Faults dishwasher Indesit dsg 0517

The head office of Indesit is in Italy, and the production itself is in Poland. The main feature of the equipment from this manufacturer is its low cost and good quality. That is why it is so popular among consumers. Of the main disadvantages of Indesit can be called the sensitivity of devices power surges in the mains. Like all household appliances from different manufacturers, the Indesit dishwasher dsg 0517 can have the following malfunctions.

There is no dishwasher reaction to pressing buttons.

If you turned on the dishwasher (PMM), but there is no light indication, and the unit does not respond to button presses, first check whether there is power in the outlet,to which the unit is powered. If the electricity is all right, then the cause of the trouble can be oxidized contacts in the distribution box inside the PMM. To access them will have to disassemble the device.

The box is located at the bottom of the unit near the front panel. This place can be exposed to moisture, which leads to rapid oxidation of the contacts. Unscrew them and sandpaper, then screw the contacts into place and try to turn on the device.

If the failure has not disappeared, then the reason may be in the defective electronic control unit.

The machine control module is a sophisticated electronic device that can be called the “brain” of an aggregate. It contains built-in programs and manages the entire “stuffing” of the MMP. Therefore, it is not recommended to repair this unit by yourself. Only a qualified specialist will be able to cope with the breakdown, and it is impossible to do without calling the master in this situation.

The water supply has stopped

This is a rather common situation when there is water supply in the water supply system, but it is not poured into the dishwasher. Dishwasher faults can be caused filter mesh or faulty filling valve. They are located at the very bottom of the apparatus, at the point of connection of the filler hose.

To check these items, you need to disconnect the device from the water supply and remove the panel. If the grid is clogged, it should be washed under a strong stream of water.

You can make sure that the supply valve is working with a tester, “ringing” the coil winding. To do this, you will need to disconnect from the terminals of the coil wires and measure the resistance:

1. If the tester shows a short circuit, this means that there is a short circuit between the coils.
2. A zero resistance reading on the tester means a winding break.
3. When the coil is intact, the instrument readings should have a certain amount of resistance. In cases of breakage detection, the defective coil should be replaced with a new one, with the same throughput.

Dishwasher does not drain

When the machine does not drain the water, but you hear a buzzing engine, it may signal blocked pump small pieces of food that have passed through the filter cylinder. Pumping water in this case will be impossible, and this will stop the program.

To unlock the pump, follow these steps:

1. First, turn off the PMM and disconnect it from the network.
2. Then remove the dish net from the machine.
3. At the bottom you will see the filter cylinder, which you will need to unscrew and remove.
4. The filter is rinsed under a good flow of water using a brush.
5. To open the pump, remove the remaining water with a sponge (if necessary) and press the pump cover until it clicks, then pull the cover, holding the handle, with a little effort up and slightly forward.
6. Check the pump impeller for foreign matter and accumulation of dirt.
7. Make sure that the pump impeller can move freely. It is recommended to use gloves to protect your hands, as there may be glass fragments in the pump.
8. Close the pump cover, making sure it is installed correctly.
9. Reinstall the filter.

In some models, the pump cover is removed using a hex screwdriver (asterisk), and after cleaning everything is assembled in the same way.

Another reason for the breakdown may be motor burnout. The motor windings are checked with a multimeter for a short circuit or open circuit, after disconnecting the motor from all wires. In the event of damage, the coil can be rewound by contacting experts, or change the engine to a new one.

Dishwasher Drain

If a door seal in poor condition, this fact can cause leakage and is determined visually. The seal is easily replaced with a new one.

In case of detection of a leak from under the unit, it is necessary to find the problem area by disconnecting the panel to access the bottom. The location of the leak is determined visually:

• the seal around the pump may be damaged;
• defects in the water discharge hose;
• flow in the drain system.

No water heating

This fact can be attributed to the main and frequent faults dishwashers. Water may not heat up for the following reasons:

1. Blown heater.
2. The temperature sensor is out of order.
3. Faulty timer.

The first malfunction is easily determined by tester on resistance. When a break is detected, the heating element is bought and changed to a new one. If you suspect that the second and third malfunctions can cause a malfunction, you need to disassemble the PMM, and without the help of a specialist you cannot do. For example, to check the timer, you need to know the algorithm for switching on the contacts for heating the heating element.

The machine does not dry dishes

When your PMM stops drying dishes, it may indicate that it has failed. fanor there is damage in its circuit.

The windings are simply checked using a multimeter. It is enough to get to the contacts and check the motor winding for resistance or breakage. When the fan is working, check the entire connection circuit of the device.

Dishwasher washes dishes

Water feed blades may also be contaminated with food residues, which adversely affects the operation of the machine. You can detach the upper blade by simply unscrewing it, and the lower blade by easily pulling it upwards.

Check the holes through which water flows, and clean them (if necessary) with a regular toothpick. After cleaning, the blades must be put in place.

The most common causes of a dishwasher malfunction were considered. Of course, it is impossible to describe all the reasons, but by following this algorithm, you can quickly determine the location of the breakdown and, if you can, start repairing the unit yourself.
