Dishwasher displays AL06, often linked to water level or turbidity sensor issues in models with advanced sensors.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dirty or scaled turbidity sensor window, Faulty combined level/turbidity sensor, Wiring fault to sensor, Control board input error

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the sump or side matrix.

Locate the sensor:

On some Indesit models, a turbidity or optical sensor is mounted on the side of the sump or water matrix.
Remove the lower panel or side panel to access it.

Clean and inspect:

Remove the sensor and clean the optical window with a soft cloth and warm water to remove grease and limescale.
Check the O‑ring and reseat properly to avoid leaks.
Inspect the connector and wiring for damage.

If cleaning does not clear AL06, the sensor assembly may need replacement.
