Indesit dishwasher D41
The first light is flashing green and the others are off. I’ve checked for leakes. Any suggestions. Thank you
Can you help please? We have a 19 month old Indesit DIF16B1 dishwasher which beeps a lot. If I turn it off at the appliance, it will often turn itself back on showing lights. The lights showing are; on, rinse aid (red) and the first light for the eco wash. I have filled the rinse aid numerous times – sometimes light goes out, sometimes it doesn’t. When I put the dishwasher on, it often beeps and stops after a few minutes usually during the first rinsing cycle. What is wrong and do I need an engineer to fix it?
i have an indersit DSR 26B1 i have both salt and rince aid lights flashing after it has run the cycle i think the problem is with drying cycle as sishes come out still wet but clean any ideas on a fix
