Leaking from bottom of door
thereis a float switch in the pan it is usualy a plastic inverted cup like thing there is an electrical switch connected to this usualy by a plunger it is either out of adjustment the float may be gunked up or the switch is just faulty now
Stopped
This is a typical Anti Flood system activation. This system activates when water leaks onto the floor of the machiene due to a leak fault (pipe/hose clamp/ partly blocked pipe). The machiene automatically switches to pump out mode and stops water inlet. The anti flood system is a polystireen float / micro switch at the base of the machiene floor. Dry the floor and drectify the leak and it should work.
Poor washing
Tear down the lower spray arm mechanism to the deck, noting placement and orientation of each part as removed. Look for cracked/split plastic while you do this. At the bottom, you should find a large screen that is likely plugged with food and water deposits. Soak it in a solution of hot water, detergent, and white vinegar for about an hour. Scrub it if necessary to get the screen clean and open. Clean any openings in the deck of food deposits. Reassemble everything in reverse order. Inspect and clean all of the spray arms (the small holes), and look for any split seams in the arms. Hope this helps!
What is the error message E3 ?
The E3 message on your Baumatic dishwasher is a malfunction of the temp sensor or the heating element. Test each part separately and replace the faulty part.
Error code E2
Error Code E2 means the pump is blocked. The remedy is to take the filter out which is underneath the bottom dish basket and ensure its is clean and free from debris. Then use a small container to empty the water sitting in the bottom of the machine/filter housing and ensure that no waste is stuck in the bottom. That should clear it
Blockage in the filter
please rremove the filter and clean the blockage.then use the descaling powder and run the machine with out loading the dishes.
Our BDW 13 keeps tripping our fuse board
your cicuit is overloaded. hook the DW up to its own cicuit, or at least one that will not overload it. Circuits should not be loaded to more than 80% of their capacity. 15 Amp load no more than 12 amp.
when motors/pumps start they use the most load or power, or when your DW turns on the heat.
Holding water at bottom
water level over filters,is not ok.. ! so it kan be the level switz ther is derty..normaly playst lower part of tank --may me you have to get a new on..
Looking for reset switch
If your getting `E3` then it cannot be reset, one of the two thermostats on the heater element cannot be reset and has to be replaced, around £18, you can test which one of the thermostats is faulty by using an `ohms` tester, open circuit, faulty, this is a very common problem with these.
Error code on my bdw13 dishwasher
Turn off the water and electric!
Its really easy to change the heater element, once you have taken out the dishwasher!, remove the bottom panel and remove the wiring to the element, slacken off the nut under the electrical contacts voila!, also it may be a faulty thermostat that you cannot reset and has to be replaced, I would do this at the same time, as again its easy with the bottom off.
Water is not heating in dishwasher
On the BDW13 Baumatic dishwasher I had the same problem, as I fix gas boilers I ohm tested the heating element, which was ok, I then tipped the machine on its side and took the bottom off, be careful, always disconnect the electric and water, underneath there are two thermostats, I know them as thermistors on a boiler, they screw into the brackets that hold the element in place inside the dishwasher, I unscrewed them after removing the wire connectors(pull off) I then ohm tested them and found one was an open circuit(faulty) the problem is, the one that was faulty is a non-self-resetting type, which means it has to be replaced once it has tripped, which is a real pain, the other one resets after it has cooled down.
