Symptom / Description

FAULT

A water leak is visible under the appliance, particularly during the filling and washing phases.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The drain valve seal is worn or clogged, which no longer guarantees a hermetic seal.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED

1After securing the device, remove the drain valve. Clean the seal and its seat. If the leak persists after cleaning, replace the entire valve assembly.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols

!Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
!Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
!Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.

3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks

Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.
