Weishgauf dishwashers sold on the Russian market are made in Turkey. Knowing how Weissgauff dishwasher errors are identified and decrypted, users can solve many problems on their own.
How are Weisgauf DTCs decoded?
Thanks to the self-diagnosis function, the user can not only determine the causes of breakdowns of the dishwasher (PMM), but also eliminate them independently.
If there are problems in the dishwasher, an alphanumeric combination will appear on the display screen. The user, having looked in the instructions - what this code means, will receive further guidance on the action.
Having found out what this or that code means, the owner of the machine makes a decision:
- Repair the breakdown yourself. If there is an explanation of how to fix the breakdown with your own hands, you can try to do without calling the wizard. This is especially beneficial in the post-warranty period, when you have to pay for inviting a specialist.
- Contact the service. There are malfunctions that under no circumstances should be corrected on your own. If the instructions say - contact the service, then this is the only right step.
Fault codes and their meaning:
- F1. A beep sounds to alert the user to water overflow. Immediately turn off the dishwasher and shut off the water supply. Next - contact the service.
- F2. Dirty water is not discharged from the apparatus. The reason is a clogged filter or drain hose. The solution is to turn off the device and cancel the program. If you repeat the error, you will have to contact specialists.
- F3 Water is supplied continuously. It is necessary to shut off the water supply and turn to specialists.
- F5. Poor water supply. Check for leaks. After shutting off the water supply and disconnecting the water supply hose, the filters are cleaned. Then the machine needs a reboot. If F5 reappears, no specialists can not figure it out.
All of the following problems exclude self-repair, the problem is solved through the service center:
- F6 The heating element sensor has broken.
- F7 Unacceptably high temperature inside the unit.
- F8 Heating element error.
- F8 Incorrect divider position.
- FE. Defective electronic circuits.
How to restart PMM?
To restart the machine and reset errors, you must turn it off - disconnect from the mains for 20 minutes. During this time, the control module will reset the settings and restart.
The second reboot option is to hold the “Shutdown” button for 10-15 seconds. Both of these methods are suitable for dishwashers of any brand - manufacturers seek to unify technology so as not to create additional problems for consumers.

Trouble-shooting
Before troubleshooting, refer to the instructions. Understand what to do in each case, and only then act.
PMM washes dishes badly
The main requirement of the user for a dishwasher is a quality dishwashing. Therefore, you can not put up with the shortcomings of washing - you can always find the origins of the problem and eliminate them.
Due to violations of the operating rules and various malfunctions on the surface of the products laundered in the PMM, the following may remain:
- cloudy film;
- white plaque;
- rainbow stains;
- pieces of food.
Causes of poor washing and their elimination:
- The device is not installed correctly - it may be too tightly pushed against the wall and the drain hose is pinched.
- The water hardness control unit is broken. It is better to entrust such a failure to the service master - it will replace the broken node.
- If the dishes are cloudy, then there is a lot of rinse aid, if there are leaks, then there is little rinse aid. Adjust its quantity.
- Clean the filters after each wash - they are located at the bottom of the working compartment. To do this, stop the water supply. Turn on the power, disconnect the hose from the valve, through which water is supplied to the device. Drain the water into the basin by lowering the end of the hose. Inspect the inlet filter by carefully removing it with pliers. After washing the filter, insert it back into the inlet pipe.
- Incorrectly placed utensils. For example, cups are set downside down or laid horizontally. Negatively affects the washing and overload of the camera - observe the loading standards for your model.
- The impeller rotation is blocked by the cutlery.
- There is no detergent or the lid of the tray is blocked by improperly delivered utensils.
- Impeller nozzles clogged. It is enough to clean them by removing and rinsing under running water.
- Wrong program selected - just change the operating mode. For example, the water temperature is set too high or too low, or the mode is set to too delicate.
- If too much foam appears during washing, the rinse aid dispenser must be set up.
