Symptom / Description

FAULT

Sauter Silence / SVH / Saveurs Built-in Dishwasher: Drain pump timeout d02; dirty wash water remains pooled in the sump tub after 3 minutes of pumpout.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On Sauter dishwashers featuring Saveurs alternating hydraulic wash arms, Flexi-Safe load geometry, and 42dB acoustic shielding: Bone fragment or glass shard wedging the drain impeller, kinked drain tube, or open drain motor winding (~180–220 Ω).

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Remove microfilter basket and reach into sump to clear debris from impeller. Measure drain pump winding resistance (~180–220 Ω). Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 4 seconds until drain pump initiates, allow pumpout to complete, then switch off.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sauter D02

FAQ TREE
What does error code D02 mean on a Sauter appliance?

Sauter error code D02 indicates: Sauter Silence / SVH / Saveurs Built-in Dishwasher: Drain pump timeout d02; dirty wash water remains pooled in the sump tub after 3 minutes of pumpout..

What is the root cause of Sauter error code D02?

The primary root cause for Sauter code D02 is: On Sauter dishwashers featuring Saveurs alternating hydraulic wash arms, Flexi-Safe load geometry, and 42dB acoustic shielding: Bone fragment or glass shard wedging the drain impeller, kinked drain tube, or open drain motor winding (~180–220 Ω)..

How do I fix or resolve Sauter error code D02?

To resolve error code D02: Remove microfilter basket and reach into sump to clear debris from impeller. Measure drain pump winding resistance (~180–220 Ω). Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 4 seconds until drain pump initiates, allow pumpout to complete, then switch off.

Is it safe to clear Sauter error code D02 by resetting power?

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Sauter code D02 persists, the physical component causing On Sauter dishwashers featuring Saveurs alternating hydraulic wash arms, Flexi-Safe load geometry, and 42dB acoustic shielding: Bone fragment or glass shard wedging the drain impeller, kinked drain tube, or open drain motor winding (~180–220 Ω). must be inspected or replaced.

How do I test electrical resistance for Sauter code D02 using a multimeter?

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Drain Pump Motor Stator Coils across Across pump motor spade terminals (L-N unclipped). Expected nominal reading is 160Ω–220Ω (Sync 230V) / 20Ω–45Ω (3-Phase BLDC). Tolerance: ±10% balance. Insulation resistance between coil and motor chassis must exceed 20MΩ..

What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Sauter code D02?

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
