(b) Remove the three rear screws and the upper screw. (c) Detach the lateral panel from the rear and slide away from the frontal anchor slot. NB: Before laying the dishwasher on a side panel or on the rear panel suck the water in the sump, for example by using a syringe, so as the water does not reach the pressure switch tube or the tub.
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS The appliance may be considered as consisting of three major assemblies: DOOR AREA - BASE AREA - TUB AREA The entire structure is enclosed by a series of removable parts such as the worktop, the door, two lateral panels, the plinth and the lower front panel.
2.3 Tub area Fitted externally to the tub: Lateral uprights Upper rear cross-member Upper front cross-member Lower front cross-member Supports for upper basket wheels External feed manifold to the upper spray arm Sump assembly Thermostat/temperature sensor + turbidity sensor Water fill tank (short or long) Drying duct/fan (if featured) Fitted inside the tub: Sliding guides for upper basket...
3.1 Central drain filter (a) From inside the tub, use the lever to rotate the filter assembly about 45° in a counter-clockwise direction, and remove the assembly from its housing. (b) Use the central ring to pull the coarse-mesh filter (a or A) and remove from the fine-mesh filter (b, if featured).
Access from above 4.1 Drying duct/fan (if featured) (a) Remove the worktop (see 1.1) (b) Raise gently and detach the duct from the water fill tank, taking care not to damage the sponge sealing element between the tank and the duct. (c) From inside the tub, detach the intake ring by pressing the four hooks.
5.2.1 Timer (electro-mechanic versions) (a) First remove the cover, then the two screws which secure the timer to the control panel. (b) Pull out the knob/flange assembly. Important: On certain series of dishwasher with different stylings, it is necessary to remove the knob before removing the timer.
5.3 External door (a) Open the door and remove the six perimetral screws which secure it to the inner door. (b) Remove the two lateral screws (c) Slide the external door forwards and remove 5.4 Beam on floor (fully-integrated versions only, if featured) (a) Remove the external door (see 5.3).
5.6 Latch assembly (a) First, remove the control panel (see 5.2), then the two screws which secure the latch assembly to the inner door. (b) To remove the microswitch, lever the anchor tabs open and extract the switch from its housing. Important: To replace the latch ferrule and/or the plate: remove the cap which covers the hole and remove the central screw.
(d) When remounting, place the wiring accurately taking care not to damage the plastic parts and that the wiring do not come into contact with the warm or live components which are fitted inside the appliance (for ex. water fill solenoid, heating element…); ensure that the board housing is fitted properly to the plastic support.
5.11 Salt sensor (if featured) (a) First remove the plinth and the lower front panel (see 1.2). (b) Detach the electrical connectors from the sensor. (c) Using a tool release the salt sensor from the water softener and slide it downwards, in some models, or simply pull it backwards in other models.
Access from the base NB: Before laying the dishwasher on a side panel or on the rear panel remove the water in the sump by suction, for example with a syringe, so as it does not reach the pressure switch tubes or the tub. 6.1 Anti-flooding device (if featured) (a) Remove the bottom panel (if featured) (see 1.3).
(i) Detach all the hoses (to the heating element, the water softener (if featured, see picture on the left), the washing motor, the drain pump and the pressure switches) (j) Remove the thermostat and the O-ring (see 5.8) (k) Detach the drain pump (see 6.5). (l) Pull the sump out, taking care not to damage the tub seal.
6.5 Drain pump (a) Remove any residual water from the sump by suction so that it does not flow into the tub and the pressure switch tubes, then lay the appliance on the rear panel. (b) First remove the plinth, the lower front panel (see 1.2) and the bottom panel (if featured) (see 1.3).
Access from the sides RIGHT SIDE VIEW LEFT SIDE VIEW 7.1 Washing motor capacitor (a) Remove the worktop (see 1.1), the plinth and the lower front panel (see 1.2) and the right side (see 1.4). (b) In some models: remove the protective cap and detach the electrical connectors pull the capacitor upwards to remove it from its seat in the base (c) In some models: Pull the capacitor upwards to remove...
7.3 Supports for upper basket wheels (a) Remove the worktop (see 1.1), the plinth and the lower front panel (see 1.2), the appropriate lateral panel (see 1.4) and the upper basket (see 3.4.a). (b) From outside the tub, remove the two screws which secure the basket guide wheels in position.
