Baumatic Dishwasher Faults Explained
Baumatic dishwasher faults are quite common. And unfortunately, due to the design of the appliance can be quite complex to locate the source of the problem. Look at a more detailed guide as to possible Baumatic dishwasher troubleshooting – and then call in the professionals.
- E1 – when the dishwasher intake has timed out this indicates a possible problem with the water supply, the fill valve, or wiring. It could also be an electronic controller issue or a mesh filter snag
- E2 – if the dishwasher times out when draining it could be due to a blockage in the drain pump or the drain hose outlet. All plumbing needs checking for obstructions – and wiring and the electronic controller inspected also
- E3 – when the water hasn’t been heated within the selected time there may be a fault with the heating element, the thermostats, or a defective water heating element itself
- E4 – if an overfill is detected the float switch will be activated – and this is commonly caused by using the incorrect detergent tablets. If water has leaked into the base of the dishwasher the drain pipe may be positioned at the wrong height. Or there may be a blockage in the drainage system – and you’ll need the help of a specialist
- E5 – issues with low voltage or power switch failure will result in the dishwasher being unable to switch off automatically and an electrician will be required to safely fix these difficulties
- E6 – problems with the open circuit thermistor will warrant professional help
- E7 – short circuit thermistor complications will need skilled advice
Additional Issues
- No power to the dishwasher – this could be due to issues with the electrics including the power supply and faulty sockets of fuses
- Dishwasher won’t start – this could be due to incorrectly selecting the programme or a problem with the start button. A problem may have occurred with the door closure or with the water intake
- Dishwasher smells – this indicates you need to do a maintenance wash
- Dishes are still wet – incorrect loading will prevent water from freely running away – and the dosage of the rinse aid can also be a reason. Limescale will build up in areas with hard water and you’ll need to find a setting that suits your requirements
