Question about Indesit W 123 Front Load Washer

Indesit W1A111 starts cycle when selector set to "off"

In typical fashion my washing machine broke down one week after the warantee ran out. It is an Indesit W1A111. Having finished a load of washing and turning the programme selector dial to "off", I noticed after an hour or so that one of the cycle LEDs was flashing. I pressed the start/pause button and the machine filled up with water and started a cycle even though the selector was in the "off" position. I hit the pause button again and switched off at the socket and had to drain the machine manually. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks for the advice. Hadn't had a reply for a few days so unplugged the machine and left it overnight. Seems to have reset itself so you were probably right.

Many indesits have a memory on board, set the timer to off position, turn on the mains press start let the machine finish what it is doing, and it will reset normally, turn off at mains for a few minutes can also do the trick, it sounds like one of the option buttons was pressed and you didn't let the timer finish its course,

Indesit washing machine pumnp burnt out, replaced it but it still won't pump or spin. Does it need a new programmer or can the programmer be fixed?

You're absolutely right. If you look at the wiring diagram on the machine it is clear that the drain pump is powered by triac on PCB (part code C00270972).
I think it is definitely safer and probably cheaper to replace than to repair the PCB.
It is always a good practice to visually inspect PCBs that there are no visible defects such burnt out elements, etc. before replacing. Sometimes the reason for burnout PCB may be on a completely different side.

Have you checked for any damage on the lid switch at all? Washers won't engage the cycle you're having issues with if the lid switch is faulty. usually a magnet or plastic piece that pushes down the piece to engage agitation.

Picture of front paneal indersit W1A111 WASHING

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I think you just need a manual! Unfortunately this forum does not supply any type of manual, installation instructions or schematic diagram direct; it's just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home and from all over the world, with experience of addressing problems and giving guidance for free on the web ;-0)

You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make) 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. During the process you will be asked for the actual model number!
Good luck,
John C.
