Hi folks - Any ideas or information on this annoying problem would be appreciated.
We got the kitchen renovated earlier this year. We replaced the old washing machine with a new one, and put in a dishwasher beside the washing machine. We're now having intermittent problems with an error code appearing on the washing machine which indicates low water pressure.
This doesn't happen every time, maybe 1 in every 4 or 5 washes. The manufacturers have been out several times and changed circuit boards with the objective of making it less sensitive, but the problems still occur. They tell us that the machine needs pressure of at least 0.5 bar, and we may need to install a pump between the supply and the washing machine. They mention that lots of building works in the area may be impacting the supply pressure and that the new generation of 'digital' machines are more sensitive to pressure than older models.
Is it likely that the kitchen works affected the pressure? Could the dishwasher be part of the problem? Should the requirements for pressure been made clear at point of sale?
