Whirlpool (Bauknecht) Dishwasher GSF4872 - evacuation pump doesn't stop running
and therefore the programme cycle doesn't move on...
There must be some sort of sensor that tells the dishwasher when it is empty of water and can switch off the evacuation pump. I have checked the diaphragm valve and it is ok. Could it be the "probe feeler" or does any one else have any other suggestions ? Thanks in advance, Mark... |

Hi, GSF4872 Model# appears too short and doesn't work for me on any searches. evacuation pump doesn't stop running Float stuck in the up position? Some of the Bosch/European style dishwashers have a float ( behind the fill valve often ) that will enage the drain pump only if the base has water in it or if the float is stuck up ( thinks water is in the base )...yours might be the same?!?! jeff.

Hi Jeff - Yes I discovered there is a float with a magnet in it which
operates a reed switch and in addition there was a small fruit pip stuck in the float chamber so I was convinced this would be the problem - but alas no - the reed switch works, but the problem is still there. The full model designation is GSF4872TW-WS or the model number 8546 372 01010. Thanks in advance for any other ideas, Mark... |
