Dishwasher Siemens won't start, instead the on/off button beeps.

[Estel74]

Hi,

I am totally desperate, looking for advice. With the Covid, nobody wants to come home to repair my dishwasher. It is a Siemens SN65E003EU/43.



I had a problem with the draining pump which I remove and cleaned. Once I plugged it back in, nothing happen and the dishwasher won’t start. Instead the on/off button just beeps every seconde and the reset doesn’t work either.

I couldn’t find a similar problem anywhere else and I hope I will find my savior here! ?

Thank you in advance for saving my life. I am an alone mother of 3 and I am at my wits end…

If you have the user manual it may tell you what the symptoms mean, there is usually a fault diagnosis/trouble shooting section.

Yes I checked the troubleshooting and for Siemens there is only 3 ways the power can't get in. None of which solved anything.

Hello Estel. Are you sure you replaced the draining pump and plug fully and properly, with the connections correct?

As mentioned by radiohead, the beeping likely means the dishwasher is not happy about something. For example, a sensor is detecting an issue or a sensor itself is faulty or not connected.

E.g. there is water in the casing, and an anti-flood sensor has detected this and won't allow the machine to start. For example due to a hose damaged or not fitting properly, or other leak.

Some machines also display an error code that gives some guidance as to what is at fault. I'm guessing either your machine does not do this, or you don't have any info about it.

Hi Ipf, Totally sure yes. I did it 3 times and the beep button started from the first time.
Hi SJD, water is fully dried already.

The water was just an example, it could be something else at fault.

Yes, just checked nothing appears to be wrong everywhere I touched it.

Sorry, but it looks like you might have to get by with a dish cloth and bowl, for the time being. These times eh!
