Westinghouse WSF6606 Series Questions & Answers (page 4 of 8)

As mentioned in my review of my Westinghouse WSF6606W on 21 September: it is made in Turkey, "as are at least some of the Bosch models and presumably other brands if not manufactured in China, Mexico, or wherever".
Mine fitted onto the same (standard) tap as my replaced 14-year-old dishwasher.

Given the standardization of the likes of hose outlets on dishwashers and washingmachines, I doubt whether your old Miele would be any different, but can't say so with any certainty.
Suggestion: Try unscrewing a garden hose connector from your garden tap and see if it fits onto the dishwasher tap in your kitchen. If it fits, then the Westinghouse hose connector should fit as well. Because the "Aquastop" burst hose protection valve at the tap end of the dishwasher hose makes it a bit awkward to screw it onto the tap, have you accidentally cross-threaded the plastic hose connector on the metal thread of the kitchen tap? If the garden hose connector fits ok, then that is probably what has happened.

Good luck.

Found out the tap had a collar on it that had to be removed. Westinghouse now fits.

I have same issue. Did you find out what error means ? Or the fix?

Yeah mate heater coil diverter valve assembly was broken just changed it out was an easy job

F5 is a water supply problem. Check the tap is on or if there is an inlet filter after the tap that is blocked.

Hi Vanessa, Did you get this sorted? I have the same prob, wouldn't start a cycle, then i repositioned the inlet hose and it worked again for about 3 washes, but then again F5, plenty of pressure. Rang Electrolux, they suggested I contact the service centre.

Thanks for contacting me Shannon. The problem is intermittent. Last night I had it happen again and I couldn't see any problem. After 3 attempts (without altering any of the dishes etc) I got it to close. I've tried pushing in the top shelf support arms - sometimes it seems to do it but sometimes not. I really have no idea why it is happening. I'd appreciate any help you could give. Many thanks, Jenny

I get this occasionally, but always turns out the top shelf isn't 100% right. Try taking the shelves out altogether and see how it goes. If all good, then maybe try the top shelf on the other height.

Did you got this fixed?

Our machine is not quite level and so the door does not line up exactly with the opening. We just push the door on the side to close it easily. We haven't yet bothered to level it. Maybe you have a similar but more serious level issue.

Same error. What was it?

Hi Minyaka . You could try to remove the wiring to the heater element (the grey box). Though my guess is it may throw an error message about a fault with the heater element then - probably F6 (faulty heater sensor)

It was actually an F8 fault. We purchased the heating element thingo ourselves from a dishwasher spare parts place and installed it. (hubby is handy, luckily).

Hi my dishwasher has done the same thing do you remember where you purchased the element from?
And how hard was it to install?

We have had the same problem. They replaced motherboard 3 times then replaced dishwasher all has been good since January until tonight, it starts again. Turns off,panel flickers, so switch it off and it starts again. So now I have to waste my time getting this sorted once again, which means more time off work to meet technician, dodgy dodgy dodgy
