to content ↑Overview of faults
One of the main disadvantages of the Indesit DSG 0517 dishwasher is the instantaneous response of electrical appliances to the voltage drop in the electrical network. As with any home appliances, the models of this brand may have moments of inoperability. Consider the basic malfunctions of the dishwasher Indesit dsg 0517.
No reaction of the dishwasher to the push-button pressing of
If the light indication is not present when the dishwasher is switched on, the unit does not respond to the push-button pressing:
- It is necessary to check the power supply in the outlet to which the equipment is connected.
- If electricity is present, then it is necessary to check the contacts in the junction box located at the bottom of the equipment. The distribution box is located in such a way that it is constantly exposed to the influence of a moist microclimate, which contributes to the oxidizing process of contacts. Therefore, in order to eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to unscrew and process the contacts with sandpaper, then tighten and try to re-insert the dishwasher.
- If, however, there is still no response to the pushbutton on, the cause of the breakdown can be enclosed in the machine control module.
Important! The control unit is a very complex electronic mechanism containing embedded software. That is why the repair of the control module should be performed only by a qualified specialist.
The process of water supply
has stopped. Very often there is a situation when water is present in the water supply system, but it does not enter the dishwasher. The cause of this malfunction of Indesit dsg 0517 can be enclosed in a faulty water inlet valve or in a clogged filtration screen located at the bottom of the unit near the water hose connection area:
- If the filter mesh is full, use a strong head of water to clean it.
- Valve performance can be determined by applying the tester. To do this, it is necessary to disconnect the wires from the coil output points and conduct a resistance measurement:
- if the indicator on the tester has zero resistance, then there is a break in the winding;
- if the indicator on the tester issued a "short circuit", then this indicates a short circuit between the turns.
Important! A good coil should fix on the device some amount of resistance. In case of damage detection, the damaged coil must be replaced with another, with similar throughput.
The dishwasher refuses to drain the water
If the domestic unit does not drain the water and the electric motor continues to operate, the reason may be to block the pump with food residues that have penetrated the filter cylinder. In this case, it is not feasible to drain the water, which leads to the stalling of the program.

- Remove the dishwasher from the appliance.
- At the bottom of the mesh there is a filter cylinder, which must be unscrewed and pulled out.
- Use a non-metallic brush to clean the filter and then thoroughly wash it under running water.
- Using a sponge, remove the moisture residues on the surface of the pump, then open the pump unit by pressing on the lid, with a characteristic click.
- Inspect the impeller for the presence of foreign objects.
- Make sure that the impeller of the pump device is unobstructed. During this process, it is absolutely necessary to use gloves, since broken glass can be in the pump.
- Close the pump cover by positioning it in the desired position.
- Install the filter cylinder in its original position.
Important! Also, a dishwasher malfunction may result in burnout of the motor winding. In this case, first the electric motor is disconnected from all the wires, and then, using a multimeter, it is possible to check the windings of the electric motor for an open or short circuit. If a fault is detected, you can rewind the coil or replace the motor.
was created in the domestic unit. The presence of poor-quality rubber on door seals can lead to leakage. This problem is determined visually, in which case it is necessary to replace the new seal.
The leakage area can be determined visually:
- flow of the drain system;
- in the hose device for draining the water there are damages;
- presence of defects on seals around the pump device.
Important! To eliminate leaks from the equipment, it is necessary to detach the front panel for the approach to inspecting the bottom surface.

- timer does not work;
- temperature sensor faulty;
- has deteriorated TEN.
Important! If the timer and the temperature sensor are faulty, it is necessary to call a qualified technician, since testing requires certain knowledge and skills.
The use of the tester will help to determine if the heater burns out, and if a breakage is detected, a replacement is made for a new one.
In household appliances, the drying of utensils
stopped. For such a malfunction, it is necessary to check the ventilation device or the connection circuit. With the help of a multimeter check the winding of the motor for an open or resistance, and if the fan is not damaged, then it is necessary to check the entire connection circuit of the equipment.
The dishwasher improperly flushes the dishes
Remains of used food sometimes contaminate the water supply blades, so they must be checked and cleaned. Disconnect the blades easily, for this:
