Hi,
I have an Indesit DFP573 EU, showing the error code A3. Somehow I cannot find the description for this code.
There is water at the bottom of the dishwasher, suggesting a pump error. However, this could be because the system shut down before pumping began.
I would appreciate some help!
Thank you,
JP
Hi,
I have this fault ‘Main board & Display communication error’ on my old indesit..it’s not a very good machine and i’m thinking it’s probably worth just replacing it, unless resolving the above is fairly simple ?

further to my last comment the indesit dishwasher of code A1 error is model DFP 573 EU.thanks
are you sure its a1 as f01 is Anti-flooding overflow check float switch and if water is in the base then you have a leak.

Hi
Unsure if you got this fixed, have had the same problem. Filter or hose blockage normally from grease. Try Soda Crystals, empty machine remove all the filters and check nothing is blocked, add soda crystals and boiling water, leave for 5 mins and use a plunger on the area where the filters are normally placed, leave for a further10 mins and then plunge again. Turn the machine onto a wash cycle, if the error code comes up again, repeat process. Use as much soda crystals as you like ( does not harm ) make sure water is hot. Once the machine goes onto a wash cycle let it finish, depending on how you have previously cleaned the machine? not a bad idea to run a second wash with crystals. It works, my dishwasher is proof of this.
Hi
We have an Indesit DFG15B1 just over two years old. For about a month it has not been completing a full cycle (think it’s error F10 led off/on/off/on – led 4 being by start/pause button). After washing it stops, F10 lights flashing and is emptying constantly with the rinse aid light flashing when we open the door. Both salt/rinse aid is sufficiently full. Please can you help?
Many thanks.

Hi, there is “10” flashing on the screen of my MVFTA+5H Ariston. I’ve heard two reasons for that: heating element and some generic “wiring fault”. Which one is true?
Many thanks in advance. Alex

Hi
I have an Indesit DFG 15B1 which stops after the first cycle, initial rinse/ soak, the appliance stops and will not move on. The rotor light is illuminated green and the salt light flashes rapidly. Both the rinse aid and the salt have been topped up.
During the first rinse cycle it fills ok with cold water then you can here it rotating. When I open it it, it’s not full of water, so presume the drain pump is working. Not sure how to interpret the error codes(lights on this machine as there no examples on the internet.
Can you help
Thanks Ant

Hi I have an Indesit idf125 and it’s showing wash and dry lights flashing when I run cycle could you please give me any idea what is the problem
I have Indesit IDF125 AAA class, it has not LED panel showing error, just 3 lights in a row. When i switch the machine on it sounds as though it is working for a short while but then the two outer LEDs flash and it switches off.
I’ve filled up the salt and rinse aid and ensures that the filter isn’t blocked, otherwise I’m it sure what to do next?
I have a Intergrated Dishwasher. I desist Type# LS12-EV03
Alarms shown are leds 1&3 on.
The machine goes through a complete cycle , filling ,heating, draining, but dishes are not washed .
It looks likes the washer arms , have not been used .
Is this a possible fault with the washer pump.
Thank you .
