Symptom / Description

FAULT

Ignis ADL & TuttoinUno Platinum Compact Dishwasher: Motorized Diverter Valve (MDV) microswitch failure FB; cam switch does not pulse during diverter disc positioning.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On Ignis dishwashers: Broken nylon gear teeth in MDV actuator, burnt drive motor winding, or oxidized internal microswitch wiper contacts.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED

1Measure MDV synchronous drive motor resistance (6.0–7.5 kΩ). Check microswitch continuity with manual gear rotation (must switch between 0 Ω and infinite). Replace MDV. Press and hold Start button for 5 seconds to force drain cycle, wait 60s, then switch off power switch.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols

!Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
!Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
!Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.

3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks

Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ignis FB

FAQ TREE

What does error code FB mean on a Ignis appliance?

Ignis error code FB indicates: Ignis ADL & TuttoinUno Platinum Compact Dishwasher: Motorized Diverter Valve (MDV) microswitch failure FB; cam switch does not pulse during diverter disc positioning..

What is the root cause of Ignis error code FB?

The primary root cause for Ignis code FB is: On Ignis dishwashers: Broken nylon gear teeth in MDV actuator, burnt drive motor winding, or oxidized internal microswitch wiper contacts..

How do I fix or resolve Ignis error code FB?

To resolve error code FB: Measure MDV synchronous drive motor resistance (6.0–7.5 kΩ). Check microswitch continuity with manual gear rotation (must switch between 0 Ω and infinite). Replace MDV. Press and hold Start button for 5 seconds to force drain cycle, wait 60s, then switch off power switch.

Is it safe to clear Ignis error code FB by resetting power?

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Ignis code FB persists, the physical component causing On Ignis dishwashers: Broken nylon gear teeth in MDV actuator, burnt drive motor winding, or oxidized internal microswitch wiper contacts. must be inspected or replaced.

How do I test electrical resistance for Ignis code FB using a multimeter?

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Drain Pump Motor Stator Coils across Across pump motor spade terminals (L-N unclipped). Expected nominal reading is 160Ω–220Ω (Sync 230V) / 20Ω–45Ω (3-Phase BLDC). Tolerance: ±10% balance. Insulation resistance between coil and motor chassis must exceed 20MΩ..

What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Ignis code FB?

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
