DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Sauter D08
FAQ TREEWhat does error code D08 mean on a Sauter appliance?
Sauter error code D08 indicates: Sauter Silence / SVH / Saveurs Built-in Dishwasher: Alternating spray distributor valve motor fault d08; wash water does not alternate between upper and lower spray arms..
What is the root cause of Sauter error code D08?
The primary root cause for Sauter code D08 is: On Sauter dishwashers featuring Saveurs alternating hydraulic wash arms, Flexi-Safe load geometry, and 42dB acoustic shielding: Jammed ceramic distributor disc, stripped reduction gears, or open synchronous micro-motor coil (~3.5–4.2 kΩ)..
How do I fix or resolve Sauter error code D08?
To resolve error code D08: Inspect motorized alternating valve assembly beneath tub. Measure drive motor resistance (~3.5–4.2 kΩ). Verify disc rotates smoothly by hand. 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 D08 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Sauter code D08 persists, the physical component causing On Sauter dishwashers featuring Saveurs alternating hydraulic wash arms, Flexi-Safe load geometry, and 42dB acoustic shielding: Jammed ceramic distributor disc, stripped reduction gears, or open synchronous micro-motor coil (~3.5–4.2 kΩ). must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Sauter code D08 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 D08?
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.
