Awesome thanks rocks1 does that mean the pumps knackerd or just needs taking out and giving little tlc.

Yes pump is blocked remove base and follow waste pipe. Or you can remove the filters and tickle the 3holes in the sump with a metal coat hanger.

Hi,

Can anyone advise? I have an Indesit IDL500

My dishwasher runs the wash cycle, then runs the rinse cycle and before moving onto the Dry cycle the 2nd light on the washer starts blinking. I can hear water coming thorugh and going out the waste hose. I have to switch it off at the mains to stop this.

When i open the dishwasher, dishes are clean but wet and the dishwasher is warm, not hot.

I sent an email to Indesit who responded saying its the Solenoid Valve which is what is mentioned above.

Question:
is this easily fixed i.e by myself or do i need a engineer? Engineer costs £125 through the few that i have searched online.

Does anyone know anyone that can do this? I live in East london (5mins from Stratford)

It's not the valve it's the heater gone

 

[Dulz]

Is this easily repairable? Will I need an engineer? Estimated cost?

 

[rocks1]

Yes. No. £35.00

Rocks, looking at your error codes, I have lights 2 & 4 flashing which states the Heating circuit is not working but when I open the dishwasher it has been working, Is this an easy fix and if so can you tell me how. Manythanks

If its hot at the end of the wash then new pcb req.

Whats a PCB

 

[rocks1]

Pcb = printed circuit board. Does it get hot. If yes try a descaler first otherwise pcb is needed. If not hot test the heater should be 25 ish ohms if that's ok pcb is shot.
