My DW (indesit ids105w) has been playing up for ages, sometimes stopping halfway thro and flashing the start/pause light.
It did it this morning, stopping 1/2way through the wash. Doing a google on the fault seemed to thro up blocked pump, so for the last 3 hours I've stripped it down, cleaned all the crap out of both pumps put it back together, stripped it back down again, when it flooded the kitchen :-[ and put it back together again.
Now it starts the program, stops after about 1 min with the wash light flashing and isnt filling with water now >:(
Maybe they dont like being tipped on their sides, ie the salt shifts inside the machine and blocks summat :-\
Well , Ive given up with for now, but if doesnt start working after ive given it good thrashing.....its new dishwasher time me thinks.....unless some bright spark on here tells me whats wrong with it....
ohhhhh just had a thought :-\

Have you turned the stop taps back on? ;D

We have two Indesit dishwashers.
The newest works fine and appears to work as it should........
The older one has developed a life of its own. Mrs V uses wash number 4 whilst I use 3. They vary wildly one day to another in the time they run.
|I used to worry about stuff like that being a portent of imminent failure or a fire. Now I just think of it as personality.......
How does the pump on yours get blocked when there is at least one filter?
-
kinked hose on refit? Although Indeshit tend to use those hard hoses
-
I'm intimately familiar with my dishwasher. It needs a new cutlery tray and a new soap dispenser (though current bodge working well), so probably cheaper to just buy a new machine?
-
Nope wasnt what i thought.....thought id left a very small push on pipe disconnected from the pump, but i hadnt :(

Might be, i'll check another time, im fed up with it tonight....and the connection hoses are very flexible soft, altho i didnt remove any, coz they've got those crap 'use only once' clips holding them on.

Doesn't HD come with the dishwashing feature enabled? ;D ;D

Didnt seem to be food waste.......more like limescale bits.....i didnt use to put salt in the machine as i always put 4in1 or 5in1 tabs in it......which has got salt included......but i noted from the instructions a while ago, they recommend adding salt even if the tabs have salt in them, so i have been doing so for the last 6 months or so....but it ran for 2 1/2 years without the extra salt.

Nope >:( Seems to be permanently disabled, perhaps TB can see if his tech2 can enable this feature ;D

PCB on the way out. Expensive fix

Eat more sausages that should get it working again, especially if you leave some.

Thats does concern me a tad with its original fault, it used to stop mid wash, but carried on heating the water, it used to make kettle noises heating the water.....neighbour of mine was very lucky a few years ago......hers actually caught fire, but luckily she and her hubby were still in when it happened, hubby had the common sense to kill the main circuit breaker and soak it with hose pipe.....apart from a wet kitchen, they were very lucky....

Bin it and buy a Bosch one :y fifteen years out of the first one, and so far, four years from the current one :y

I consider you a dear friend, Varche. I'll be over second week in August. :-*

Well, it lives again! ;D
No one spotted i mentioned that originally i flooded the kitchen floor after putting it back together the first time ::)
And the fault why it wouldnt fill with water, was coz the anti flood device was dripping in water ;D
Took it off, dried it up best i could, stuck it back on and its at present doing a 35 min quick wash.
We shall see if the original fault has gone too......but i was surprised to see that the main pump is an induction motor, so any slight bit of crud stopping the vanes from starting to turn is gonna stop the pump dead.
I'll try a longer wash tonight to see what happens :y
-
Call me old fashioned, but I have no such problems with my sink bowl and sponge.

In fact, just done the lunch dishes between these two posts. Five minutes?

If i didnt have a dishwasher, what would i do with about 20mugs, 10 dinner plates, 8 saucepans, 2 frying pans , etc ,etc ;D
Ive had one for nearly 30 years, best thing since sliced bread........when they work ::)
-
Oh and they're supposed to be more hygienic, because they wash at a hotter temp than you could keep your hands in :y

Dunno.....but would you trust a paper plate carrying it across your carpet with a roast dinner on it with lashings of gravy ;D

Fear not Dave, if you spilt any I doubt it would have time to stain the carpet before it got hoovered up.

We all wear them when we get together. So we don't get brown fingers. :-*

Will need more than a dishwasher to remove that image :o
...'Emergency Mind bleach to Sussex'... ;D
-
you could try the sensor that tells it its full of water.
If that goes wrong it'll get half-way through the cycle and think its got too much water on board and stop.
don't ask me how I know

whens the funeral then :D :D :D

I'm intimately familiar with my dishwasher. It needs a new cutlery tray and a new soap dispenser (though current bodge working well), so probably cheaper to just buy a new machine?
How does it come out? I've still got my hotpoint DW in the garden :-[ ::)
-
SWMBO has a reliable dishwasher, it,s name is very similar to mine :-X
-

It finished....so looks like its happy again :y :)

Start saving :-X

ooh! New dishwasher for chez Wood should be here any day.. :D If anyone wants any bits out of the old ElectroSux that's going on a one way journey to the tip. >:(

I'd be amazed if your newish bosch one lasts as long as your old bosch one.....
BTW my old dishwasher was bosch and lasted about 15years as well ...... BUT that was a £500 machine and when bosch were good at what they made.....i highly doubt bosch machines are as good these days..... this indesit was £200, so if it makes 5/6 years it'll be as good as the bosch :y
-
Ah, statistical observation. Must be accounts season ;D
How many years until it hits 6 ::)

Think front of door comes off (8 screws), then its "obvious". Whats your cutlery basket like?

Cutlery basket any good - the top that seperates the cutlery into individual spaces is, errr, long seperated on ours ;D
