Let's check the pressure switch

The display of error F17 may occur due to a faulty pressure switch. The level sensor measures the volume of water in the tank; if it does not function correctly, an incorrect signal is transmitted to the control module, and the “brain” blocks the operation of the SMA. To diagnose the pressure switch, you need:

A working level sensor will produce one or three characteristic clicks. If the device does not make any sounds, it can be stated that it is broken.

Inspect the pressure switch for defects and mechanical damage. Make sure its hose is not clogged. If you find contaminants in the cavity, be sure to rinse the hose under the pressure of warm water.

If a visual inspection does not allow you to clearly understand that the pressure switch is faulty, you can check the sensor with a multimeter. The device is put into resistance determination mode, its probes are applied to the contacts of the pressure switch relay. The values ​​on the multimeter display will change when the contacts are triggered. If the readings remain initial, the level sensor does not work. To understand which contacts of the pressure switch you need to connect the multimeter to, first study the electrical diagram of the device.

Experts recommend partially disassembling the machine at least once every three years and checking its parts for wear. And this is no coincidence - if you notice a worn gasket or pipe in time, you can avoid serious problems with repairs or flooding of the apartment.

To protect the washing machine, it is necessary to take measures both before and after each wash:

1. Carefully check the pockets of things before putting them in the car. Any sharp objects, even small ones, can damage the machine.
2. Distribute things evenly in the drum, and do not exceed the quantity recommended in the instructions.
3. Do not wash frequently at a temperature of 95 - the machine will last longer.
4. All items that have large buttons, buckles and metal parts should be washed in a special bag. Shoes are always washed in bags.
5. When washing, do not leave the machine unattended for a long time. This will help you take action in time in case of an accident, as well as hear if the device starts to work differently than usual. There will be a chance to prevent damage.
6. Be sure to open the hatch wide after washing and pull out and wipe dry the powder compartment.
7. Clean the filter after washing and drain the remaining water from the machine.
8. The hatch seal must always be clean and dry. Do not allow moisture to remain in it - otherwise the rubber may tear.

When using water softeners, the machine must also be maintained. Washing machine service specialists recommend carrying out a complete mechanical cleaning of the device every two to three years. In addition, chemical cleaning should be carried out every six months.

Carrying out chemical cleaning:

• A special cleaning agent for washing machines is added to the powder compartment.
• The machine starts for a long wash at high temperature and does not put things in the drum.

After washing, the machine will be much cleaner. Undoubtedly, dry cleaning is easier for the user, but mechanical cleaning is also necessary.

Carrying out mechanical cleaning:

• The top cover of the machine is removed, then the tray (if there is one), and the back wall is dismantled.
• The drain pipe is removed and cleaned manually.
• I remove the pump and clean it.
• I remove the pipe from the powder compartment to the tank and clean it.

In Russia, at an enterprise owned by the BSH Bosch und Siemens concern, such Siemens brand models as Siemens IQ300, IQ500 and IQ700 are produced. These washing machines have already proven themselves to be easy to use and quite reliable helpers in the household.

If stubborn error E18 continues to flash on the display, making it impossible to complete the wash, be sure to contact our Siemens service center! You won't find a better offer anywhere:

If the Siemens machine has a display on the control panel, then the process of diagnosing the problem that has arisen will be easier: the system will automatically display a special code on the screen. Knowing its decoding, you can narrow down the search for the malfunction that has occurred and begin repairs faster. Thus, error E18 in a washing machine indicates problems with the drain. We will tell you more specifically about possible sources of breakdown in our article.

Tips and prevention of breakdowns

• If you want to wash the outside of the machine, be sure to unplug the device, do not direct a stream of water at the equipment, and do not use household chemicals with solvents or abrasive particles. It is best to simply wipe the machine with a damp soft cloth.
• To remove scale from machine elements, you should use only products specifically designed for this purpose, taking into account their recommended dosages.
• Regularly inspect the cuvette into which detergents are loaded. If you see dirt or powder residue in it, remove the cuvette, rinse and return it.
• Check the condition of the sump pump several times a year. To do this, remove the base panel, remove the drain hose and drain the water, then clean the pump and check the rotation of its impeller. After closing the pump with the lid, secure the base panel.
• At least once a year, you should remove and inspect the strainer located in the water supply hose to the device.

