Possible Causes
Stuck diverter valve, Faulty diverter motor, Broken diverter position sensor, Wiring fault to diverter assembly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and turn off water.
Step-by-step checks:
- Symptom confirmation: Dishes in one rack may remain dirty while others are clean, combined with E19.
- Locate diverter valve: On many Vestel models, the diverter is integrated with the circulation pump or mounted on the sump outlet.
- Inspect for obstructions: Remove the sump cover and check for debris that could jam the diverter mechanism.
- Test diverter motor: Measure resistance of the diverter motor coil and check for free movement. If the motor is open circuit or seized, replace the diverter assembly.
- Check position sensor and wiring: Ensure the position sensor (if fitted) and harness are intact and properly connected.
After repair, run a cycle and verify that both upper and lower spray arms receive water and E19 is cleared.
