Symptom / Description

FAULT

A 'Dichtigkeit' (tightness) error is displayed, indicating a potential water leak and the device shutting down.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

Water has been detected in the lower retention tank, activating the leak sensor (Aquastop). The leak may come from a joint or a pipe.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply. Mop up the water in the retention tray. Visually inspect joints and pipes to identify the source of the leak.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Disconnect electrical power before touching solenoid valve coils or Aquastop connectors.
  • !Firmly shut off the domc water supply tap before unscrewing the inlet hose fitting.
  • !Check safety base drip tray for accumulated water triggering the anti-flood polystyrene float switch.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Remove and clean sediment and sand particles from the 3/4" inlet hose metal mesh filter.
  • Verify domestic dynamic water pressure is between 1.0 and 10.0 bar (0.1 to 1.0 MPa).
  • Inspect outer Aquastop hose jacket for expansion, pinch damage, or internal leak reservoir triggering.
Perform these diagnostic steps before triggering AI Deep Search or replacing boards.Certified Workshop Routine
