Siemens SE64A630GB dishwasher electrical fault

Hi! My Siemens SE64A630GB integrated dishwasher stopped working recently around the end of the drying cycle: there was an audible "pop", a little smoke, and it tripped the main RCD for the house. Can anyone please advise re likely nature of the fault, what parts I should check, etc? Though 7 years old, the dishwasher is otherwise in very good condition so it would be a shame to have to replace it... Many thanks in advance

    I finally got round to taking the dishwasher apart to investigate the problem. Though it's a fitted dishwasher, it was much easier than expected. There was a clear black smoke mark around the capacitor/supressor where the mains cable enters the back of the dishwasher. The capacitor simply unplugs, and testing with a voltmeter showed it shorted out between neutral and earth, explaining why the RCD was tripping out.

    I used the Siemens website to identify the correct spare part, which turns out to be so widely used across many makes and models of dishwasher it is available on Amazon and ebay). I purchased a replacement (very cheap indeed!), fitted it and the dishwasher now works perfectly.

Siemens Dishwasher Fault

there is a water level sensor in the bottom of the machine if this is faulty and stays on, this will indicate to the pump there is water still in the machine. I would check this sensor it might be blocked with debris and has blocked in the closed position. that woudl be the best start for this issue.

i hope this was useful.

My dishwasher isn't getting up to heat and hence dishes are not cleaned and are wet at the end of the cycle. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Water remains at the bottom of the dishwasher

some dishwashers have water left after the final rinse. it is important to keep the motor seals wet between loads. My filter is always immersed. If we go away for two weeks, I put 2 litres of water into the tub and let it soak 24 hr so that I never start it with dry seals.

I would say it is an earthing problem, check over your earth wires, normally black and grey is neutral, check to make sure your earth wires are connected properly, and tight, better to completely turn appliance off by disconecting power plug while doing this, take care not to play around with the wires too much to prevent a nasty electric shock

My Siemens SE64A630GB does not drain.

Could be the pump or controller has failed if no blockages.
