Why my Indesit DFC 2B+16 UK Dishwasher doesn't start or respond to commands?
- D
  Dennis DavisAug 12, 2025
  If your Indesit dishwasher doesn't start or respond to commands, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure the appliance is properly plugged into the socket. If there was a power outage, press the START/Pause button to resume the cycle, as the dishwasher won't restart automatically. Check that the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a 'click'. If the door was opened during a cycle for more than 4 seconds, close it and press START/Pause. If it still doesn't respond, try switching the appliance off and on using the ON/OFF button, waiting a minute before restarting. If the problem continues, unplug the dishwasher for a minute and then plug it back in.

Why are my dishes not clean in my Indesit DFC 2B+16 UK Dishwasher?

  Margaret DunlapAug 16, 2025
  If your dishes are not clean after a wash cycle in your Indesit dishwasher, several factors could be the cause. Ensure that the crockery is arranged correctly so that the spray arms can rotate freely. Select an appropriate wash cycle for the load. Check that the cap on the rinse aid compartment is properly closed. Also, verify that the filter is not soiled or clogged and that there is enough salt in the salt reservoir. An excessive amount of foam can also affect cleaning, which can be caused by using too much detergent or using a detergent not suitable for dishwashers.

  If your Indesit dishwasher isn't filling with water and all the LEDs are blinking rapidly, it could be due to a few reasons. Check that there is water in the water supply and that the tap is fully open. Ensure that the inlet hose is not bent. Also, the sieve in the water inlet hose might be clogged, so it needs to be cleaned. After checking and cleaning these components, turn the dishwasher off and on, then restart a new program.

  If your Indesit dishwasher isn't draining, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the wash cycle has fully completed. Check the drain hose to make sure it is not bent. Also, inspect the sink drain pipe to see if it is blocked and needs cleaning. Lastly, the filter might be clogged with food residues, so clean the filter.

Why does my Indesit Dishwasher make excessive noise?
- A
  Austin GarciaAug 27, 2025
  Excessive noise in your Indesit dishwasher can be attributed to a couple of factors. The dishes might be rattling against each other, so ensure the crockery is positioned correctly. Alternatively, an excessive amount of foam might have been produced because the detergent was not measured out correctly or is unsuitable for dishwashers. To resolve this, restart the dishwasher by pressing the DRAIN button and run a new program without detergent.

Why Indesit Dishwasher finishes cycle prematurely?
- M
  Melissa JohnsonAug 31, 2025
  If your Indesit dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely, it could be due to the drain hose being positioned too low or siphoning into the home sewage system. Check if the end of the drain hose is placed at the correct height. Also, check for siphoning into the home sewage system; if necessary, install an air admittance valve. Another possibility is air in the water supply, so check for leaks or other issues that might be letting air inside.
