PMM error codes on BIT100 and DIWA boards
The listed control modules are installed on dishwasher models Indesit D 41/42, DC 27, DI 45/450/460, IDE 100/1000/1005/44/45, IDL 40/410/411/42/420, IDL 557, IDL 70/7021/710.
In general, the display of error codes by LEDs on Indesit PMM models with BIT100 and DIWA control modules repeats the indication on models with DEA 601/602/700 boards with two exceptions:
- on control panels with 6 LEDs for washing programs, all 6 LEDs are used to indicate the error code (numbered from the far left);
- The set of error codes is slightly different.
In the table below, for those error codes that generally coincide with similar errors for DEA 601/602/700 boards, instead of repeating a detailed description, links to the previous table will be provided. But keep in mind that in operating mode, only errors AL06 (“Water tap closed”), AL05 (“Filters clogged”) and AL02 (“Fill valve faulty”) are available to users.

Error codes for Indesit dishwashers
It is impossible to imagine the home of a modern person without a variety of home helpers, among which dishwashers occupy a special place. They have made it possible to significantly reduce the amount of time spent by housewives on keeping the kitchen clean and tidy.
Among the dozens of types of such devices presented on the Russian market, dishwasher models from the Indesit brand are deservedly popular. They are extremely reliable and easy to use.
As you know, manufacturers of modern household appliances provide their products with a display on which error codes are displayed in case of problems.
This solution allows unit owners to find out the reason for the incorrect operation or failure of their heating boiler, oven, etc.
For example, some Indesit dishwasher error codes indicate causes that you can fix yourself. Thus, dishwashers often refuse to function because the door is left ajar.
Deciphering the error codes of the Indesit dishwasher, recommendations for elimination
No other dishwasher needs a self-diagnosis system like household appliances from Indesit. As follows from the statistics of service repair shops, this brand most often fails. The problem also lies in the fact that in the product line of cars there are a sufficient number of models that do not have a display.
So, what to do if an alarm signal appears on the car display? First of all, don’t be upset, because everything can be fixed. In order for all actions to be correct, you must strictly follow the recommendations of the masters.
Just remember one thing - Indesit dishwashers with a display give out a signal with a code consisting of letters and numbers. Other models indicate a problem with indicators:
- AL 01 - for machines with four programs, the first LED signals, with six - the third. Indicates that the sensor that monitors liquid leakage is triggered. Perhaps the machine was depressurized somewhere, or the operation turned out to be false. You will have to penetrate the pan through the side panel and see if there is water in it. If it is missing, the sensor is checked - it may need to be replaced. But if water is detected, it is carefully drained, the leak is identified and eliminated;
- AL 02 – second or fourth light (depending on the number of programs). This error appears if there is no water in the tank. The most likely causes of this problem are the water intake valve or the control board. Testing the second reason can only be done by an experienced specialist, but you can check the valve yourself using a multimeter. If the problem is there, a new analogue is installed;
- AL 03 - if the Indesit machine has four programs, then the signals will come from the first and second bulbs. A device with six modes signals with lamps 3 and 4. It turns out that the Indesit dishwasher is not able to drain dirty water. Either there is a blockage or the pump has failed. It happens that the problem lies in a broken connection between the control board and the pump. It is possible that the board received physical damage, or there were problems with the firmware. In such situations, the pump and drain hose are checked for blockages. In addition, the pump is tested with a multimeter and replaced if necessary;
- AL 04 - Indesit machine gives a signal with the third or fifth LED. In this case, the problem is with the thermistor. You will have to check it and the wiring connected to it and replace it, if necessary;
- AL 05 - signals come from light diodes 1 and 3 or from 3 and 5. We note right away that the breakdown is not pleasant and means that the problem lies in the circulation pump, or the sensor responsible for the liquid level has failed. To begin with, the pressure switch is purged and tested with a multimeter, after which it is the turn of the pump. It is likely that you will need the help of a service center specialist;
- AL 06 - Indesit will inform you about the next problem with LEDs 2 and 3 or 4 and 5. This means that the intake valve is not working well. Perhaps the wire feeding it has come off, the contacts have shorted, or the control board has malfunctioned. We check the contact group and wires, change if necessary. Only a master can eliminate an electronics failure;
- AL 08 – alarm comes from the fourth or sixth LED. This means that the thermistor in the Indesit machine has failed. The part is checked using an ohmmeter;
- AL 09 – the error is displayed by four light diodes. Indesit informs you that there is a problem in the control module firmware. Here you are powerless - you will have to seek help from an experienced specialist;
- AL 10 – lamps 2 to 4 or 4 to 6 are flashing. The error code indicates that there are difficulties with heating the liquid in the system. The water heating element, the wiring supplying it, or the bus on the control board, which is responsible for the operation of the heating element, could fail. The problematic element from the above list will have to be changed, but only a specialist can handle the tire;
- AL 99 - if your dishwasher from Indesit does not have a display, then you will not be able to recognize such an error. She reports that there is a malfunction in the control unit, the power cord has broken, or there is a defect in the socket or in the electrical network itself. Everything is checked for serviceability, the module, if necessary, is replaced with a new analogue.