Stains and drips are often triggered by the use of all-in-one tablets.They reduce the consumption of salt and rinse aid, simplify operation, but can degrade the quality of the wash.
PMM hung
It happens that the device stops during washing - it freezes. No need to panic. Better try to understand why there was a stop, and you may be able to correct the situation without calling the wizard.
How to act in the event of a machine stop depends on the reason for its freezing:
- Inspect the drain hose and filter; if there is a blockage, clean.
- If the pump is broken, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
- If the hang occurred at the start, most likely, the TEN “flew”. There is only one way out - a replacement.
- If the electronic control unit is broken or its factory settings are lost, you will have to reprogram it or replace it with a new one, in any case, you need the help of a specialist.
Knocks out an RCD machine
If the machine knocks out an automatic machine or makes an electric shock:
- The power button is faulty. Perhaps her contacts are oxidized. Will have to change it.
- Liquid has entered the control unit.
- Defective heater - due to exposure to high temperatures and cleaning products.
- The line filter is broken - it is sensitive to power surges.
- The total wiring load is too large. Or the power outlet is faulty. Check the outlet by plugging in an electrical appliance.
For whatever reason the machine is knocked out, immediately turn off the PMM, remove the plug from the outlet, and turn off the water supply tap. Next, you need the help of a specialist.
Water leaking
If the device has leaked, first unplug it and be sure to remove the plug from the outlet. There are many reasons for leaking:
- Cracked rubber hose. Or he is loosely attached.
- Leak occurs due to a skewed door.
- The water level sensor is out of order or the hose leading to it is clogged.
- The door leaks - due to contamination of the seals with grease. Solution - clean the seal, if badly damaged - will have to be replaced with a new one.
- Crack in the tank.
- The drain pipe is clogged.
In almost all of these cases, in addition to cleaning the seal, it is better to contact the master.
Jammed door
If the door cannot be closed before washing or it does not open after it, the problem is solved in the following ways:
- The lock on the door is broken or shifted from its place. The solution is to fix the lock mechanism or completely replace it.
- The seal is shifted. It is necessary to change the sealing circuit.
- The door twisted. This can happen due to inaccurate use or childish pranks. The solution is to adjust the door to level.
- The WEISSGAUFF system has failed - due to a breakdown in the programmer, the lock does not snap or the lock is not released.
What kind of breakdowns can you fix yourself?
Typical situations in which the user himself can fix the problem:
The machine makes extraneous sounds. Stop the process. Check the correct placement of the dishes - objects should not touch the impeller and the door of the powder tray, as well as in contact with other moving parts. A case becomes serious if:
- Impeller bearings are broken. Rotate each impeller to determine serviceability. If there is no knock, carry out the test by fastening each impeller in turn - this can identify the source of the knock.
- If knocking occurs occasionally, pinpoint its beginning. Bearings can knock - they are in the main and drain pumps. The first is included in periods, the second - only at the end of the cycle.
The device does not turn on. In 30% of cases, this situation is related to power supply and fuse failure. Both cases are easy to fix. However, if the fuse is blown, it means that the machine consumes too much current, which can cause problems in the future. Failure to work can also be caused by auto-locks:
- The door closes badly. Until the lock is latched, the PMM will not work. Make sure the door closes tightly.
- Water does not enter the working chamber.If the tap is closed - open, if the filter or hose is clogged - clean as described above.
- The programmer has broken. If you cannot find the cause of the breakdown, there may be a problem with the programmer. In this case, do not cope on your own.
The machine works, but water does not enter the chamber. Inspect the hose; the intake valve may have broken. Changing it is not difficult. Buy a new one and replace it. True, to replace the part, you have to disassemble the case.
The decision about who will fix the problem - the owner of the PMM or the master, is made during the diagnosis. Error codes speed up the identification of the cause of the malfunction, and reading the instructions helps to make a preliminary diagnosis. In case of serious damage, be sure to contact the service center.
