My dishwasher stop discharging water - Indesit 24 in. D63S Free-standing Dishwasher

Hey David, make sure your discharge hose is completely clean...mine stopped up and did the same thing... Good luck..

i20 error code means:
Water is not pumped off and could be:

• Fault with discharge pump

• Discharge pump deenergized (faulty wiring or no activation by electronics)

• Obstruction/blocking (filters in the appliance, discharge opening in discharge trough, discharge pump, discharge hose, siphon, cover plug at siphon connection not removed during first commissioning)

• Discharge hose bent or connection height above 100cm

• Ball valve in discharge trough glued / blocked (discharge pump does not aerate)

or water level inside appliance is not detected and than
could be:

• Pressure controller faulty

• Pressure controller hose obstructed or bent

• Insulation fault with heating element

Kink in the line or possible obstruction in the discharge, very bad to leave stagment water in your dishwasher you can get contaminents that way, I suggest from experience and to be safe to use extra hot water and bleach a tablespoon or so, and flush thru there, also check the hoses make sure they are not blocked and thewre is an air gap, and the height of the discharge is proper. After flushing get a box of baking soda, and some distilled vinegar and under neath your sink you will see the discharge or p trap, either place that in there thru the sink drain or put in the dishwasher with no dishes of course and allow the vinegar and baking soda enough to just reach the drain turn off unit and let the vinegar bomb do its thing, this also works for your laundry drain too, always good to flush them every now and again, if you start getting water backing up in your tub, you need a pump of your septic tank, or a thaw, or if on city water and sewer, you have blockage, hope this helps, good luck

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote that will help you with your dishwasher not draining problem...

Dishwasher Problems - Water will not drain out

heatman101

Check your main drain system. Remove the drain hose from that end and discharge them in a bucket. Try a new wash an if the m/c drain system is ok, it will discharge water in the bucket.

Check the house main drain for clogging at the hose connecting end.

Before we jump to conclusions, you can try to clear element that discharges the water. The wholes in these units can become clog do to the detergent as well as food. Most Bosch units allow you to unscrew these pretty easily. Blow through them, or use a plastic tooth pick to clear any obstructions or both. Before you reattach, turn on dishwasher and listen to hear how much water is shooting out at the discharge points. Most Bosch have two discharge points one for the top and of course one for the bottom. Reattach units and Run dishwasher.

Should this fail it could very well be the circulating pump.

The check valve might be stuck. The valve is supposed to let the water out but stop it from flowing back in. Also make sure you discharge line has a loop. And check your air gap at the sink(if you have one) and make sure it is not plugged.

First check that there isn't anything blocking the drain area inside the bottom of the dishwasher. Sometimes plastic wrap, a small Tupperware, etc. top gets sucked against the drain and blocks discharge. If nothing is there, (look really good, by getting out as much water as possible!!!). If nothing there, see if you have an "air-break" installed at the kitchen sink, this prevents backflow from the sink drain back into the dishwasher, check it by removing the decorative cover and see if it is clean and has no obstructions blocking water flow.

Another thing to check, is if you recently had a new disposal installed, it's possible that the dishwasher inlet was never "punched out" to allow for the dishwasher to drain thru the disposal. If none of those, continue with the investigation!

Check to see if some broken glass might have worked its' way into the drain area, beneath the drain discharge guard. You'll have to remove the cover, some are just clipped in place while others have a screw holding them in place.

If still nothing, it is possible that something has worked its' way all the way into the discharge pump section and you'll need to remove the dishwasher from under the counter to get at the pump section.

Normally when the dishwasher is in the pump out sequence, you can hear the pump motor and impeller spinning, if you can't, then proceed with removing the dishwasher and disconnect the power or shut off the breaker to it. It is quite possible that something has jammed the discharge impeller and is preventing pump out. Again, if you can hear the motor and impeller running, it could still have an obstruction. Bucket and towels will be needed to soak up all any water that you couldn't remove before pulling the dishwasher out from under the countertop.

If there is no obstruction in the discharge pump section and the discharge value (usually a simple rubber flap) is moving freely, then it could be the pump out solinoid (an electronic valve that opens the discharge port for pumping out water when the dishwasher is done washing and is signaled to drain. You should be able to cycle the dishwasher through a short cycle (wash & rinse) to see if everything is working OK. You'll need to reconnect the power, water inlet and discharge (drain) lines first to check this option.

If you don't see or hear the valve open up when the wash cycle is over, then it could be this part that has failed.
