Possible Causes

Stuck diverter valve, Blocked water channels in distribution system, Faulty diverter motor, Wiring issue to diverter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and water.

  • Check spray arms: Ensure spray arms are clean and can rotate freely; blockages can affect water distribution.
  • Access diverter: On many Bauknecht models, a diverter valve is integrated into the circulation pump or sump. Remove the base panel to locate it.
  • Inspect for obstructions: Check the diverter mechanism for debris or scale preventing movement. Clean carefully.
  • Test motor: With a multimeter, check the diverter motor coil for continuity. Replace the diverter assembly if open or seized.
