If your dishwashing machine does not start, giving an error on the display, check what the code that appears means. Thus, the system signals you that the dishwasher is faulty. Knowing the error codes of Indesit dishwashers, you can easily fix the problem yourself.
What to do if an error code appears on the screen?
Experts advise restarting the machine three times. If the code returns again, you will have to disassemble the dishwasher and perform diagnostics using the decoding of the code meanings. How to reset the dishwasher:
- press the “start” button, hold it a little and release;
- after ten seconds, disconnect the washing mashine from the electrical network;
- After about twenty minutes, turn on the power cord again, wait a ten-second pause and activate the launch again.
If the error code does not appear on the display screen, dishwasher can be used as usual. Otherwise, the reboot should be repeated a couple more times. The worst case scenario is that the error persists and the unit has to be disassembled.
Deciphering the error codes of the Indesit dishwasher, recommendations for elimination
No other Dishwasher does not need a self-diagnosis system, like household appliances from Indesit. As follows from the statistics of service repair shops, this brand most often fails. The problem also lies in the fact that in the product line of washing mashines there are a sufficient number of models that do not have a display.
So, what to do if an alarm signal appears on the washing mashine display? First of all, don’t be upset, because everything can be fixed. In order for all actions to be correct, you must strictly follow the recommendations of the masters.
Just remember one thing - dishwashers Indesit devices with a display issue a signal with a code consisting of letters and numbers. Other models indicate a problem with indicators:
- AL 01 – for machines with four programs the first LED signals, with six - the third. Indicates that the sensor that monitors liquid leakage is triggered. Perhaps the machine was depressurized somewhere, or the operation turned out to be false. You will have to penetrate the pan through the side panel and see if there is water in it. If it is missing, the sensor is checked - it may need to be replaced. But if water is detected, it is carefully drained, the leak is identified and eliminated;
- AL 02 – second or fourth light (depending on the number of programs). This error appears if there is no water in the tank. The most likely causes of this problem are the water intake valve or the control board. Testing the second reason can only be done by an experienced specialist, but you can check the valve yourself using a multimeter. If the problem is there, a new analogue is installed;
- AL 03 – if the Indesit machine has four programs, then the signals will come from the first and second light bulbs.A device with six modes signals with lamps 3 and 4. It turns out that the Indesit dishwasher is not able to drain dirty water. Either there is a blockage or the pump has failed. It happens that the problem lies in a broken connection between the control board and the pump. It is possible that the board received physical damage, or there were problems with the firmware. In such situations, the pump and drain hose are checked for blockages. In addition, the pump is tested with a multimeter and replaced if necessary;
- AL 04 – the Indesit machine gives a signal with the third or fifth LED. In this case, the problem is with the thermistor. You will have to check it and the wiring connected to it and replace it, if necessary;
- AL 05 – the signals come from light diodes 1 and 3 or from 3 and 5. We note right away that the breakdown is not pleasant and means that the problem lies in the circulation pump, or the sensor responsible for the liquid level has failed. To begin with, the pressure switch is purged and tested with a multimeter, after which it is the turn of the pump. It is likely that you will need the help of a service center specialist;
- AL 06 – Indesit will inform you about the next problem with LEDs 2 and 3 or 4 and 5. This means that the intake valve is not working well. Perhaps the wire feeding it has come off, the contacts have shorted, or the control board has malfunctioned. We check the contact group and wires, change if necessary. Only a master can eliminate an electronics failure;
- AL 08 – the alarm comes from the fourth or sixth LED. This means that the thermistor in the Indesit machine has failed. The part is checked using an ohmmeter;
- AL 09 – the error is displayed by four light diodes. Indesit informs you that there is a problem in the control module firmware.Here you are powerless - you will have to seek help from an experienced specialist;
- AL 10 – lamps 2 to 4 or 4 to 6 are flashing. The error code indicates that there are difficulties with heating the liquid in the system. The water heating element, the wiring supplying it, or the bus on the control board, which is responsible for the operation of the heating element, could fail. The problematic element from the above list will have to be changed, but only a specialist can handle the tire;
- AL 99 – If your dishwasher from Indesit does not have a display, then you will not be able to recognize such an error. She reports that there is a malfunction in the control unit, the power cord has broken, or there is a defect in the socket or in the electrical network itself. Everything is checked for serviceability, the module, if necessary, is replaced with a new analogue.
