Hi I got a new toilet fitted yesterday and had to turn off the mains but the dishwasher INDESIT INTERGRATED DIF 0481 was stopped part way through cycle as I forgot to turn it off when I switched the mains off.. Now after couple of mins ALL LIGHTS are flashing and beeping.I've done all the obvious checks for blockages etc pulled the plug out for 30 mins etc .It sounds like the pump is working but no water coming in.I've put water in the bottom to see if it drains which it does but no water coming in ? Please help, it's 1 month out of its 12 month warranty. Many thanks Janet
Turn off the water to the dishwasher and unplug it. Disconnect the water line to the dishwasher and place it in a bucket. Have somebody turn the water back on until water goes into the bucket (it may spit, then spray hard), then immediately turn the water off. (If there is a shutoff right at the dishwasher, this is a one-person job. If not, you'll have to holler to the person standing by at the main valve.) Reconnect the water line.
This should take care of any vacuum/air lock issues at the inlet; if the dishwasher doesn't see water flow right away, it may be tripping the error signal.
The worst case I can imagine is that the inlet water solenoid valve overheated because it was on for a long time with no water flowing through it. It may be stuck or burned out.
Testimonial: "Unfortunately after doing what u suggested, the pipe had no airlock in and hasn’t fixed the problem as all lights are still flashing.. but thankyou for trying to help xx"
