Error codes for Indesit dishwashers

It is impossible to imagine the home of a modern person without a variety of home helpers, among which dishwashers occupy a special place. They have made it possible to significantly reduce the amount of time spent by housewives on keeping the kitchen clean and tidy.

Among the dozens of types of such devices presented on the Russian market, dishwasher models from the Indesit brand are deservedly popular. They are extremely reliable and easy to use.

As you know, manufacturers of modern household appliances provide their products with a display on which error codes are displayed in case of problems.

This solution allows unit owners to find out the reason for the incorrect operation or failure of their heating boiler, oven, etc.

For example, some Indesit dishwasher error codes indicate causes that you can fix yourself. Thus, dishwashers often refuse to function because the door is left ajar.

Error codes for Indesit dishwashers

The dishwasher has become a part of modern life. It provides comfort and leaves housewives a lot of free time. But, unfortunately, no matter how high-quality the car is, sometimes breakdowns occur.

Indezit dishwashers issue certain codes when an operational malfunction error occurs. The machine's digital display will usually start flashing.

Indezit fault codes help your dishwasher do a self-diagnosis. In principle, you can diagnose Indezit error codes yourself. But in some cases you need to call a specialist.

The most common error codes for Indezit dishwashers are described below.

DIY dishwasher diagnostics

Before you start repairing the dishwasher yourself, you need to find the problem. And the machine itself can help with this, because modern devices have a special algorithm that, when a breakdown occurs, performs self-diagnosis and presents the fault to the user in the form of a digital code.

This code will be displayed on the display of the household appliance, and on more outdated models the error is displayed in the specific activation of LED indicators. Well-known manufacturers of household appliances, such as Zanussi and Electrolux, have made the self-diagnosis process automatic - the dishwasher independently determines the malfunction and displays the code. For models from other companies, failure detection begins after entering a certain key combination. Information about the correct sequence can be found in the operating instructions.

Various error codes using the example of a dishwasher from Indesit:

1. E1 – signals that the liquid is not heated. The problem is due to a malfunction of the heating element, thermostat or control module.
2. E2 – pressure switch malfunction. A pressure switch is a sensor that provides the user with accurate information about the presence of water in the tank and its quantity.
3. E5 – water level exceeds normal.
4. E6 – Aqua Sensor does not work. This device determines the degree of water contamination. Triggers during the final rinse of items.
5. E9 is the most common error that indicates a malfunction and replacement of the heating element.
6. E15 is a code that signals both the activation of AquaStop and the failure of this function.
7. E17 – lack of water in the dishwasher.
8. E21 - there is no normal fluid circulation, the cause is a pump malfunction.
9. E27 - the industrial network voltage does not correspond to the norm.

Common dishwasher breakdowns

A dishwasher is a very important part of every large family’s life. Mountains of dirty dishes are a situation familiar to every housewife, which often spoils the mood, especially after a festive dinner.

In such a situation, a dishwasher is a real salvation, which saves energy, time, nerves, and maintains a good mood and cleanliness in the house. However, like any equipment, dishwashers can break down.

In this case, it is necessary to carry out urgent repairs of dishwasher breakdowns in order to maintain harmony in the house.

What kind of breakdowns happen?

Causes of breakdowns

If your device is more than five years old, then most likely some part has simply failed. Diagnostics and replacement of the damaged part will help to quickly resolve the problem. If you have recently updated your equipment, then the reasons for the dishwasher breakdown may be hidden in the following:

1. Cheap assembly or low-quality parts. As a rule, this occurs in models with a suspiciously low cost. If you are the owner of a Bosch, Indesin, Electrolux or Ariston car, then most likely this is not the cause of the breakdown.
2. Presence of food remains. Only dishes containing very small particles of food are allowed to be loaded into the machine. If this is not observed, the filters will become clogged, which will cause possible breakdown.
3. No power. A common cause of equipment not working is a faulty socket.
4. Poor quality detergents. As a rule, brands such as Bosch, Indesit and Ariston recommend certain detergents that do not harm the car. If you purchase a cheaper option, you will have to spend money on equipment repairs.
5. Incorrect operation. This may include general issues - the door not closing tightly, improper placement of dishes, loading items that are prohibited from being washed in the dishwasher, etc.

Determination of error codes for Indesit washing machines by model

You have loaded the laundry into your Indesit washing machine as usual and started the Sirki program:

• but the machine refused to wash; instead, the indicators on the control panel blink;
• the washing seemed to have started, but after a while you discovered that the machine was not working and all or some of the lights on the front panel of the washing machine were blinking.

Program interruption by flashing indicators can occur at any time during the wash, rinse or spin cycle and indicates a malfunction.

