 3 and I am at my wits end…

Did it stop in the middle of the wash cycle? Did you have to drain the tub manually?
Dishwasher wash cycles are controlled by cam and switch timer units. Perhaps the timer unit is still set in the middle of a wash cycle and at a point where it expects the tub to be full of water and it's empty instead. There are pressure switches that tell the program controller whether there is water in the tub or not. Perhaps that is the source of the conflict. You should be able to turn the timer manually. If you can locate it try turning it manually. Don't force it though. You may damage the plastic gears inside the timer motor. I always remove the timer motor before turning the timer manually. You must switch the power off first. Turn the timer manually a revolution. Then power it up again and press the start button and see what happens. This works on commercial dishwashers. I have not worked on domestic dishwashers. But they are generally the same from a cycle management perspective. Give that a go but only if you feel you can do this safely. Otherwise? Sink and suds works fine. At least until you can get someone in.

Dishwashers etc. haven't used cam timers in years! They are far too expensive to manufacture compared to electronic controls, which this dishwasher has. They also often use flow counters and float switches rather than pressure switches.
