What Does Error F02 Mean?

The Indesit Dishwasher error F02 indicates a malfunction in the circulation pump or water fill system. This error may manifest as the dishwasher filling with water but failing to circulate it, accompanied by unusual noises. If the F02 error appears on the display, the machine will not progress past the early stages of the wash cycle due to issues with the circulation pump motor, impeller, or water fill solenoid valve.

Common Symptoms:

  • Dishwasher shows F02 on display or via LED pattern
  • Dishwasher fails to progress past early cycle stage

Possible Causes

  • Circulation pump motor fault (impeller/jam/failed motor) (medium)
  • Water fill solenoid valve failure or water fill timeout/obstruction (medium)
