How to fix white film on dishes in Indesit DSG 263 Dishwasher?

  oscarmorrisonSep 12, 2025
  If your dishes have a white film or limescale deposits after washing in your Indesit dishwasher, the refined salt level may be low, or the dosage setting isn't right for your water hardness. Also, the salt dispenser lid might not be closed properly, or the rinse aid could be used up or the dosage is too low. Check the salt level and lid, and ensure you have enough rinse aid with the correct dosage.

  If your dishes and glasses are covered in a white film or limescale deposits, it could be because: * The level of the refined salt is low, or the dosage setting is not suited to the hardness of the water. * The lid on the salt dispenser is not closed properly. * The rinse aid has been used up, or the dosage is too low. * The crockery is made from non-stick material.

  If the Drying indicator light is flashing on your Indesit Dishwasher, indicating a water loading solenoid valve malfunction, switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button and switch it back on after a minute. If the alarm continues, shut off the water tap to eliminate the risk of flooding, remove the plug from the electrical socket and contact Assistance.

Why Indesit DSG 263 is not taking water and the drying and end indicator lights flash?
- M
  margaret92Sep 4, 2025
  If your Indesit Dishwasher isn't taking in water and the Drying and End indicator lights are flashing, there might be no water in the mains supply, or the water inlet hose could be bent. Turn on the tap; the appliance should start after a few minutes. If indicator lights were flashing and no action was taken, the appliance might be locked. To unlock it, switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button, turn on the tap, and switch the machine back on after 20 seconds by pressing the same button. Reprogram the machine and restart the wash cycle.

  Jeff JohnsonSep 3, 2025
  If your dishes aren't drying properly in your Indesit dishwasher, it could be due to several reasons. You might have selected a wash cycle without a drying program, the rinse aid could be used up or the dosage is too low, or the rinse aid dispenser setting might not be suitable. Also, the crockery could be made from non-stick material or plastic. Check your cycle selection, rinse aid levels, and dispenser settings.

  If your Indesit dishwasher isn't taking in water and is emitting beeps, there might be no water in the mains supply, or the water inlet hose could be bent.

  If your Indesit dishwasher isn't draining, several factors could be at play. The cycle might not be complete yet. Also, the water inlet hose could be bent, the drain duct might be blocked, or the filter could be clogged with food. Check these components and ensure they are free from obstructions.
