Ariston, Hotpoint and Indesit Dishwasher Error Codes: Here's How to Identify Them

Not everything can always go smoothly.

It's the reality. A little hard to accept and understand, perhaps, but it works like this for everything, even for household appliances. We can take care of them regularly and carefully, but there will come a time when wear and tear will get the better of us and cause the appliances to fail. The good thing about life (and the electronic world) is that in most cases, you can fix what's broken, one way or another. It's all about recognizing the error or the problem.

To understand why an appliance is not working, you can request assistance outside of the warranty or try to identify the problem yourself. In some cases, the appliance itself tells you what is wrong. For example, the dishwasher, when it is equipped with a display, tells you on it which fault is in progress. It does this through a series of acronyms that are difficult to decipher unless you know them.

What do you do, instead, when the dishwasher does not have a display? There are some Ariston, Hotpoint and Indesit models that do not have a screen and yet are programmed to indicate to their owners the type of problem that is occurring. They do this through the LEDs positioned on the dashboard that flash at different speeds and combinations depending on the type of error that has occurred.

Well yes: the light signals must be interpreted to understand why your dishwasher no longer works. You will need a guide and that is what this article aims to do. By continuing to read, you will discover all the error codes of Ariston, Hotpoint and Indesit dishwashers to identify the fault more quickly.

Indesit, Hotpoint and Ariston Dishwashers and their Flashing Lights

Dishwashers can have different designs depending on the brand that produces them and the models themselves.

However, there are some buttons that are found on all panels because they are the fundamental controls that cannot be missing in these types of appliances. In a dashboard without a display, you will find four LEDs , four light points. The first three are located next to the words “ Wash ”, “ Drying ” and “ End ” and normally light up during the dishwasher’s activity phases. The fourth LED , however, is next to the “ Start/Pause ” button.

These LEDs can also flash alone or in combination with each other. When this happens, it is likely that the dishwasher is having a fault. Each combination and each flashing light corresponds to a very specific error code.

Error code 1 – LED 1 flashing

When the dishwasher is leaking water, the flashing LED light 1 will come on. In Ariston, Hotpoint and Indesit dishwashers, this indicates that the anti-flooding system has been activated and that the appliance needs to be checked to understand what is causing the leak.

Error code 2 – LED 2 flashing

When the Ariston, Hotpoint or Indesit dishwasher detects the breakage of the loading solenoid valve, the LED light 2 starts to flash. If the damage to this component is serious, it will have to be replaced.

Error code 3 – LED 1 and LED 2 flashing lights

When the LED 1 and LED 2 lights flash at the same time, it means that the maximum time to complete the water drain has elapsed. If there is water left in your dishwasher, the drain pump may be blocked by a foreign body or defective, the drain pipe or the siphon clogged or the drain pump triac defective. Who will discover the mystery? If you can't do it yourself, you can always call for assistance.

Error code 4 – Led 3

Error 4 in the Ariston/Hotpoint/indesit dishwasher, signaled by the flashing of LED 3, concerns a defect in the NTC circuit, or the thermistor. If the appliance has short-circuited or lacks continuity, then this warning light will come on.

Error code 5 – LED 1 and 3

When the flashing lights in the Ariston, Hotpoint or Indesit dishwasher are led 1 and led 3, it means that there is a defect in the pressure switch. If this component does not signal that the appliance is being filled with water, unpleasant inconveniences may occur. It is necessary to understand what the problem is, so that it can be solved.

Error code 6 – LED 2 and 3

Where the flashing lights are those of LEDs 2 and 3, the problem with your Hotpoint, Ariston or Indesit dishwasher is that the maximum time allowed for water loading has been exceeded. This can happen when the tap is closed, the loading hose is crushed, the water pressure is low or when the water solenoid valve is faulty or disconnected. To understand where the fault actually is, ask for the help of a professional.

Error code 7 – LED 1, 2 and 3

If the pressure switch has reached full but the water turbine has not signaled the entry of water, it is possible that there is a fault with the turbine. It could also be a blockage in the filter of the inlet hose or a faulty pressure switch. The dishwasher can signal this problem by flashing LEDs 1, 2 and 3.

Error code 8 – Led 4

LED 4 flashes to indicate error code number 8 which concerns the failure to reach the water temperature within the expected time. This may occur due to a problem with the resistance that must be absolutely resolved.

Error code 9 and 13 – Led 1 and 4/ Led 1,3 and 4

When you see the LED lights 1 and 4 flashing, know that it might not be your lucky day. In fact, the dishwasher is programmed to report problems to the electronic board. In these cases, you should ask for help from an expert to understand how best to proceed.

Ariston, Hotpoint or Indesit dishwashers may signal this same defect by flashing three lights: LED 1, LED 3 and LED 4. In this case, we are talking about error code 13.

Error code 10 – LED 2 and 4

Ariston, Hotpoint and Indesit dishwashers signal faults in the heating circuit through two indicator lights, 2 and 4.

Error code 11 – LED 1, 2 and 4

What might otherwise be a light show, on the dishwasher dashboard signals a major problem. For example, when LEDs 1, 2, and 4 flash simultaneously, it means that the wash pump is faulty.

Error code 12 – LED 3 and 4

When there is no communication between the main board and the display, LED 3 and LED 4 will light up at the same time. Here the problem could be with the main board wiring or the faulty user.
