Hi, I was going to wash a machine this morning - I have an indesit WIDL 106 Washer-dryer. But as I press the start button all the lamps on the control panel start to blink rapidly and they blink continuosly so impossible to do anything. What can be the cause of this and do you think it can be fixed? I live in Budapest - Hungary (kossuth lajos utca 10 - 1053 budapest) - could you indicate nearest Indesite repair-place/contact? Thank you in advance. Trine Flem Wallengren (phone: +36 702826404)

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or back feedback from the inputs. The processor of the program controller has hung up and so the display is indicating with the blinking. This can be a failure of the program controller unit which must be estimatted. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET valve to open up and allow water to flow into. If this does not happen then the voltage at the inlet valve must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.

Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the dry spin with the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water from the clothes during the spin.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.

Indesit widl 146

Firstly look to check nothing is stuck in the pipes as in coins or wire from bras etc..these will always cause problems for the machines... if this isnt the problem it may be a fuse. Or worst case senario one of the boards needs replacing.

Program stops led blink

It is a defectiv controller pcb. I think the eeprom on the controller pcb lost its program (happens often on Indesit machines).

The only solution I know is to change the controller pcb, - not a cheap solution.
I have the same problem with WIDL 106.

I'm looking for a user's manual for the Indesit washer/dryer combo WIDL 106 model. Can you help? Thanks.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Unfortunately FixYa cannot provide manuals direct - members of the forum are just people from all over the world, probably working from home, and not representing any particular manufacturer ;-0)
Manual
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct ;-0)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Indesit Widl 102 Flashing lights, wont turn on

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. It seems to be the issue with the Thermal Fuse going bad and/or its panel that is going bad. To start with check the Thermal fuse which is mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment with a more detailed question including the manufacturers name and model no# for your dryer so that I can further assist you.


Thanks

HI WHEN I TURN ON MY MACHINE ALL THE LEDS KEEP FLASHING. IT IS A INDESIT WIDL 102 WASHER DRYER.

Hello, this usually is signaling that there is a problem in your machine. You will need to get a service technician in to diagnose the problem for you. I hope this is somewhat helpful.

Indesit widl 102 extra rinse button always on!

Check that the button isn't stuck it if not remove top lid and check the PCB and see if the switch hasn't collapsed causing it to be on all the time. Also if you hold in the go button for about 5 seconds this resets the program try this.

Thanks J
