indesit dfp27b1 dishwasher mid cycle fault

[electrofix]

so if you try to run any other programme what happens ?

do programmes take longer than they should ?

does it heat because the pre wash does not ?

Rapid wash (40 mins) as an example 20 mins in pause light comes on and so do red salt/rinse aid leds. The machine just hangs no heat the programme does not finish. Stuart

may be a fault code
any other light on ?

a pic would be good when it stops

I’ll upload tomorrow stuart

[electrofix]

if the pic is too big then you have to host on an external site and post a public link

Dave

[qwer]

Not on any external upload sites. Tried reducing the size of the image to 16kb and I keep getting told I’ve run out of upload quota despite not actually posting an image!

i reckon thats fault 5 which is a pressure switch fault

the pressure switch determines water height

find the switch and make sure all the tubes to it are clear

My problem is I’ve unscrewed panel yet can’t fully remove it because part of the plastic facia is attached to the panel. I’ve tried gently pulling but fear breaking the plastic. Anyadvice how to remove please? stuart

[electrofix]

not sure about thid one but will take a guess

on the later ones the pcb is under the door in a drop down panel. the top of this panel sticks to the sound deadening and has to be eased away to hinge down

is this what you mean

Hi, i’m late to this one but I have the same machine with the same symptoms and the diagnosis makes sense. My problem is I can’t locate the pressure switch inside my machine anywhere for me to test/replace it.
is there a service manual that has an exploded view somewhere, or does anyone know where it is located?

Many thanks!

[electrofix]

well since you have a different machine we need a make and model

Dave

[Potato]

Sorry if I was unclear, my machine is the same as Qwer’s, an Indesit Dfp27b1.

Thanks

[electrofix]

was just double checking if it had a pressure sw

from memory its on the bottom right side

Dave

[electrofix]

ok we need to do more checking

looks like yours may not have one

to be certain i need more numbers

model no ( which is above but check there are no extra digits) commercial code and serial no

all on the label

Dave

[Potato]

The numbers and serials on the back aren’t labeled up to explain what they are, so I’ve just copied them down and hopefully you’ll recognise which ones you need.
