Indesit dishwasher does not fill with water

Indesit dishwasher does not fill with water Progress does not stand still, for which I would like to thank him. If previously, after a celebration, a mountain of dirty dishes was left in the kitchen, which is why sometimes you didn’t even want to spend holidays, now you just need to put this whole mountain in the dishwasher in five minutes, after which the smart equipment itself will deal with the dirt.

However, no equipment is immune from breakdowns, especially after the end of the warranty period, so a situation can happen to anyone in which the Indesit dishwasher does not draw water and does not start washing. In this case, the equipment may make strange sounds or remain silent, but the essence remains the same - the device is faulty. But this is not a reason to give up, because sometimes the problem can be fixed even without calling a technician to your home.

What happened to the technology?

Of course, there are many reasons for the sudden lack of water supply; most of them can only be discovered by completely disassembling the “home assistant” and getting to its internal elements. But first, we will list the most common problems that can easily be fixed with your own hands, and even without disassembling the equipment.

Water supply. It may well be that right now your area is undergoing maintenance and replacing pipes. Check the taps in the house to see if water is flowing.
Dishwasher door. When the door of the device is not completely closed, that is, not until it clicks, the device will not start the operating cycle, so after supplying water, you should check the door.
Water supply valve. We are talking about a special shut-off valve located on the system connecting the dishwasher to the water supply.It is installed for safety, so that the water supply can be turned off at any time, plus so that there is no continuous pressure on the inlet valve. The valve can usually be found on the water pipe to which the “home assistant” is connected. Perhaps the problem can be solved by simply opening it.
Hose. After the first three options, it is worth inspecting the hose through which water gets into household appliances. It is important to carefully check it for damage and also make sure that it is not pinched or there is nothing heavy on it.

Each of the four listed problems can be easily fixed, but what to do if the possible sources of the problem have been checked, but the equipment still does not work? In this case, the device may require simple repairs. In no case do not forget to disconnect the equipment from the power supply before you begin diagnostics.

Let's look at common breakdowns

One of the most common causes of dishwasher failure in Russia is excessively low quality tap water. In some areas of the country, the water is too hard and the inlet valve filter becomes clogged and stops functioning properly. If this happens, then the water will either not be drawn at all, or it will do so too slowly. Therefore, a filter mesh is a necessity that saves fragile household appliances from harmful impurities and abrasive substances. It is very easy to eliminate such a nuisance.

Shut off the water supply.
Unscrew the water supply hose.
Pull out the filter mesh located where the hose connects to the dishwasher.
Rinse it thoroughly in hot water, remove all dirt with a needle, or soak the element in a citric acid solution for about an hour.

If even this did not help the machine start working properly, it means that some serious failure has occurred with the equipment. Most often, dishwashers “suffer” for very specific reasons.

The door lock is damaged. Due to the fact that there is a special lock installed on the door of the device, which can open the contacts and thereby stop the washing when the door is opened, its failure will not allow the equipment to start working. The machine simply won’t draw water because it thinks the door is open. This type of breakdown can be determined by the code that the machine will display on the display;
The filling valve is not working. This part in modern dishwashers opens after a signal from the device, thereby allowing water to enter the machine. If it fails due to sudden surges in voltage or prolonged use, then it will simply stop opening and letting liquid through;
The pressure switch is broken. This is a special sensor that measures water pressure. It is he who transmits information to the PMM control board about whether there is enough water for the selected washing program, or whether a little more needs to be added. If it is damaged, then the control module simply will not receive information about water pressure, and will not know how much more fluid is needed to operate. In the event of a breakdown, the equipment will not draw water at all;
Water leakage protection activated. A smart leak protection system called Aquastop can keep your device intact in many unpleasant situations. However, it is this system that, in the event of a breakdown, can block the water supply forever. This also applies to cases where a water leak actually occurs;
The control board has failed.The final reason is hidden in the most complex part of the dishwasher - the control board. This smart module activates all complex programs, issuing commands to all equipment components. And if there is a problem with the module, then there is simply no one to give instructions to.

If something from this list happens, it is better to contact a service center technician so that he can accurately determine the breakdown and fix it.

Most equipment malfunctions have long been described in instructions, so you can deal with all of them yourself. However, sometimes there are still situations that cannot be dealt with without proper experience and knowledge. And given that technology is becoming more and more complex every day, it would be safer to seek help from a specialist rather than trying to diagnose the problem and fix it yourself. This can only damage the equipment even more, significantly increasing the cost of repairs.
