Indesit DE73 Dishwasher

BUT I've had the A05 error a couple of times (in 11 years).

First time tipping it on right hand side worked, second time it didn't.

SO I tried tipping it on LEFT hand side and that has sorted it!

Hurrah.

I like the shelf layout, better tahn most I've seen.

I generally use setting 2 which takes 2.5 hours but as I'm not watching it or waiting then it's not a problem

Will only clean saucepans on number 2 setting but no other problems with it's performance. After 7 years have never needed to call Indesit once for any problems. Our first and only dishwasher so far so cannot compare to any others but no complaints so far. Easy to clean and use and no reliability issues.

This machine was supposed to be AAA. I have had 3 machines, 1 3 weeks after 1st purchase. Mine throws up error codes like a toddler tantrum. Most take engineer 20 mins to resolve. I find it is ridiculously too sensitive to where untensils and cups plates etc are. In mine I can only use certain tablets etc because some seem to get stuck and so it doesn't wash the stuff abd the cycle has to be done again. Mine has been left under counter for 9 months and I can't bring myself to pay for the council to take it away.

I always had to use hottest cycle to get things washed.

The Indesit De73 is an overpriced dishwasher with too much tech that makes it 'paranoid android'. I would not recommend it to anybody.

The Indesit DE73 was a very bad buy. I used to be a fan of Indesit, I have had 2 over 20 years, less that one years use (but out of guarantee) the dishwasher remains tepid on all washes and drys. Very bad buy. I won't get another one

A Which Best Buy when bought (2003) and for performance alone (it is our first dishwasher) seems fine. The A02 fault first occurred after about 18 months. Now it seems to happen every other wash and particularly when the machine is full. Due to the A02 fault we now only use the machine when we know we will be at home and awake for it's whole cycle. We set a kitchen timer for 70' mins or so - about the point at which it gets stuck - if it does we remove a few things and then reset it on the hot rinse programme (6). All very tiresome. We will try to keep the bottom rear right hand corner clear now as suggested.

Poor build quality on this Indesit DE73. Dread to think of electric cost for the 3 hour wash. poor finish to wash at end of cycle.

I can't believe so many people have had this problem. Error A02 appeared countless times - machine would churn all night and day if left unattended. BGas service came out at least 5 times until they gave up and said it was uneconomical to repair. The repair man said never never buy an Indesit product, especially not a dishwasher and recommended Bosch or Zanussi.

Had the A01 fault come up on my Scholtes dishwasher (made by Indesit). Thanks to this post and following the tips given (Tilting to 70 Degrees) have got it working and saved myself about 100 euros. Thank you.

We've had this dishwasher for 6 years and on average had it repaired with one thing or another 3 times a year sometimes more!

A05 error message just came up again (second time this year) and that is it it's going!!!!

Indesit's customer support isn't actually very supportive, they would rather get an engineer out to you and charge a large amount of money for tipping the machine on its side, rather than tell you how to do it.

My Indesit DE73 dishwasher broke down at least fortnightly because the drip tray was full, and it was only 12 months old.

I have since thrown it out and bought a Bosch.
