Re: INDESIT IDE 1005 DISHWASHER A08 FAULT CODE
Ok understood.
I did the insulation test by keeping a crocodile clip on the earth from one probe of my multimeter and using the other probe on each connection terminal of each electronic component inside the dishwasher and I did not read any ‘short’ on my multimeter, so no insulation issues.
I have used the dishwasher twice today and its running well so I am now sure it was a dry solder joint on the timer PCB.Re: INDESIT IDE 1005 DISHWASHER A08 FAULT CODE
Hi Martin
I borrowed an PAT test unit from work and checked the insulation and earth on the dishwasher and it passed, and I also checked the heater element contacts which measured 25ohms which is about the same as the heating element on my washing machine.
I am not a qualified electronics engineer but I have a basic understanding of electronics and I know how to use a multimeter, I just don’t know what all the components are inside the dish washer or what impedence each component should read that’s all.
After testing all components under the dishwasher and feeling confident that all parts looked and tested ok I decided to trust my gut and when back to the timer PCB. After close inspection I had a dry joint on one of the relays on the underside of the PCB, the relay was almost floating on one of its 2 contacts. So after running some new solder over the underside contacts I refitted everything an success it fired up without tripping the RCD and its running through the program without stopping!
Thanks for your time and advise gentlemen.Re: INDESIT IDE 1005 DISHWASHER A08 FAULT CODE
Hi Matin. So I have checked continuity for any earth leakages and I can’t find any, checked continuity of all wiring and it tests ok. I am reading 25ohms between the 2 contacts going to the heater, is that small impedance reading correct for the heater? If so I am at a loss other than suspecting the timer PCB again, as I don’t know what the other motors and electrical parts impedance readings should be? Should I send off the PCB to get it tested before I spend £80 on a new PCB that I may not need, or do you think that it’s something else I have overlooked?

Sorry for the confusing Martin I was talking about the dishwasher, (I wrote washing machine by mistake my bad).
So after switching on my dishwasher it trips the house RCD, I have removed the timer control board and checked the components on the PCB but can not find anything obvious that looks faulty.
With the PCB removed I tried re-powering the dishwasher again and it did not trip this time but brings up a A99 fault code, I presume without the controller PCB installed no electricity will pass to the rest of the components in the bottom of the dishwasher?
My consern is that if I purchase a new control PCB it may only solve the origional issue I was having at the beggining and not the new issue of overloading and tripping the RCD? In your opinion do you think it maybe a faulty heating element that is drawing too much current by shorting out causing the house RCD to trip, or could it still be the controller PCB?
Regards

Hi Martin.
I was just about to make a start on inspecting the washing machine, before I had even touched anything I just switched on the washing machine as normal and it’s now tripping the RCD to the house, which would indicate something more serious maybe or could this still be an issue on the main PCB that would cause such a massive overload on power up?

Thanks Martin, I’ll try that over the weekend and get back to you. Looking on the forum someone said that the thermister is soldered directly to the main PCB, I will continuity test it with a multimeter and determine if its perminantly open circuit or not and order a replacement if its faulty.
