Dishwasher Indesit DFG26B1 start and stops with 2 red LEDs blinking
This 4 years old dishwasher Indesit DFG26B1 nearly works. It will always start without any issue but after few minutes doing a bit of noise (sounds like water is flowing in) it will blink with its 2 red LEDs and stop. If I stop the machine and try again it usually does manage to run a while longer (I'd say 30min) but still does not finish.
I checked :
- the manual with troubleshooting section but I can't find the exact "message" there
- water from the pipe does flow in
- the filter from the inflow pipe is clean
- the inside of the machine is also clean, i.e no pieces obstructing any hole or filter I could spot
- I tilted the machine its side, remove the plate under the machine, all seems connected normally
- I pulled the machine outside of its nook to insure that the cables weren't bent and even tried a cycle outside
What could I try next?
Update (02/02/24)
I unplugged the appliance, emptied it, turned it on its side. Here is what I believe to be the pressure sensor. According to the few comments I read online it might be the culprit. I believe I need (assuming its pipe itself isn't clogged) is to adjust it. I might try to find the right screw slot and give it a very gentle turn.
Update (02/02/24)
And... it didn't nothing. Maybe :
- I have not have tighten up the screw enough,
- the tube leading to the sensor is clogged,
- this isn't actually the problem.
BTW I did blow into the sensor and it made a sound, I assume it works but might use a multimeter to be sure.

Hi @utopia,
Assuming that you have a cold water connection, after the machine fills, starts and then fails is the water in the machine hot at all?
Turn off the power to the machine when you go to check ;-)

Hi @jayeff, indeed it's a cold water connection. So assuming I manage to make it properly start (e.g restarting 5 times the process) and it fails "late" in the cycle, when I open the door it is warm (dishes are cleaned, hot, and steam goes out the machine). Still when it does so it doesn't finish the cycle, I assume at that point it's just about rinsing.

@utopiah
Is there still water at the bottom of the dishwasher?

@jayeff not that I notice no, seems to drain well
