Hello All,

I'm hoping one of may be able to help with the following issues I'm having with my dishwasher:

1) The soap and rinse aid are sometimes not released during the cycle, I have tested the input to the "wax" motor during a quick cycle and no, (or only a brief flash of) power is being fed to the motor to initiate the opening/rinse aid injection sequence. (See photo)

2) The cycle sometimes just stops, (or doesn't even start) with the digital readout stating "x minutes remaining" with nothing happening.

3) The machine gets locked into a rinse cycle, it reads, "1 minute remaining" but will continue rinsing for 30 minutes (or more, I generally cancel the program).

There are no fault codes listed.

I feel that a replacement of the motherboard may be required but have been quoted £330 (approx $500) by Siemens to replace this which seems a little harsh.

Does any one have any alternative ideas? Your help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Tom
