are some more specification that I use for Google search: FD 840 000133 SE34E238SK/22



It may have become damaged by freezing during the winter. We now get it working by filling it up with water through the door. No big problem as it is used only during vacations at the hut.



Any suggestion how to fix the problem?


I think more detail is needed. You say you 'fill it through the door' and it 'doesn't start'. Presujmably water isn't getting in, but does it then correctly get its own changes of water?

'Siemens' on the initial page and drill down to the spare parts e- shop). The SE... number will be needed; I used it and got to the right diagrams for your appliance.

I would hazard a guess at a damaged inlet valve, but if it only fails to get water on starting then I'm not sure.

It finish the washing, and my wife has no complaints about the quality once it get started. Water pressure is about 13 meter, and that was OK for its operation before the last winter.
