Indesit 530 Green Lights flashing

[pbboy]

Hi there all
I have a Indesit 530 dishwasher only 14months old. The 2 green lights Number 1 and Number 3 are flashing and then the whole machine just pauses doing nothing. The manual suggests the filter is clogged but having checked this it is good. The machine has only ever been used some once a week or once a fortnight since we got it and is hardly used. Any ideas? Many thanks

Led 1= Prewash / 3hr
Led 2= Wash / 6hr
Led 3= Rinses / 9 hr
Led 4= Drying / 12hr

LED. illuminated
1 = Overflow ( water in base )

1+2 = Pump timeout, or Software recognition error ( timer not programmed, wrong keypad)

1+3 = Circulation pump not working

2+3 = Not filling

2+4 = Heating circuit not working

2 = Solenoid valve 'broken'

3 = Thermistor (NTC) cicuit not working

4 = Temp not reached whilst heating ( poss NTC detached from casing).

It is usually necessary to 'reset' the machine after a fault code has been displayed.

Resetting.
Switch dishwasher OFF, rotate the selector switch to STOP/CHANGE and switch on, after a few seconds the LEDS will go out enabling a new programme to be selected

Hey many thanks. So it looks like the pump is gone right?... When switched on water enters the machine then is drained out (soaked) then after 20 secs or the lights start flashing. Trouble is I cannot get a pump for less that £90-£100. Looks like scrap it and buy a new one.

Something strange is happening. Just tried it again after having the machine open all day and giving up on it. But just tried it now and guess what ?...it seems to be working ...???.....cannot explain this....??
