    Hello

    I have a question, namely whether the aqua-stop valve is also a valve that cuts off the water supply when the appropriate water level is reached or only cuts off the water at the time of a potential leak?
    Summing up, is there such a typical shut-off solenoid valve in the dishwasher itself or is the one made of aqua-stop the only one?
    Dishwasher model as in the topic.

    Aqua Stop only works on leaks.
    I mistakenly assumed that it is a sensor.

    So when I cut it, the dishwasher will work normally?
    I am asking because when I traced the water path, somehow I did not manage to find a typical solenoid valve ...

    Both.

    Gentlemen, at the moment I know as much as I knew before asking the question ...: /
    To nares - is there any cheaper way to repair my problem with that hose and the valve on it? I admit that I do not like buying a hose for 25% of the value of a new dishwasher ...: /

    What, the solenoid valve is on fire? If so, most third-party aqua stop hoses are adaptable.

    It displays an error 4E or E4, before that, a tap is shown informing about the probable turning off of the water supply, and after a few minutes just 4E ... The dishwasher normally starts tz. pours out potential water before the wash cycle starts and wants to draw water but no water is reaching. I note that 230V is present on the AQUA-STOP valve cube ...
    I wanted to undress it but it is so flooded that it probably cannot be possible without physically damaging it ...
    Do you have a workshop or something? Maybe you have a cheaper solution and I could, for example, drive up tomorrow afternoon?

    I understand that the diameters of these hoses are standard, yes? And I will have no problems with assembly?

    Sometimes you have to carve ;) but you can do it.

    I wonder if I should use a solenoid valve from the washing machine, everything would be hidden behind the furniture so my joyful creativity would not be visible ... :)

    It is possible, but it is already a sculpture ;)

    Hello
    Let the author of the topic check everything first. Disconnect the hose from the water jacket and then check whether it actually lets out water. Perhaps the strainer is clogged or the water jacket is calcified. In dishwashers with an electric aqua-stop there is only one solenoid valve that allows water.

    You also need to check whether the solenoid valve coil has a passage because it happens that they have a break, I had such cases in Samsung dishwashers.

    My colleague PAWEŁ74 has a profile of "automatic ventilation and air conditioning", so I think he started with that ;)

    ... I checked it as one of the first things ...


    Maybe I will provide more information ...
    Voltage appears on the wires of the AQUA-STOP coil when the dishwasher is to take water in. The dishwasher is 2.5 years old and has not been used too intensively, it looks like new. I tried to get to the valve on the hose but the manufacturer tried to make it as difficult as possible. The valve is completely filled with quite hard and thick plastic, which is discouraging and may cause mechanical damage to this valve ...
    Water certainly does not pass through the AQUA-STOP valve because you cannot even see any reaction after the hose (e.g. stress when pressure appears).

    I did not want to buy used parts, I purchased a repair kit from this auction:

    http://allegro.pl/show_item.php?item=6279340218

    The description includes:

    "Solenoid valve aquastop repair kit for Bosch Siemens Neff Gaggenau Constructa Bauknecht Vogica Whirlpool 263789 dishwasher"

    We will see how it comes, what the quality will be and whether it can be adapted to my dishwasher, and I can return it if necessary. And I will not fail to write about the effects and difficulties.

    Hello
    It's a pity you don't listen to advice. There is little pressure behind the valve. Disconnect the hose from the water jacket and then everything will be clear.

    Behind the hose, already in the dishwasher, there is a transparent plastic module mounted on the water jacket. You can see the movement of water in it when the dishwasher is pumping out the water, I think that if the water passed through the AQUA-STOP valve, it would be easily visible. If something in this module was clogged and the AQUA-STOP valve, however, let water pass, it would certainly be visible in the hose.
    After unplugging the hose from the connector and trying to blow / draw air / water from the hose, you can clearly feel that the valve is closed. Feels the same as when you try to blow into a ball valve that is closed.



    Welcome back...

    Dishwasher repaired, works fine :D

    The solenoid valve bought at the above-mentioned auction fits the model of my dishwasher without any problems. Simple replacement without too much difficulty. The only difficulty I encountered was to put the housing on after assembly, it is hard to close it from the side of the hose, it does not quite fit the hose cover (conduit), maybe that's why they do not write that, it also fits Samsung. The valve "hums" a bit, but it does not bother you because the water consumed drowns out the hum, in my case even more negligible due to the fact that everything is completely built-up.
    In the model of the dishwasher from the subject, there is only one electro-valve, it cannot be omitted even for the time of getting a new AQUA-STOP valve, thus I answer my own question. Unless someone is standing and turning the valve from the connector 8-) which I do not recommend :not:

    The valve came with the necessary additional components, we don't need any additional parts. Personally, instead of crimping the ends of the cables with the provided sleeves, I soldered them and secured each one separately with a heat-shrinkable sleeve from my own resources, then put on the provided T-shirt and also welded it.

    I was planning a photo session of replacing this valve, but when I got into the vortex of work, I completely forgot about archiving my struggles :| . Especially since I wanted to finish before my lady comes home from work ... and when she started washing up, I asked why she was washing by hand if we had a dishwasher :lol: ?

    Thank you for all the help ...

Topic summary
