My first Indesit DE73 Dishwasher failed within a few weeks of purchase. After several visits by an engineer, it was replaced by the supplier. The replacement was no better it churned out lots of error messages. A-01 was the most common at first, because water leaked into the drip tray underneath, a float switch stops the machine. Initially I called out the engineer, but learned from him to tip out the water. Inconvenient and messy. Later error messages preventing operation were A-08 which I understand means the filter is blocked. The least bit of debri brought up this message. Finally A-02 which I think means an electrical fault. My machine expired with what I think was a pump failure. There were problems with the trim - wheels fell off the bottom tray regularly, the catches came away from the top tray resulting in the tray coming out completely and often when fully loaded. The blue plastic handles came off. Altogether a shoddy and unsatisfactory machine. I will be taking mine to the rubbish tip tomorrow, although it is only 3 years old. I have decided that paying for repairs is not economic.

I would not buy Indesit again.