Common dishwasher breakdowns
A dishwasher is a very important part of every large family’s life. Mountains of dirty dishes are a situation familiar to every housewife, which often spoils the mood, especially after a festive dinner.
In such a situation, a dishwasher is a real salvation, which saves energy, time, nerves, and maintains a good mood and cleanliness in the house. However, like any equipment, dishwashers can break down.
In this case, it is necessary to carry out urgent repairs of dishwasher breakdowns in order to maintain harmony in the house.
What kind of breakdowns happen?
Causes of breakdowns
If your device is more than five years old, then most likely some part has simply failed. Diagnostics and replacement of the damaged part will help to quickly resolve the problem. If you have recently updated your equipment, then the reasons for the dishwasher breakdown may be hidden in the following:
- Cheap assembly or low-quality parts. As a rule, this occurs in models with a suspiciously low cost. If you are the owner of a Bosch, Indesin, Electrolux or Ariston car, then most likely this is not the cause of the breakdown.
- Presence of food remains. Only dishes containing very small particles of food are allowed to be loaded into the machine. If this is not observed, the filters will become clogged, which will cause possible breakdown.
- No power. A common cause of equipment not working is a faulty socket.
- Poor quality detergents. As a rule, brands such as Bosch, Indesit and Ariston recommend certain detergents that do not harm the car. If you purchase a cheaper option, you will have to spend money on equipment repairs.
- Incorrect operation. This may include general issues - the door not closing tightly, improper placement of dishes, loading items that are prohibited from being washed in the dishwasher, etc.
How does a dishwasher work?
To repair a dishwasher, you need to understand the processes that occur in it. This is the only way to determine the possible causes of the breakdown and eliminate them as soon as possible.
Let us describe the general principle of operation of a dishwasher. The operating algorithm is usually the same for all manufacturers, although some changes may occur. Next, we will describe the most time-consuming process - washing dirty dishes with time to “acidify” the remaining food.
- After loading the dishes, the door closes. This is recorded by a special sensor. If the lock is not closed, the dishwasher will not start.
- The user selects the dishwasher operating mode and presses the “Start” button.
Rinse water is supplied from all sides - The water intake valve opens and it is pumped into a special tank. Along the way, it is mixed with softening salts and detergent. The water level is controlled by appropriate sensors.
- The tank contains heating elements - heating elements. They heat the water to the required temperature (depending on the selected mode). The degree of heating is controlled by a temperature sensor. The process continues only if the sensor is triggered.
- Heated water is supplied by a circulation pump to nozzles located on the side surfaces and sprayed in small portions. This is the "soak" mode.
- The liquid draining from the dishes is collected in a tray, passes through filters, and is again supplied to the nozzles.
- At the end of the time allotted for this mode (controlled by the processor), the rinsing mode is activated.
- In this mode, water is supplied from the main sprinkler, which is located under the basket with dishes. Powerful jets of water directed in different directions wash away any remaining dirt.
- The process goes on cyclically - the water is filtered, more detergent is added to it, and it again ends up in the sprinkler.
This is how the final removal of contaminants occurs. The number of cycles depends on the selected program. Water is supplied from the nozzles under pressure - After this mode ends (controlled by the processor), a command is given to drain the dirty water. The pump pumps it out of the reservoir.
- A small portion of water is pumped in to rinse the tank and removed again.
- Water is collected for rinsing. It is fed into a sprayer, which sprays it in different directions, washing the dishes from all sides. The rinsing process can be repeated several times.
- Waste water from the reservoir is pumped into the sewer system.
- Drying mode is activated. It all depends on the type of dishwasher. If there is a drying mode, heating elements are turned on to heat the air. Heated air is forced into the chamber using a fan. If there is no such mode, the dishwasher simply turns off - the dishes dry by convection.
As you can see, a large number of sensors are involved in the process. All of them can fail and cause a breakdown. Filters, nozzles, and sprinklers may also become clogged. All these are causes of failure.

Determination of error codes for Indesit washing machines by model
You have loaded the laundry into your Indesit washing machine as usual and started the Sirki program:
- but the machine refused to wash; instead, the indicators on the control panel blink;
- the washing seemed to have started, but after a while you discovered that the machine was not working and all or some of the lights on the front panel of the washing machine were blinking.
