But sometimes features don’t function as they should. See a range of Smeg slimline dishwasher problems and troubleshooting here. 

The Basics 
A Smeg dishwasher not starting could simply be a problem with the power supply – the appliance won’t start if water is unable to be drawn from the mains water supply. Shut-off valves need to be open. And then the dishwasher should verify the setup and start of a wash cycle. 
If this isn’t happening the power outlet itself may be at fault. and household fuses and circuit breakers need to be checked. You’ll need to contact an electrician to safely inspect and put right any power issues. 
The water supply and the wash cycle will then need to be rechecked as the appliance may need to be reset – another task that can easily be done by a trained technician.

Range Troubleshooting

Step 1 
Turn on the oven if your kitchen is fitted with power switches for major appliances if the oven is completely unresponsive. Slide the oven away from the wall and ensure the power cable is connected to the outlet if you recently moved the appliance to a new location. Reset the circuit breaker or fuse protecting the oven's circuit if the oven if the outlet isn't working. 

Step 2 
Turn the child lock off if "Bloc" appears on the display when you press a button. Hold down the "Function/Thermostat" knob for five seconds to enter the oven's "Secondary Menu"; tap the dial until "Bloc" appears on the display then turn the dial until "Off" is displayed. You can temporarily turn off the child lock by holding the "Function/Thermostat" for five seconds. The lock returns when the oven is left inactive for more than two minutes. 

Step 3 
Turn off "Showroom Mode" if "SHO" appears on the display or if the oven fails to heat up. Hold down the "Function/Thermostat" knob for five seconds and tap the dial until "SHO" appears on the display. Turn the dial until the display show "Off." Showroom mode is designed to exhibit the oven's features while on display in a store. The controls are functional but the oven doesn't heat up. 

Step 4 
Turn off the power limited if "PO" appears on the screen or if the oven doesn't reach the desired temperature. The power limiter makes the oven use less electricity but causes it to take longer to warm up. Hold down the "Function/Thermostat" button for five seconds and tap the dial until "PO" appears on the display. Turn the dial until "Off" appears and use the oven as normal. 

Step 5 
Turn the oven off and re-enter your cooking instructions if "ERR4" appears on the display. This code indicates problem with the oven door lock usually caused when the door is opened just before the lock is engaged. Keep the door closed while the oven is programmed and heating up.

Refrigerator Troubleshooting

After connecting to the powermains, the appliance does not operate. 
Make sure the wall outlet is powered and that the appliance is plugged in. 

Cooling system has beenworking continuously for a long period of time. 
Too high environment temperature. 
Door is open too often or it is left open too long. 
Too much fresh food was inserted 

Excessive build-up of ice on the back wall of refrigerator interior may result form the following. 
Door is opened to often or it is left open too long. 
Warm food was placed in the refrigerator. 
Food or a container are in contact with the refrigeratorinterior back wall. 
Poor door sealing. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean it orreplace it. 

Water is dripping from the refrigerator. 
Blocked water discharge opening; or water from thawed ice is dripping past the water collection trough. 
Clean the blocked opening, e.g. using a plastic straw. 
If the layer of ice is too thick, defrost the appliance annually. 

Signal light D flashes.
Door is opened too often or too long. 
Door not closed properly (foreign object between the doorand the housing, tilted door, damaged seal, etc.) 
A longer power failure. 
Too much fresh food inserted at the same time. 

Door won't open easily. 
If you wish to open freezer door immediately or shortly after closing it, you may feel rather strong resistance. When the freezer door is opened, some cool air escapes from the freezer compartment and it is replaced by warm air from the environment. When this air is cooled, a sub-pressure buildsup, causing resistance to door opening. After a few minutes,the condition is normalized and the door can be easily opened again.
