Indesit dishwasher

Hi Peeps


Just replaced my indesit dishwasher, with virtually the same one, now I always used the ECO wash on my other one, it used 0.94 kw per wash, on the new machine the same was uses 10.26 KW on the eco and 10.95 on the ordinary wash, this makes absolutely no sense to me, does anyone know why this would be?


thanks

Something wrong with the measurements I guess. 10kWh is enough to heat all the water in a domestic hot water tank to 70C. The washing machine fill is a mere fraction of that amount of water.

What are you using to make the measurement? Are you reading the correct units?

Could it be a misprint in your booklet?

Indesit IDS105 Dishwasher also has an A rating for energy efficiency and uses only 10 litres of water and 1.02 kWh per cycle.

Hi Peeps


My bad, got my figures wrong,
Old one is DIFP18B1 0.04 on eco
New one is DIF04B1 1.04 on eco


I am hoping like you said this is a misprint as all the other figures are the same for every other wash?


Thanks
Sam


We have called Indesit and they put the phone down on us

Hi

Looks like the old model had a misprint .... http://docs.whirlpool.eu/_doc/19511522701_GB.pdf


The spec on page 2 states "Energy consumption of the standard cleaning cycle in kWh" to be 1.04kWh ...

Yet, the cycle table on page 12 shows 'Eco' to be 0.04kWh ...

However, later on the same page it states that "The ECO wash cycle is the standard cycle to which the energy label data refers."

So the standard cycle is Eco and consumption for that cycle should be 1.04kWh, which makes total sense because 40Wh wouldn't do much more than run the pump for the cycle (if that!) let alone heat some water!