The preventive measures shown in the Ukrainian program “Everything Will Be Good” will help increase the service life of your washing machine.

Error E17 - when you can fix it yourself

Code 17 does not always indicate a breakdown. Situations when the SMA is in good order occur quite often. And most problems can be fixed on your own.

If you checked all the specified components, but the error was not resolved, unfortunately, your Siemens is broken.

Elimination

Actions must be taken based on the malfunction. For example, if fault F04 is displayed, then you need to find and fix the leak. If you need to unlock the control panel to solve the problem, you can restart the washing machine.

It is important to first turn off the power using the button, then unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Troubleshooting common errors:

1. If there is a problem with the hatch door, you should first make sure that clothing does not interfere with closing. Then the blocking system is inspected for damage. Also, the door may not close due to wear on the hinges or rubber seal. It is worth checking these parts and replacing if necessary.
2. To eliminate error F02, you should check whether there is water in the pipes and whether the supply valve is closed. If everything is in order, then it is worth inspecting the hose and filters. There is probably a blockage somewhere - it is enough to remove it for the code to disappear.
3. Code F03 needs to be corrected sequentially. First, the filters are inspected and cleaned if necessary. Then you should check the drain pump for defects. If the pump is broken, you should contact a service center. You will also have to call a technician if the failure is in the control module.
4. If Aquastop breaks down (error F23), you should check the contacts and replace them if necessary. If there is no breakage in the wires, then the sensor itself should be examined. The part will have to be replaced if it fails.
5. If any sensor fails, then first you need to check its contacts. If everything is normal with them, then you should inspect the part itself for defects. If there are any, the sensor should be replaced with a new one.
6. To eliminate error F31, you need to check the fill valve and drain pump, pressure sensor. If all parts are normal, then you should find and eliminate the blockage in the drain system. It happens that such simple actions do not help. This means the cause of the error is in the wiring. You'll have to change the wires.
7. If synchronization fails (F40), just restart the washing machine. If this does not help, then you will have to call a specialist.
8. To eliminate F67, you need to restart the equipment and encode the card again. If this does not help, you will have to replace the part.

— It is highly not recommended to fix critical errors yourself. Incompetent repairs can lead to the equipment becoming completely inoperable.

You should immediately contact the service center and call a technician. You can only deal with typical, minor breakdowns on your own.

Intake valve problems

What to do if cleaning the filter mesh does not work? You will have to check the filling valve of the Siemens washing machine. It is installed directly under the top cover of the unit, attached to the rear wall. After removing the top panel, you will definitely see an element with several connected tubes through which the liquid enters the powder receptacle. The algorithm for repairing an intake valve with your own hands will be as follows:

If the visual inspection is uninformative, you will have to remove the valve. To do this, open the metal clamps and disconnect the pipes connected to the valve. Disconnect the power supply from the element. Before removing the wires, it is advisable to photograph the connection diagram to avoid mistakes during reassembly. All that remains is to unscrew the bolts securing the part to the wall and remove the valve.

It is recommended to carry out diagnostics of the inlet valve over a sink, bathtub or empty container so as not to wet the floor covering.

First, inspect the device and its pipes for blockages. Then connect the inlet hose to the valve and start the water supply. A properly functioning element will not allow leakage. If there is leakage, a new valve will have to be installed.

Further testing should be done with extreme caution. A voltage of 220 V is applied to the coils of the element. During this procedure, the section should open up and fill with water. This testing method is dangerous, since a short circuit may occur when liquid and electricity come into contact.

A multimeter will help you accurately understand whether the filling valve needs to be replaced or not. The measuring device is switched to resistance determination mode. The tester probes are applied one by one to the valve winding. The working sensor should produce a resistance of about 3 kOhm. There is no point in repairing the solenoid valve. It is necessary to purchase a new spare part and replace the failed element. The algorithm for action is as follows:

By following this sequence of actions, you can easily replace the filling valve, the breakdown of which could cause error F17. After completing the steps, turn on the Siemens washing machine and run a test wash.
