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?

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?

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

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 fifteen years out of the first one, and so far, four years from the current one
