My indesit dishwasher is not drying when the cycle is finish

Try cutting the power to the dishwasher (remove the fuse) for about 30 seconds, then when you put the fuse back in, do it quickly and smoothly so you get a clean power-on without a lot of sparking. This may get the dishwasher controller to do a proper hard power-on reset.

If the problem persists, you may have a hardware failure in the controller. The first thing I'd look for is a failing electrolytic capacitor. Sometimes a power on-off cycle finishes them off. Fortunately, the parts are cheap and readily available from online suppliers such as Digi-Key or Mouser. Unfortunately, you have to have electronic component soldering skills to change them. Often, bad capacitors can be visually identified because the top of the capacitor is domed instead of flat, or for smaller units the aluminum casing is partly pushed off of the rubber or plastic base.


Contrast the bad capacitor on the right with the good one next to it on the left.

Possible burnt out heater element or defective control board.

Can you describe which lights come on please?

Hi, what you are currently experiencing is as a result of dishwasher detergent, combined with mineral deposits from hard water, which in yurn can leave a white film on the inside of the dishwasher.
You have to clean the dishwasher by sprinkling baking soda onto a damp cloth. Scrub the inside of the dishwasher to remove soap scum, grime and mineral deposits.
Pour 2 cups white vinegar into the bottom of your dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and run it on a full cycle. Stop the dishwasher halfway through the wash cycle and allow the vinegar and steam to work on the remaining mineral deposits for 20 minutes before resuming the cycle.
Open the dishwasher and dry the interior with clean, dry cloths. Keep the door propped open for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the dishwasher to dry completely.

If the dry cycle has a problem, check these:

Heating element
Drying fan
Thermostat
Heating element Your dishwasher has an electrical heating element that helps to dry the dishes. If the element is burned out, the dishes won't dry properly, and you need to replace the element.

Drying fan Many high-priced dishwashers have a small fan that blows air or heated air into the dishwasher to speed up the drying process. If the fan is defective, you need to replace it.

Thermostat Some dishwashers have a thermostat that monitors the drying temperature. If the thermostat is defective, the heating element may not cycle on or off properly. If that's the problem, you need to replace the thermostat

indesit idl 40 not pumping water out properly, ends with flashing light no 4 and plates dry but water still in machine -have to pump out using start stop button but within 2 hours base filled up with water. Can't afford massive call out prices as lady on my own.....

My dishwasher Indesit DI67S will not run on the number 1 cycle. It will fill and then when that programme finishes it jumps straight to the drying cycle missing all the rinses out etc. If on the number 2 programme it goes all the way through but then doesn't dry. I've also noticed that the water doesn't seem to be heating up much and certainly isn't drying. Is this the element or something else? Once its reached the drying cycle the light for this just flashes then I have a job to try and reset the machine. It can take endless attempts. Will switching the machine off at the mains solve anything or is it the element?
Thankyou

probably a bad timer.
good luck

I have the same problem. You need to switch it off at the mains for at least 20 mins.
