Re: Indesit DI67 fault Pre Wash Cycle indicator Flashing
Yep, that’s definitely it. amazing what you can do with a bit of superglue, some PTFE tape and a new O-ring as a VERY temporary repair. Good enough though to confirm that there are no other leaks (for now!).
Now to track down a spare part for a more permanant fix.
I’ve contacted eSpares and if that fails I guess I can try calling Indesit UK spares direct on 0870 5585850.

Further revelation!…
On closer inspection I can see the leak is dripping from above the motor/pump. Eventually traced it to a trickle down from plastic fitting which feeds the upper spray arm. When I unscrewed this I could see that the plastic thread was split allowing the water to seep past the O-ring seal
behind the fitting.So now I am searching for a source of a replacement for this part. Either that or I’ll have to tray and bodge a repair!
Number stamped on existing part is 17400059306.

Replying to my own post…
oh well it was a good idea but no luck!It seems it is either the circulating pump itself or a leak nearby and just above – it’s damned difficult to see exactly where the leak is from.
I could get a replacement pump from eSpares for about £60 but don’t want to do this if I can’t be certain that is the source of the leak.
Guess I’ll check for blocked/split pipes first and then decide.
I hate replacing whole units if a few more years can be eaked out of them with a little care and not too much expense.

Just found this forum and thread while trying to fix my own DI67. As indicated in this thread the flashing indidator is a result of the flood detector.
In my case, and I suspect in many others reporting the same symptoms after 15 to 18 months of usage I believe the cause may be the failure of the sealing between the upper and lower parts of the stainless steel interior. I found a “string” of sealant bead hanging out from the join. I suspect this is a case of time to replace the unit but I intend to try a repair with silicon sealant – if it works fine if not I’ll have lost a couple of quid.
Interestingly we recently changed our brand of dishwasher tablets – I’m suspicious that maybe some brands are harder on this original sealant than others – or maybe it’s just old age and a rather poor design.Vic
