Re: Indesit IDE44 – Salt indicator and exchanger regeneratio
I though there is some water “stored” in the labyrinth and by opening the valve in the salt container it will flow to it and push some salt water into regenerator.
OK, lets say the dishwasher has ended by draining dirty water and now the regeneration should look like:
1/ opening water inlet valve and valve in the salt water container
2/ wait until water level switch opens (indicates the water has reached some level)
3/ drain the water outAnd let it as is until next dishwashing?
I don’t get your last question … what do you mean?

IT IS DONE.

But there is one thing I need help with – the salt regeneration. Now the “regeneration mode” simply opens the valve on the salt container for the preset time. This mode is applied at the end of washing cycles, when the water is drained out of the dishwasher. But I can’t see anything happening when the valve is open 🙁 There seems to be no water flow etc. Do I need to open the water inlet valve at the same time?
Thanks for help!
Re: Indesit IDE44 – Salt indicator and exchanger regeneratio
That sounds reasonable, thanks! Could you please confirm the number of washes as you promised?
Re: Indesit IDE44 – Salt indicator and exchanger regeneratio
I was looking for the float inside the salt reservoir and found nothing! There is something like a well inside the reservoir and outside it there is some kind of a hold, where the reed switch assembly is probably to be mounted to. But theres nothing … could it be that this model was sold without the salt level indicator to save some money?
Re: Indesit IDE44 – Salt indicator and exchanger regeneratio
Thanks a lot.
I was expecting the salt indicator to work as you described but I didn’t find the attached reed switch. Will check once again…
Ok, so when the wash will be over and the water will be drained, I will just open the solenoid valve for a while – seems OK.
One additional question: On the output hose of the main pump, something called ‘high pressure switch’ is attached. What is the switch used for?
