My Smeg dishwasher is showing error code 8 and will not work. I have found out on the internet that this is to do with the alternating valve which has some thing to do with the part load/full load wate reqierments.
Is this some thing I canfix my self or do I need to pay the huge call out charge that I've been quoted plus parts.

purchase and change the valve yourself.Otherwise you have to pay for someone to do it for you.Assuming you have a few tools there is no reason why you couldn't do it but it does involve getting you hands dirty.
