My Dishwasher seems to working be fine…
but this morning it had two error lights on it.. (from left to right)
3rd and 4th… which means the filter blocked.. i believe.. so i cleaned the filter.. Should there be water in the filter unit??
but after another Intensive wash… another light is flashing, I have now the first light flashing HELP…
i hope it’s not expensive??
Re: Dishwasher BFI620 error…
1st light flashing means that the base is flooded, a very common complaint on these Indesit made machines. It is often caused by using 3 in 1, 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 tablets. you should try to use separate detergent and rinse aid plus salt if required or try Fairy Active Bursts.
If you pull the machine out, place a few towels on the floor and tilt it to one side, you should find water running out from underneath. Try the machine again without any dishes or detergent.
You can also avoid the filter problem if you remember the saying, “it is a dishwasher, not a waste disposal unit”, rinse them plates off first 😉 .

Re: Dishwasher BFI620 error…
oh not good then,
the thing is, we don’t use tablets and we rinse our plates and stuff off before placing them in the dishwasher..
What do you mean by the base unit??
as there is no water in the actual unit..
Re: Dishwasher BFI620 error…
Base unit – the tray enclosing the underside of the machine. It has a polystyrene float in it with a microswitch on top. Tray fills, float rises, switch trips, fault code.

If i keep using it will it flood my house??
till i get time to empty it?? or could empty itself??
Re: Dishwasher BFI620 error…
Once the float switch has triggered then the machine should not fill anymore, it should just drain or do nothing other than flash the error code.
Re: Dishwasher BFI620 error…
Getting bored now…
Now the second light is flashing after the last wash… had every error going now??
I think i’ll do another wash and see~?!!??!
Any ideas?? has it just gone crazy??!?!
Re: Dishwasher BFI620 error…
Second lamp…….. inlet valve failure. Look, you’re getting nowhere with a pretty shoddy bit of equipment. If you like it, pony up and get some help. If you don’t, we know a man with a trebuchet.
We can sit here and tell you what the codes mean (technically….) until the cows come home. Until some practical investigation is done with the appropriate test equipment, you’re wasting your own time.
