Amica ZIM 646 E Dishwasher: Fixing Error E1, Water Intake Issue & Aquastop Valve Solutions

When you select a program, the drain pump runs first. The dishwasher then thinks. If the valve does not physically buzz (touch it with your hand, no instruments are needed), then there is no voltage. And if there is no voltage, then the module or the flow meter is broken, since you say that the valve works for a short time. How it works? It's a simple machine and a simple solution, you just need to think a little. Generally, E1 in this machine means: " The water filling time exceeds the set time ". So either your water pressure is too weak, or the flow meter receives incorrect information - communication with the module.

I checked the correct operation of the aquastop by briefly connecting it to 230v and to the water connection. When he got 230v, the water started to fly, so I exclude damage to the aquastop. Except that immediately after selecting the program in the dishwasher, it should first pump out the water, I didn't think and indeed as if the problem was starting here because I can't hear anything ...

Unfortunately, the dishwasher started working. First she started pumping out the water and that wasn't there before when the dishwasher stopped working

I have Amica, three years ago I replaced the solenoid valve (for a new one). And for two days I get the message "no water intake". Everything would indicate the same problem again, but this solenoid is "alive". Every time you turn on the dishwasher, you hear a ticking sound and then a buzzing sound. After turning off the dishwasher, the ticking and humming stops again. Is it possible to damage the valve in such a way that it is electrically "alive" and does not let the water out?

See if the valve gets an impulse from the short circuit. The relay on the motherboard may have failed. That was my case. 4 relays out of 7 and the integrated circuit controlling them have failed. The repair cost me PLN 26

Well, he definitely gets some impulse because he "ticks" and hums. And it makes me wonder if he can show signs of life and still not let the water out.

Usually, when the solenoid valve is damaged, it lets water in despite a functioning coil, but it also happens that due to calcification it may not open and the water will not let out.
