The FI-80 uses a sequence of flashing indicator lights to communicate errors. Since there is no digital screen, the Fagor FI-80 dishwasher manual decodes these flashes as follows:
| Flashing Pattern | Error | DIY Fix | |----------------|-------|---------| | "End" light flashes rapidly | Water inlet failure (no water or low pressure) | Check that the water supply valve is fully open. Ensure the inlet hose isn't kinked. Clean the mesh filter inside the water inlet pipe. | | "Salt" and "Rinse Aid" LEDs flash together | Drainage issue (blocked pump or filter) | Clean the bottom filter and the drain hose. Check the kitchen sink’s air gap. Remove any food debris from the drain pump impeller. | | "Intensive" light flashes | Heating element error | The water is not reaching temperature. This often requires a technician to replace the heating element or thermistor. | | All program lights flash | Electronic control board fault or door latch failure | Try unplugging the machine for 10 minutes to reset the board. If it persists, check the door microswitch. |
A: No. The manual explicitly warns against table salt (NaCl with iodine or anti-caking agents). These additives destroy the water softener resin. Use only coarse dishwasher salt. fagor fi-80 dishwasher manual
