Indesit DG6100W dishwasher will not work

same thing happened to me with my indesit w10.....so now i have touse a screwdriver to lever the door open (could always buy another handle, but hey...).

there should be a hole where the handle would lever the metal catch open...stick a screwdriver / spoon in there and lever it open...there's a technique to it but have a play around, you'll work it out... its easy enough!

check with whoever you order the latch from, usually parts are individual for electrical parts and never assume that the screw or washer will come with new one, save every piece.

it should connect to a metal cold water pipe

Hi, I have the same dishwasher and it fills from the cold supply, not the hot and it doesn't have a cold cycle as is previously suggested, as you will know kellyemb :-)

The Indesit DG6100W does a fill from the cold and heats as it washes, so if it's sticking part way through, it could be the heating element. Have you tried opening the door when it sticks and seeing if the water is hot? The heating element went on ours and it kept tripping the electric whenever the it tried to start to heat the cold water. If it is the element, they don't cost much to replace, even cheaper if you know someone who can fit it for you! Ours cost us around £12 and hubby fitted.

The only other thing I can think of is it might be the timer, like someone has suggested but how to reset it, I have no idea. I have seen on another website that a replacement timer is around £55 plus VAT, which is a little expensive.

Hope you get it fixed.

Is there sufficient spring reaction? Spring weak or broken? Has latch or catch moved? Is there adjustment on either? Is there debris stopping mechanism from working? Has door dropped?

I had the same problem, so I took the door apart as explaned above, found it was gunged up with residue from the washihg cycles. Gave it a good clean, while the part was disconected of course, and hay presto! the door works like new again.

should be able to flick it out with a screw driver...sounds like part of the catch is broken

there is no release catch. you will just have to pull hard!

I agree read "broken door catch" solution and be particularly careful in respect of the edges of the stailess steel panels - some of the edges are hidden and they are very sharp.

undo the screws at the top of the front door and puul the control unit out this gives you acsess to the door catch which is quite simple to replace be careful the stainless steel is quite sharpe
