My Indesit dishwashers will not empty
We recommend that you ensure that the waste hose has been correctly installed. If your Indesit appliance empties into an under sink waste system please ensure that the blanked end of the waste spigot has been removed. Ensure the filter in the base of the dishwasher is clean and free from any blockages.
Check that the waste hose has not become trapped or kinked as this could also result in a failure to empty the waste water out of your Indesit appliance.

There is a smell coming from my Indesit dishwashers

My cutlery is becoming brown/rusty
Cast iron pots and pans can start to rust where they’re cleaned in a dishwasher.
This can result in the rust spreading onto other items such as your cutlery or the tub of your dishwasher. We recommend you avoid washing cast iron pots and pans in your dishwasher.

Cloudy/White marks are being left on my dishes/glassware
If you are finding at the end of a wash cycle that your dishes and glasses are appearing cloudy then this could be a possible calcium deposit. We also recommend use of ourDishwasher Salt, which improves washing performance and protects your dishwasher. Unique table form is easier to dose than ordinary dishwasher powder.

There is no electrical power to my Indesit dishwashers
Check that the socket your Indesit dishwashersis connected to is live by plugging in and testing another piece of equipment such as a radio.
Your dishwasher comes fitted with a 13 amp plug and lead, please ensure that the correct rating of fuse is being used. If you are using an extension lead you might want to try testing your machine with a different one.
Always ensure that the on/off or start switch is in the correct position.
For further advice we recommend checking your user manual – you can also download your user manualmanuals.
