Smeg DI612CA9 Dishwasher E1 Acquastop Fault repair

How to fix the E1 Fault "Acquastop Failure" on Smeg dishwashers. Acquastop is an anti-flooding system which is tripped in case of water collecting in the base of the machine, the fault is signified by an audible alarm and flashing of the left hand indicator light. This is the first time this fault happened on my machine so I haven't tried to identify any leaks, just cleaned up the water to allow the machine to work again. Obviously, if the fault recurs a more permanent repair will be needed.

    You are a LEGEND man! I called tech support and they said they needed to send technician for this... The cause was clearly a dirty filter that flooded the tray on the bottom. Cleaned out the filter and the little pan under the floatswitch and BOOM no expensive repairs needed.

    For anyone struggling to remove the cover - press down on the hinge with a flathead screwdriver, while simultaneously pulling the cover towards you by gripping e.g. on the little bump at the bottom of the cover. Repeat with the other hinge. NB: the very bottom part is not the cover, but the base! You need to find the correct piece to grip on while pulling, which is part of the cover and not the base.

    I wish you added the bit where you released the clips, it took me a while to figure it out. Had to put a flat head screwdriver in to pull down the tab inside and simultaneously pull the bottom corner away from the machine. The other tab could then be released without using the screwdriver as the panel was loose, and you could pull the whole cover away. But thanks for this, I opened the door in the middle of a cycle and triggered the Acquastop. Saved an engineer call out.

    Thank you very much for this helpful video! Worked well. Only thing to add was that I had a crack open the seals on the inspection panel at the bottom to open it... but it still slid back on nearly after I cleaned up the leakage.

    I thought there was no water in mine either but left some Kitchen paper around the areas and five minutes later they were saturated. I am a Wheelchair-User and was able to do this task. Two points you might address for Nobody know nothings like me. ONE: How to remove the Door panel. TWO: remove ONLY! teh Decor Panel - I almost broke mine as only 2 screws on door but it required a Slide up and off motion to remove the door. I had initially removed all the screws (Big mistake) as when I replaced everything the Locking mechanism has slipped so door would no longer lock in place. Invaluable lessons here and thank you sincerely

    Thank you very much. Lesson learned, never use dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher. It happened to me that my partner have put excessive dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher because we just ran out of dishwasher tablet. I think the excessive form it generates force the water to leak into the base.
