But sometimes even the optimum appliance can have its setbacks. See a range of Indesit dishwasher problems and troubleshooting here…
Finding the Faults
Indesit dishwasher troubleshooting covers a whole range of issues including:
Indesit dishwasher not workingThis could be due to a faulty power socket or an incorrect rating of fuse. Extension leads may be defective. Filters, hoses, and insufficient water can all affect the dishwasher function.
Indesit dishwasher not drainingA waste hose that has been incorrectly attached could be the cause of this problem. Or the hose could have been damaged or trapped. This will result in the water being unable to escape from the appliance. Dirty or obstructed filters can also stop the water from emptying.
Indesit dishwasher not fillingIndesit dishwasher faults can include not filling with water. This could be due to issues with the water taps or hose pipes. And can be related to drainage plumbing. A technician with plumbing qualifications will be needed here.
Indesit dishwasher not cleaning properlyCloudy marks left on dishes and glasses need the addition of Indesit dishwasher salt. This improves washing performance as well as protecting your dishwasher. The salt provides sodium that attracts and traps the ions that cause hard water. Adding it to the reservoir regularly will ensure the softener is adequately replenished. Bear in mind that insufficient water in the dishwasher can also cause poor cleaning.
