We also dishwasher Siemens Lady Plus 45 is about 20 years old. After profound troubleshooting I found a defect on the AquaStop valve. The solenoid was blown. After I called the Siemens spare parts sales, I was first shocked by the price of this spare part. At Amazon, I got the part for my functional application for less than one third of the costs. Installation is carried out without any problems - that was worth it. Since the machine is running without any problems. I can truly recommend this part.