To understand exactly what problem the washing machine is trying to tell you about, you need to decipher the combination of lit and/or blinking indicators, which means the error code.

This article provides instructions for determining the error number by flashing indicators for Indesit washing machines.

To find out the error number:

1. Determine from the photo in the article which control panel corresponds to your Indesit washing machine model.
2. Determine which lights are lit or flashing on the panel.
3. Using the table, look at the numbers of the flickering indicators to find out the error code that the machine shows.

Errors due to flashing indicators in Indesit IWSB, IWUB, IWDC, IWSC machines without a screen

In these Indesit models, the error indication is indicated by the illuminated LEDs for the execution of program cycle phases (rinsing, spinning, draining, etc.) and the hatch lock indicator (lock). Any error also usually causes the additional function lights and the power indicator to flicker.

What is it for?

Most often, it is necessary to forcefully drain the water from the dishwasher when some technical problems have arisen with it and the machine needs to be repaired. In this case, they try to drain the water completely and as carefully as possible. After all, during the repair process, the case will need to be turned over, and if the water is not drained, it may get on the power board or control module, which will provoke another breakdown. A short circuit on the power board can cause a current leak to the housing, which in turn poses a direct threat to the life and health of users.

In slightly more rare cases, people drain the water from the machine in order to preserve it for the winter. If the Bosch dishwasher is used only in the summer in an unheated room, then leaving it with water during the winter is dangerous. The frozen water inside will rupture the plastic pipes and the machine will have to be seriously repaired in the spring. In general, we have decided on the reasons for draining the water, now let's see how it is done.

Removing liquid from the working machine

We decided that it is only necessary to drain water from a working dishwasher if we decide to preserve the unit until spring. This is what we will proceed from. In order to remove all the water, you need to do the following.

1. Select the water drainage program on the control panel.
2. We wait until the machine completes it.
3. We turn off the power to the dishwasher.
4. We turn off the water supply and remove the hoses.
5. Place rags on the floor near the right wall of the dishwasher.
6. Unscrew the garbage filter and the lid of the salt tank.
7. Carefully tilt the machine onto its right side. Some water may still drain out.
8. We drag the dishwasher to a warm, well-ventilated place and open the door to let the machine dry inside.

After the above manipulations, the machine can be put away in a dry place. Let her stand quietly until the next season, nothing bad will happen to her now.

Removing liquid from a broken machine

If the dishwasher does not drain the water on its own, then the above method cannot be used. No, well, hypothetically, you can also tilt it on its side, but then not a single liter of water will pour out of the machine, which will certainly flood the power board. However, this measure does not guarantee that all the water will come out of the system, so we offer another solution. What to do?

1. We turn off the power and disconnect the machine from water and sewerage.
2. Open the door wide.
3. We remove the lower basket and take out the garbage filter along with the mesh.
4. We unscrew the plug with the ion exchanger tank, where salt is usually poured.
5. We take a basin, an IV tube and a syringe. We connect one end of the tube to a syringe, and lower the other into the salt reservoir.
6. The trick may not work the first time. Try again, after two or three attempts it will definitely work.
7. We suck up the water with the syringe, remove the syringe from the end of the tube and lower this end into the basin. Water should flow by gravity from the salt reservoir into the basin.
8. As soon as we manage to drain the water from the ion exchanger tank, we throw the end of the tube into the niche of the garbage filter and perform the same operation.

In this simple way, it is possible to remove almost a drop of water from the machine. Subsequent drying will complete the job and the very next day, you can safely carry out independent repairs or take the dishwasher to a service center.

Why doesn't the machine remove liquid?

Why does water remain in the Bosch dishwasher? Why does the machine stop draining water at one “wonderful” moment? This is usually due to either blockages or malfunctions of the elements responsible for draining water, most often the former. The fact is that many users neglect the basic rules of caring for their “home assistant”. This leads to food debris clogging the garbage filter and water stops circulating, remaining in the washing chamber. Of course, under these conditions, draining it turns out to be impossible.

This problem can be solved very simply. You need to roll up your sleeves, open the washing chamber door, unscrew and rinse the filter and the nearby mesh. After such “spring cleaning” the machine should work normally. It’s worse if the dishwasher does not remove water due to breakdown:

• pumps;
• circulation pump;
• water flow sensor;
• control module.

In this case, you need to immediately contact a specialist. A professional will quickly diagnose, clarify what is broken and repair your “home assistant”, leaving you with valuable recommendations along the way. You should not engage in self-repair, especially in cases where you have absolutely no experience in such matters.

So, removing water from the dishwasher turns out to be quite easy, the main thing is to know a few tricks, and the rest is a matter of technique. We hope our tips are really useful to you. Good luck!
