Stop banging your machine this doesn't work

Ok the machine needs to be drained. Then switch the machine on again. The door should open.

F12 - Communication error between main printed circuit boards. check connections.

On certain Indesit washing machines, if the on off light is flashing 3 times, with a slight pause, followed by flashing a further 3 times, or if it is didplaying F03 you have an error code that is explained as follows -

NTC fault - check Thermistor and module connections.
The NTC is the thermistor, which is a modern-day thermostat. It’s inserted into a tube in the heating element and is filled with heat sensitive crystals that change their electrical resistance according to their temperature. By knowing what electrical resistance the crystals have at given temperatures they can tell the water temperature.
With this fault the NTC is either faulty, or there’s a dodgy connection to or from it or there’s a connection problem where it connects to the main PCB.
It’s not something you can easily fault find yourself unfortunately, apart from if there was an obvious broken wire.

Remove the rear panel of the washer.
You will see the heater element at the rear of the drum,it has 2 wires going to it.
The thermistor as it is called is located at the end of the element,, unplug the connector on the thermistor. and pull the old one out, refit new thermistor, and connector.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

Error code f03 relates to the thermistor on the heating element.
This can be a faulty thermistor or bad contact between it and the control board.
Worst case scenario is a fault with the board which would mean a replacement.
Hope this helps & thanks for using Fixya

Hi.
The code F03 means the wash thermistor is open circuit.

Unfortunately, you will have to call an engineer.

Cheers.