Program interruption by flashing indicators can occur at any time during the wash, rinse or spin cycle and indicates a malfunction.
To understand exactly what problem the washing machine is trying to tell you about, you need to decipher the combination of lit and/or blinking indicators, which means the error code.
This article provides instructions for determining the error number by flashing indicators for Indesit washing machines.
To find out the error number:
- Determine from the photo in the article which control panel corresponds to your Indesit washing machine model.

Repair of Indesit dishwashers at home
Indesit brand household appliances have an affordable price and average build quality. Malfunctions most often appear 12-24 months after purchase. PMMs are sensitive to voltage changes and water quality. Repair of an Indesit dishwasher can be carried out either independently or with the assistance of specialists.
Main causes of breakdowns
It is not difficult to identify a malfunction; you just need to analyze the signs of a breakdown. The machine may not turn on or display an error code. The most common malfunctions that occur are:
- Burnout of heating element. Leads to a decrease in the quality of dishwashing. The device stops heating water. In this case, you should check the condition of the wires and the heater itself. Less often, breakdowns occur in the electronic module responsible for heating the water.
- The appearance of extraneous sounds. This happens when the bearing wears out. The part fails due to leaching of the lubricant and thinning of the oil seal. In this case, disassemble the pump and replace the bearing. Noise may also occur due to glass fragments getting into the pump impeller.
- Lack of water supply. The reason lies in the clogging of the elements of the fill system. All parts need to be inspected and cleaned.
- Water leak. The reason is wear or displacement of the seal. The car tank leaks less often. The device will have to be disassembled and the damaged part replaced.
- No drain. Observed when the drain pump, hose or filter is clogged.
How to repair it yourself
If there are minor faults, you can repair the Indesit ICD 661 dishwasher yourself.
Replacing the heating element
Due to the use of hard water, the heating element becomes covered with scale over time. The plaque layer increases, the heating element overheats and fails. Failure of this part increases energy costs. You can repair this part of the dishwasher as follows:
- the device is disconnected from the power supply network, the water supply tap is turned off;
- the car is turned over on its side;
- remove the bottom cover;
- inspect the pump (in Indesit dishwashers and washing machines the heating element is connected to this part; before removing the heater, you need to check the condition of the pump);
- replace the pump (if a malfunction is detected when checking with an ohmmeter, the part is replaced);
- disconnect the heating element wiring, check the contacts;
- remove the heating element (if the part is covered with a thick layer of plaque, unclench the clamps and disconnect the heater, then turn off the pump and remove the heating element from the housing);
- replace the pump seal;
- the protruding parts of the heater are treated with lubricant;
- install the heating element (the removed clamps are replaced with new ones).
Cleaning and replacing the drain pump
If PMM Indesit DSG 0517 does not drain water, check the drainage system after the program is completed. To do this you need:
- open the door, remove all trays and shelves;
- remove the mesh filter located at the bottom of the device;
- rinse the parts with a stream of water (if parts of the filter are very dirty, clean them with a brush);
- open the pump, inspect and clean the impeller;
- check the serviceability of the pump (you can get to this part through the bottom of the dishwasher);
- disconnect the wires and check the terminals using an ohmmeter;
- remove and replace the pump.
Replacing the door seal
When the seal becomes thin or dislodged, the machine begins to leak. You can replace the part yourself. To do this you need to do the following:
- open the camera door;
- remove the seal around the perimeter of the opening;
- take a new gasket and install it, straightening it around the perimeter;
- cut off excess material with a knife;
- evaluate the quality of installation by starting the machine.
To replace the lower seal you need:
- open the hopper door;
- Unscrew the screws located on the inside of the door;
- lift the door, pull, remove the outer panel;
- open the door again, remove the basket from the chamber (the seal is visible at the bottom);
- remove the cushioning material by grasping its edge with tweezers;
- insert a new seal (there is a mark on the right side of the product to facilitate the installation process);
- assemble the door.
Problems with the control board
The control unit is an expensive and fragile part. Each part of the module is responsible for the functioning of certain elements of the machine. It is recommended to trust the repair of the board to specialists. Checking a part includes the following steps:
- removing the front door panel;
- removing the clamps holding the control panel;
- disconnecting the wire connected to the module;
- removing the bolts connecting the board to the panel;
- disconnecting the wiring (before starting this stage of work, it is recommended to photograph the connectors);
- inspection of the part for defects;
- installation of a new board in case of breakdown.
