Fix Indesit IDL40 Dishwasher Flashing lights 2 and 4

How i fixed my IDL 40 dishwasher in 15mins. Kept stopping during wash and then flashing the lights 2 and 4.
Unscrew the screws around the door edge and the front panel will come off. Make certain the power is off and that you are qualified to do this.
If it is the same fault as mine, the thermal paste acted a lubricant together with centrifugal force to make the termal sensor drop out its housing.
Simply slip it back in then use a small cable tie to tie it to the clip and prevent it happening again.
Screw up the dishwasher - job done. Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the emails and comments. It seems many, many people have suffered the same problem, for the two years since cable tying the sensor back on the problem has not reoccurred.

muchisimas gracias, lo he colocado, pero no le he puesto abrazadera, la proxima vez que me vuelva a pasar se la pondre, lo que he hecho es ajustar mas la abrazadera metalica que viene.
