      If your dishes aren't clean after a wash cycle in your Indesit Dishwasher, several factors could be at play.

      If your Indesit Dishwasher isn't taking in water and is beeping, there may 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 beeps continue, the appliance lock may be activated. Turn the dishwasher off and on, turn on the tap, and after 20 seconds, reprogram and restart the wash cycle.
