Household appliances for washing dirty dishes from Siemens are equipped with a modern self-diagnosis system. If error E15 appears on the screen, a water leak has appeared in the Siemens dishwasher. If correctly decipher the alarm signal, you can quickly and independently fix the problem.
Reasons for error E15
What to do, if dishwasher Siemens gave an alarm? First of all, determine the cause of the malfunction. We begin to check the pipes and hoses at the connection points, inspect these elements for integrity and correct connection. At the same time, it is necessary to make sure that the filters and drain system are not clogged with debris and food debris, and to diagnose the liquid level sensors and the Aqua-Stop system for functionality. Perhaps the reason lies in the wrong detergent composition, which produces an excessive amount of foam.
As soon as error code E15 appears, experts recommend following a certain algorithm:
- the Siemens dishwasher is de-energized;
- the water supply is cut off;
- the water intake hose and the waste liquid drain hose are disconnected;
- The machine is pulled out of the kitchen cabinet and leans over the rags on its side.
If water has accumulated in the pan, it will begin to pour out. This means that the E15 error problem is related specifically to a leak.If the pan is dry, you will have to look for the reason for the code that appears in the electronics of the machine. You will probably need the help of experienced service center technicians.
Let's pretend that in a Siemens washing mashine there was indeed a leak. You will have to determine exactly where the problem arose. It should be noted that for a non-professional this activity will be fraught with certain difficulties.
To quickly identify the problem area, the dishwashing equipment must be disassembled, albeit partially. The top and back panels are removed so that the gap between the washing chamber and the tray can be seen as much as possible. After this, the unit is connected to all communication systems and started in test mode.
How to resolve error E15?
Among users dishwasher there is one common mistake - if there is a small leak, they simply pour out the liquid accumulated in the pan and put the unit back into operation. In the case of a slight leak, such a measure is effective, but for no more than one working cycle. After the problem returns in the form of code E15, all actions must be repeated.
It cannot be said that this method of eliminating the error is an acceptable solution to the problem. In any situation, it is necessary to determine the weak point in order to promptly replace the failed part or use improvised means - sealant or cold welding.When a water leak appears in the places where the pipe is connected to a plastic part, you should try to tighten the clamp, having previously coated the connecting area with sealant.
If, during an inspection of a Siemens dishwasher, it is determined that the washing chamber has damage to the body, it is recommended to repair such places by cold welding. The previously damaged area is dried with a hairdryer, degreased, after which an even, but not very thick layer of cold welding compound is applied.
A leak may manifest itself through a burst housing part circulation pump. In this case, the element is completely changed to a new analogue. Repair in this situation is considered inappropriate, because it will not help to completely eliminate the problem.
There are cases where the garbage filter was to blame. If a severe blockage forms in it, excess pressure is created in the system, which can cause the pipe to rupture or other troubles to occur. This suggests the conclusion that cleaning and changing the filter in a timely manner is an important procedure that helps extend its service life. Siemens dishwasher, and it should never be neglected.
The algorithm of actions here is quite simple:
- open the loading door;
- remove the basket located below for dirty dishes;
- we find the filter in the pan and unscrew it, taking out the coarse mesh;
- the removed elements are thoroughly washed under running water and installed in their places.
Conclusion
So, we already know the decoding of error E15 in a Siemens dishwasher.In addition, we familiarized ourselves with the procedure to follow if a leakage problem is identified. Remember that at home, even without the necessary experience, in eighty-five percent of cases you will be able to cope with troubles on your own.
Naturally, the nature of the malfunction plays a certain role, and in some cases you will need the help of professionals.
