My Indesit D63 dishwasher is not taking in water?

I set the programme and press the buttons, the red light comes on but no water is going into the machine. I have an Indesit D63 dishwasher which is about 3 years old.

Scratched my head over this one for ages, such a simple fix and saved me a fortune on an engineer.

My D63 stopped filling, Did the 45 degree tilt and it seems to be fine.

The 45 degree tip up worked for me!
Excellent advice - saved me a packet - Thanks :))))))

Spot on, Stewart - Your advice has worked a treat n.b - have a mop and bucket ready.

This also works for the d73 model when it shows an error code of A 01.

Hello.

I had the same issue and managed to fix it:

Unplug the Dishwasher
Pull it out of it's position.
Tilt it towards the back at 45'. This will release a lot of water that has caused the flood float switch to trip. After a couple of minutes, plug it back in and try again...

We also have a D63 Indesit dishwasher, and it is 3 years old. Guess what - it just stopped taking in water!

Anyone know what to change?
