Hi There,
I have an Indesit DIF04 dishwasher with lights 1 & 3 flashing. I’ve had a look into your error code section but this one is not noted. Could you let me know what this is relating to?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi,
I have an indesit DIF04B1 which has no power. There are no error codes flashing, no lights or beeps when pressing the button which you press and hold to turn on. The fuse in the plug is good and the mains socket supplying the dishwasher is also good.
Are there any main fuses inside?
I have an Indesit dishwasher IDL40. No lights or beeps when pressing the button , which you press and hold to turn on dishwasher. electric plug is good and mains socket supply is good. The dishwasher is good. only the button to reset and start not working. please help.
I have just ordered a Air break and turbine assembly from your ebay store. I have a indesit DIF 16 and have intermittent fill fail with Leds 1 and 3 flashing. I have checked the mains flow and it is good. The existing part is discoloured around the top right corner. Where the half circle path for the water is. The Impaler seem to spin and sometimes the dishwasher works ok sometimes it fails straight away and sometimes it fails on the rinse cycle. How do i get the old air break and turbine assembly off. is it a threaded ring on the inside of the dishwasher that needs to be undone.
Thanks Rob W

I have a Indisit dif 16b1 uk, the power light flashes, the dish washer stops
Turning the dishwasher on and off sometimes gets it to work until the next load, I have read somewhere it could be the water pressure sensor but its is very vague.
Hi there,
I have the indesit dishwasher DIFB 18T1 CA EU
When trying to run a program for example 6 that is the quickest one, it starts pumping and loading water and after 5 minutes it stops, and tried opening the door to see what was the issue, and noticed that the program changes automatically to 5 and the power light flashing.
I’ve tried with other programs and it happens the same in all of them, the cycle does not end.
Do you have any idea what this is about?
Thanks
Andrea
We have an indesit Dis 04. It runs a little while then beeps and we get LED 1,3,4 flashing
Botton 1’3 flashing
Not included in your explanations.
What is the fault, pls?
Going by the information that you’ve given me, it is very hard for me to judge. Whatever you have. It might be a better idea for you to upload a short YouTube video and send me the link so I can see it
Hello I have a indesit dif 04

Salve.
Ho un problema con la lavastoviglie Indesit DIF14B1,si blocca dopo circa due minuti dall’accensione e mi da ERRORE H
Di che si tratta?
My DFG261 also has the 1 and 3 leds flashing after approx 1 minute. There is the sound of water and then emptying sound. On/off led not on or flashing. I think my problem the same as Debbie above.
Certainly, here’s a revised and more professional version of your message:

Good afternoon,
Based on my assessment of the machine in question, it appears that there is an issue with the water intake. The machine is receiving water, but due to a malfunction in the impeller jug integrated within the matrix, it is not accurately registering the volume of water passing through. This leads the machine to enter a timeout phase, displaying a message indicating its inability to fill within the designated time frame. The fault code displayed on your machine, accompanied by the flashing lights, typically signifies this type of malfunction.
While brands like Hotpoint and Indesit have not provided me with a specific test procedure for this item, I recommend that you closely examine the issue and make an informed decision. Please note that once the part is fitted, I cannot accept it as a return. For more details, you can refer to the product on our website: [Ariston Bauknecht Hotpoint Indesit Whirlpool Dishwasher Air Break Turbine](https://shop.how-to-repair.com/products/ariston-bauknecht-hotpoint-indesit-whirlpool-dishwasher-air-break-turbine).
