Indesit IDL 730 dishwasher fault

[BugBlaster]

The washer runs, at end of cycle, no arms have rotated, and light 4 (drying) flashes once a second, while light (Rince aid) light flashes 2seconds on, 2 seconds off. Seems to be some heat in the water, so heater may be ok. Quick look at filters look clean enough. Any ideas/info appreciated,
Thanks

Ignore the rinse aid, unless you want to use rinse aid, its just telling you the compartment for the rinse aid is empty. 🙂

Light four flashing is A08, heater time out. It could be a heater failing under load, a loose NTC inside the door or a main PCB fault.

A megger across the heater terminals once you have removed the mains plug is the first thing to test.

Both heaters and PCB’s are very prone to failure on these. 😥

Are the spray arms not rotating during the wash cycle if you open the door quickly, is there any water spraying out of them?

Ran quick cycle again just to check, water heat is ok, the arms do not rotate as they are still in the exact same positon top and bottom as i left them. they both rotate freely, the filter is clean.

When you say they do not rotate, is there any water spraying out of them if you open the door quickly mid cycle?

If not then its very likely the main pump has failed, quite common but it should still give out an error code. 😕

Water gets in there, no rotation on arms, didnt actually see how it gets there. there are pump sounds and water flowing 🙂
Going to take it apart in thenext hour or so and see whats up.

It looks like the top shelf water intake inlet is missing a rubber grommit into which the upper tray inserts :rolls: . Ive ordered the part from espares. 😀

Thanks for the help

Thanks for your support, you could’ve asked as we’re usually a lot cheaper than eSpares. 😉

Also note that eSpares don’t offer any support of the nature you got here.

Sorry but I’m sure you can understand that we like to be appreciated as much as anyone else does and the guys do a sterling job offering free help and advice, we put a lot back into the industry helping the repairers, no other spares supplier does that.
