Commonly leak from door seal- check seal for rips, notches. Also common to leak from the black retainer that the door seal sits it-remove the seal (they just pull off) and shine a torch from inside the dishwasher around the back of the seal retainer, and see if there are any gaps around the outside of the seal retainer. Repair with silicone sealant if any gaps. Other things to check- check the screws that hold the top basket runner on are tight- there are two holes in the runners, move runner until you can see screw, check they are tight. Also check water level is not too high inside machine whenits running- there are three vertical lines on the bottom spray arm support tube- water level should not be above top line. If still leaking, call in the experts!! Good luck!!

Our Simpson Silencio 850 dishwasher - the detergent draw is not opening when operating on any of the cycles. Has just recently been happening. Can anyone suggest what might be causing it?

mine did that too. It is not a simple fix, I can not afford a new dishwasher so I did this: I attached a small mesh bag (about the size of a deck of cards) to the bottom rack in the dishwasher. I put a Finish power ball in the bag and ran the dishwasher in the usual way. It has been working fine that way and saved my dishwasher.

Simpson Silencio 850 dishwasher,model No. 52B850SH A lot of times after a wash cycle has finished the dishwasher does not empty out all the water and leaks out water from somewhere onto the floor in front...

Hello.


Is there a puddle in front of your dishwasher? Often this is a relatively easy problem to solve. At best, all you need to do is tighten a few fittings or level the dishwasher so water doesn't slosh out when the machine is running. At worst, you may need to replace a door gasket.
Instructions
Tools Needed to solve the problem.
Worm-drive Hose Clamp,Adjustable Pliers,Adjustable Wrench, Replacement Door Gasket, Screwdriver,Small Level
Tightening the fittings
1 Remove the service panel that runs along the front of the dishwasher just below the door. If it is screwed in place, remove the screws with a screwdriver. If the panel hangs on hooks, pull the panel out and swing it up to remove it from the hooks.
2 Check the end of the drain hose that connects to the dishwasher. If it's leaking, tighten the clamp with a screwdriver.
3 Check the drain hose connection to the kitchen sink drain. Again, if it's leaking, tighten the clamp with a screwdriver.
4 Check for leaks around the water-inlet valve. If necessary, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the compression fitting that connects the water-supply line to the valve. If the fill hose is leaking, replace the spring clamp that is on the hose with a worm-drive hose clamp. It produces more clamping pressure. Use adjustable pliers to compress the spring clamp so you can pull the clamp and hose off the valve. Remove the spring clamp from the hose. Buy a worm-drive clamp at your hardware store, then install it and tighten it with a screwdriver.
Leveling the machine
1 Remove the front access panel (see step 1, "Tightening the fittings"). This will give you access to the dishwasher's adjustable feet.
2 Open the door completely and remove the bottom dish rack.
3 Unscrew the dishwasher from the kitchen countertop so the dishwasher can move freely as you adjust the feet.
4 Check to see if the dishwasher is level side to side. Place a small level inside the dishwasher so it's sitting on the bottom pan and facing parallel to the front lip of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher is not level, use adjustable pliers to turn one of the dishwasher's front feet up or down until you hit level.
5 Check to see if the dishwasher is level front to back. Turn the level perpendicular to the door, and place it on one of the bottom ledges that run along the side of the cabinet. Check the level again. If the dishwasher isn't level, use your adjustable pliers to turn the back feet up or down until you hit level.
6 Reattach the dishwasher to the countertop and reinstall the front access panel.
Fixing a leaking door
1 Inspect the door gasket. As it ages, the gasket can crack or become hard, preventing it from sealing completely
2 If the gasket appears solid, adjust the door latch so the door seals tightly. Loosen the screw that holds the door latch to the cabinet. Push the latch in slightly and retighten the screw. Test the door and readjust the latch if necessary.
3Replace the gasket if water continues to leak after you've tightened the latch. Most gaskets are held by compression in a groove on the door or on the dishwasher cabinet.
4 Pull the old gasket out of its groove, using adjustable pliers (see illustration). Take the gasket to an appliance store to get a replacement.
5 Soak the new gasket in warm water to soften it, then press it into the groove. Start at the top, then work your way down the sides and across the bottom.

Thanks

Dishwasher simpson (silencio 850) model 52B850SF * 04

Check that the pressure switch tubes are not blocked on the underside of the machine on the right hand side and that the pressure switches are working when you blow down their tubes. You will hear them click on and off.

Simpson Silencio 850 leaks - the water doesn't seem to stop filling. Replaced all seals, but it keeps filling until it leaks and we have to stop it manually.

Hi, I've just purchased a 2nd hand model of your dishwasher. mine actually leaks from the black lining underneath. I've just patched it with some Sellys bathroom sealant. I don't know more about your problem but sounds like it could be something not timing out to stop the water, maybe buy a new 1 :P
