Indesit dishwasher errors
No dishwasher in the world needs a self-diagnosis system as much as the Indesit dishwasher. According to statistics from independent service centers, this equipment breaks down most often. The problem is aggravated by the fact that in the Indesit line there are quite a lot of machines without displays. How to recognize their mistakes? In this publication, we will discuss errors in Indesit dishwashers with and without a display. We'll tell you how codes are decrypted and what to do when the code is decrypted.
What to do when faced with a code?
Do not underestimate the Indesit dishwasher. She's not that bad. In a number of cases, the error code can be eliminated even without disassembling the “home assistant”. Experienced technicians recommend rebooting the machine up to three times. After this, if the code comes back, you need to disassemble the equipment and diagnose it, based on deciphering the error codes. How to reboot?
- You need to press the on/off button and hold it a little and release it.
- Next, after 10 seconds, you need to turn off the power to the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the outlet.
It is not recommended to abruptly turn off the power to the dishwasher, especially without turning it off using the button.
- After 20 minutes, plug the power cord into the outlet and wait 10 seconds.
- Press the on/off button and launch the program.
If the error code no longer returns, it means we continue to use the machine as before. Well, if the code returns, you need to repeat the reboot two more times. After this there is no point in rebooting, you need to look for the problem.
Decoding and recommendations
Without further delay, let’s begin with the breakdown of error codes.First we will name the code for Indesit machines with a display, and then for Indesit machines without a display.
AL01, on machines with 4 programs - 1 LED, on machines with 6 programs - 3 LEDs. The general decoding indicates that the sensor monitoring water leaks is triggered. Perhaps there really was a leak due to depressurization of the washing chamber, tank, pipes, or perhaps the sensor worked for no reason, this also happens. What to do? It is necessary to penetrate the pan through the side wall and accurately determine whether there is water. If there is no water, then you need to check the sensor; it may require replacement. If there is water, it must be drained and the leak fixed.
AL02, on machines with 4 programs - 2 lights, on machines with 6 modes - 4. This error can be seen when the system detects a lack of water in the tank. In this case, there may be two culprits: the intake valve and the control board. A technician can test the control board, but you can check the inlet valve yourself with a multimeter. If it turns out that the valve is broken, it needs to be replaced.
AL03, on equipment with 4 modes - 1.2 bulbs, with 6 modes - 3.4. The machine needs to drain the waste water, but it cannot do it. The most likely cause is a clogged or defective pump. But the connection between the pump and the control board is possible. It is also quite possible that there are problems with the firmware or even physical damage to the control element. You need to check the pump and drain hose for blockages. Test the pump with a multimeter and replace if necessary.
AL04, on a dishwasher with 4 modes - 3 LEDs, on appliances with 6 modes - 5. “Four” tells us about problems with the thermistor. You need to check this part and its wiring.If the temperature sensor is broken, we change it; if the problem is in the wiring, we change it.
AL05, on a machine with 4 modes - 1.3 LEDs, on equipment with 6 programs - 3.5. An extremely unpleasant malfunction indicating a defect in the circulation pump or water level sensor. First of all, we check with a multimeter and blow through the pressure switch, then the circulation pump. If the pressure switch does not work, you can change it without problems, but you may not be able to cope with the circulation pump. If anything happens, call a professional!
To remove the circulation pump, you will need to completely remove the tray of the Indesit dishwasher. For a beginner, this action is almost inaccessible.
AL06, on machines with 4 programs - 2 and 3 LEDs, on a dishwasher with 6 programs - 4 and 5. The operation of the inlet valve does not meet the specified requirements. The problem may be due to a broken power supply, shorted contacts, or improper operation of the control board. First of all, we check the wires and contacts. Burnt contacts and broken wires should be replaced. If you find problems with your electronics, call a professional.
AL08, on a dishwasher with 4 modes - 4 LEDs, on a machine with 6 programs - 6. Indicates that the thermistor of the Indesit dishwasher has failed. The part should be carefully checked with an ohmmeter and possibly replaced.
AL09, on 4 and 6-mode machines - 1-4 LEDs. Indicates problems with the control module firmware. You need to entrust this breakdown to a technician, who will check the firmware and, if necessary, reset it or reinstall it altogether.
AL10 (F10), on 4-mode machines 2-4 lights flash, on 6-mode machines - 4-6. And this code indicates problems with heating water in the system. The heating element, its wiring or the bus on the control board, which is responsible for the heating element, has probably failed. The heating element, wiring or control board bus will need to be replaced. The first and second can be eliminated with your own hands; a specialist will deal with the tire. More detailed information on repairing heating elements can be found in the article The water in the dishwasher does not heat up.
AL99, on machines without a display this error is not recognized. This error indicates a malfunction of the control unit, a broken power cord, or a defective socket or power supply. Our task is to check the outlet, take measurements in the electrical network and make sure that everything is fine with the power supply to the machine. It is necessary to check the electronic module and replace it if it has multiple physical damages.
So, how to fix it, and most importantly, how to find the cause of the Indesit dishwasher error. First, you need to understand the decoding of a specific error, and as soon as you succeed, you can roll up your sleeves and start looking for the defect. Good luck!

The start button does not turn on. When forced to hold, three 888 are displayed on the display, what is this?
Reset programs
What is the F10 error?
Most likely there is a violation of the heating element circuit or it has burned out. The control relay may also be broken.
What is error A 5?
What is the I30 error?
F 4, what does it mean?
Good morning, error F10.
It starts to fill with water, then a beep. And 1-2-3 indicators start blinking and the water drains. What could happen, who knows?
Same problem, how did you fix it?