Checking the filling system
Slow water intake indicates a clogged filling system. Check this part of the dishwasher as follows:
- turn off the water supply tap;
- disconnect the drain hose from the device body, the second end of the flexible tube is disconnected from the water supply;
- the hose is washed with a stream of water;
- remove and inspect the strainer located in front of the inlet valve;
- the filter is cleaned of contaminants;
- assess the condition of the intake valve (if there is no blockage, check the electronic parts with an ohmmeter; if faulty, replace the valve).
Another reason for lack of water supply is a clogged detergent dispenser. The powder absorbs moisture and forms a dense layer, so after each wash the trays must be wiped with a napkin. It is also necessary to check whether the injectors are clogged. The blade is removed by removing the screws. The holes are cleaned with a toothpick and washed with water.

The cost of repairing Indesit dishwashers at home depends on the type of work. Elimination of minor breakdowns costs 800-1900 rubles.
Repair of Indesit dishwashers at home
Indesit brand household appliances have an affordable price and average build quality. Malfunctions most often appear 12-24 months after purchase. PMMs are sensitive to voltage changes and water quality. Repair of an Indesit dishwasher can be carried out either independently or with the assistance of specialists.
Main causes of breakdowns
It is not difficult to identify a malfunction; you just need to analyze the signs of a breakdown. The machine may not turn on or display an error code. The most common malfunctions that occur are:
- Burnout of heating element. Leads to a decrease in the quality of dishwashing. The device stops heating water. In this case, you should check the condition of the wires and the heater itself. Less often, breakdowns occur in the electronic module responsible for heating the water.
- The appearance of extraneous sounds. This happens when the bearing wears out. The part fails due to leaching of the lubricant and thinning of the oil seal. In this case, disassemble the pump and replace the bearing. Noise may also occur due to glass fragments getting into the pump impeller.
- Lack of water supply. The reason lies in the clogging of the elements of the fill system. All parts need to be inspected and cleaned.
- Water leak. The reason is wear or displacement of the seal. The car tank leaks less often. The device will have to be disassembled and the damaged part replaced.
- No drain. Observed when the drain pump, hose or filter is clogged.
How to repair it yourself
If there are minor faults, you can repair the Indesit ICD 661 dishwasher yourself.
Replacing the heating element
Due to the use of hard water, the heating element becomes covered with scale over time. The plaque layer increases, the heating element overheats and fails. Failure of this part increases energy costs. You can repair this part of the dishwasher as follows:
- the device is disconnected from the power supply network, the water supply tap is turned off;
- the car is turned over on its side;
- remove the bottom cover;
- inspect the pump (in Indesit dishwashers and washing machines the heating element is connected to this part; before removing the heater, you need to check the condition of the pump);
- replace the pump (if a malfunction is detected when checking with an ohmmeter, the part is replaced);
- disconnect the heating element wiring, check the contacts;
- remove the heating element (if the part is covered with a thick layer of plaque, unclench the clamps and disconnect the heater, then turn off the pump and remove the heating element from the housing);
- replace the pump seal;
- the protruding parts of the heater are treated with lubricant;
- install the heating element (the removed clamps are replaced with new ones).
Cleaning and replacing the drain pump
If PMM Indesit DSG 0517 does not drain water, check the drainage system after the program is completed. To do this you need:
- open the door, remove all trays and shelves;
- remove the mesh filter located at the bottom of the device;
- rinse the parts with a stream of water (if parts of the filter are very dirty, clean them with a brush);
- open the pump, inspect and clean the impeller;
- check the serviceability of the pump (you can get to this part through the bottom of the dishwasher);
- disconnect the wires and check the terminals using an ohmmeter;
- remove and replace the pump.
Replacing the door seal
When the seal becomes thin or dislodged, the machine begins to leak. You can replace the part yourself. To do this you need to do the following:
- open the camera door;
- remove the seal around the perimeter of the opening;
- take a new gasket and install it, straightening it around the perimeter;
- cut off excess material with a knife;
- evaluate the quality of installation by starting the machine.
To replace the lower seal you need:
- open the hopper door;
- Unscrew the screws located on the inside of the door;
- lift the door, pull, remove the outer panel;
- open the door again, remove the basket from the chamber (the seal is visible at the bottom);
- remove the cushioning material by grasping its edge with tweezers;
- insert a new seal (there is a mark on the right side of the product to facilitate the installation process);
- assemble the door.
Problems with the control board
The control unit is an expensive and fragile part. Each part of the module is responsible for the functioning of certain elements of the machine. It is recommended to trust the repair of the board to specialists. Checking a part includes the following steps:
- removing the front door panel;
- removing the clamps holding the control panel;
- disconnecting the wire connected to the module;
- removing the bolts connecting the board to the panel;
- disconnecting the wiring (before starting this stage of work, it is recommended to photograph the connectors);
- inspection of the part for defects;
- installation of a new board in case of breakdown.
