I WENT ON OFFICIAL NEFF SITE AND CONTACTED TO ASK FOR COPY OF MANUAL WHICH THEY SENT TO ME

What your saying is suggesting a water supply issue. The Model number you've given can not be found on the Neff website.

You will need to disconnect power, turn the water supply off (under sink or behind dishwasher), disconnect the water line, put the end of the hose in a bucket or cup, turn water back on slowly and make sure water flows. Turn back off. If water flows -

Then check that there is not a restriction in the water solenoid valve. If you know how to use a multimeter, check the water valve solenoid for continuity.

Plug the unit back in, and initiate a wash cycle, and watch for voltage applied to the water solenoid valve. If you get voltage, you should hear the valve open.
Power the unit off, connect the water line, and repower the unit. Check again if water does or doesnt flow.

Let me know what you find.

chucked it !!

I have just done this on my own dishwasher, and managed to bend the next curl of the springs to replace the broken ends, see instructions and pictures here:-

try running bleach through the system.....pour some in the bottom and in the soap disp and run it

It could be faulty wireing in the dishwasher connection or you could have a leak in the washer causing the wires to get wet. I would have an electrician have a look at it.

If your dishwasher's cycle times are too long, check these:

Water pre-heating
Cycle not completing
Water pre-heating
Your dishwasher may pre-heat the water. If so, and if the water entering the dishwasher is
cool, the heater may take up to half an hour to heat the water.

To avoid the wait, increase the incoming water temperature before turning on the dishwasher.
Do that by running the kitchen sink faucet until the water runs hot. Or increase the temperature
of the hot water to the entire house at the hot water heater.

Warning! To lessen the risk of scalding, don't set the hot water heater temperature higher than
120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ok,

So you know how to get to the float mechanism. I also noticed that when i lifted the red anti flood pole the pump keeps going & also the float will not move because if you add water to the small chambe it runs away as it should do. The next thing i tried was to unplug the electronic float switch. I use alot of these devices in my line of work & sometimes they stick. By unpluging it & seemed to do the trick once reinserted the pump has stopped. To double check just lift the red pole & the pump will start again as if it has registered a flood alert. Problem solved & £300 better off. Note if it still runs after this, the switch could be at fault they cost pennies to replace. Good luck

its quite common for the interferance filter to fail on these models its situated in the base of the dishwasher connected to the mains block usually when they fail you can see black dust around it,

If there is power getting to the motor then the motor is bad, if no power is getting to the motor then the timer is bad. If you can change the setting so it pumps the water out then you know the motor is OK and the timer will need to be replaced.

these arms rotate only by water jetting out of angled jets at the end. it is likely that these jets are blocked - not always obvious

First try disconnecting the unit, completely from any power, for an hour or more, look in any control doors or access points for a small battery mounted to a board or in a holder, if you find one, take it out also, noting the positive and negative orientation.

If that doesn't do it, there are reset buttons under the tops or lids of some NEFF models, if there is an obvious lid after trying the no power trick, take off the top and look for a stand alone reset button.


If all that fails, write me back
Will

It is possible drain pump blocked, you need to empty d/washer manually, check inside drain pump which is at end of drain hose, always isolate d/washer from power before attempting any work on it.

At what point in the programme does it stick, i.e. is it washing or rinsing or draining, does the water get hot?

Drain pump is either faulty or blocked, follow drain hose back to d/washer pump is at the end, always isolate from power supply before attempting any work

Telephone BSH 08705 543210 ask for spares department who are very good helping you with spares as long as you have all relevant serial and product numbers it can sometimes be difficult to get through because they are always busy, be persistent

Have you tried it on a different program? I have nearly always used the AUTO program - however i have used the 50 degree program 3 times now and it completes the (much longer) wash without sticking on one minute. Will try it on auto again to see what happens. I found it useful to turn the end-of-wash buzzer on (to loud) to remind me when (if) it completes the program.

remove the lower kick panel by removing the 2 screws located just below the door hinge point. There should be a relay to the left side of the middle of the dishwasher. It looks like this sort of: --- / ! !----/ The arm looking part is the ! ! linkage that opens and close ------- the butterfly for draining. ! ! The other part is selinoid ! ! which is probably corroided ! ! or has overheated and is !-----! stuck. Remove the power to the unit and remove the 2 screws and the c clip holding the linkage on. disconnect the wires at the connection which is front right of the selinoid. Use some 3 in 1 oil if you don't have any electronic cleaner, and work the selinoid up and down. It is highly magnetized, so use some back arm. After it moves freely, re-install. That should do it. Now get in there and make me a pie ;)

Well, job done. I tried using cable ties to hold the hinges down without success, string would have broken immediately. The only way to do it without a specially made tool is to insert screwdrivers in the narrow gaps between the hinge and the frame with the handle held in place by the bottom of the door and the seal that is being replaced. The problem with this is that when the door is fully removed the screwdrivers are likely to slip and the hinges slam shut, disastrous if any body part is in the way. What is needed is another pair of hands to hold both screwdrivers in place. Apart from having to work around your helper( get a thin one if possible) the rest is easy. Fit the seal to the frame first, then position the fixing plates and hod in place with a paper clip in the lower screw hole. Re-attach the door to the hinge fixing the top screws first, remove the paper clips and fit the lower screws. Your helper can now make the tea whilst you re-fit the rest of the door.

take top off then side panel and hinge is exposed. to expose the part of hinge on door, take outer panel off door - just held in by screws down each side
