Indesit wib101 Hi there, please could anyone give me some info to start fault finding on my mother inlaws machine. Problem- No lights are coming on but she did say it flashes after about 10 mins although it didn't while I was there saturday. Checked all the simple stuff, plug fuse, plug socked it's plugged into ect. Seems no power is at all is going to the machine. Any pointers as to where I should start? Thanks Steve

THE COPPER CORE OF THE MAINS FLEX/CABLE IS LIKELY SNAPPED INSIDE THE INSULATION (USUALLY NEXT TO THE PLUG (IF YOU'RE LUCKY) OR NEXT TO THE MACHINE AS THESE ARE THE 2 BITS THAT MOVE/FLEX MOST). TEST THE CABLE (ALL 3 EARTH LIVE & NEUTRAL) WITH A CIRCUIT TESTER. IF BROKEN BEST TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CABLE BUT IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE BREAK YOU CAN CUT OFF A SECTION AND REFIT THE PLUG.

    Thanks Gordon, they have now replaced the cable and machine has now got power, although the door light is flashing and the other 2 or also flashing but not as brightly as the door light. Can't start a cycle either. Just sits there!

    It's possible that the arcing cable has caused power surge damage to some of the circuitry. Also could be in the middle of a cycle and a bit lost. i don't know where to go from here. Perhaps switch it off for a while set everything to zero/ off and try again?

SOURCE: Indesit front loading washing machine error code

i am a recently retired engineer of 20 years, but this sounds like (based on the info given) a heater element fault, after the machine fills up and agitates a few times the heater should start, check the heater for open circuit, replace if needed, of course it just could be a wire off? if i have helped rate me please

SOURCE: flashing lights indesit wil103

you will need to unplug the machine at the mains, give it two minutes and the auto door lock will release your duvet, however start saving the pennies as your pcb is knackered and you'll be looking at about £200 to fix it

SOURCE: indesit w93 washing machine fills with water but doesn't start washing

Hi there. I have an old model, the indesit WM12. Never counted the flashing light (yours was 10) but my dial started clicking constantly at the drain part. I called Idesit and they told me it was a blockage in the filter.
The filter they speak of it located, on mine, at the front of the machine at the very bottom on the right. It is a black dial about 3 - 4 inches in diameter. Unscrew that anti-clockwise (a real pain because so much water comes out. My wife and I unscrewed it, filled a baking tray with water, screwed it back up, emptied / substituted tray then same all over again - until empty. Though putting it on drain again and again helped at same time). When I pulled out the filter found a 'colour catcher' sheet in it. We used them first time ever the other day. Removed that, gave filter a wee clean and, hey presto, all is working again. Hope that helps. Jim

SOURCE: lights flashing on indesit WIL123S

Hi, sounds like you need to change the door interlock located where the door catch pushes into.
Take the top off and undo the two screws with a tork screwdriver
and replace.
(Remember to turn off the supply and pull out the plug top)

SOURCE: Indesit WIDL 106 wont start -ON/OFF-Door Led Flashes rapidly

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.

My indesit WIB101 is jumping, noisily on a spin, the drum belt loos fine but the seal inside the fron door looks all stretched and loose, do I need a new rubbe seal? Please answer quickly I cant afford a...

Possibly the drum spring/s are unhooked in the top of the washer. or the suspensions are loose or worn at the bottom.
This would cause the seal to twist out of shape.
Make sure the washer is level as well, as this can cause it to jump about.
you should not need to replace the seal unless it is split or has a hole/s in it.
Hope this helps you.

Selector knob on my Indesit Washing Machine WI 121 keeps turning & light flashes twice before light turns off. This happens approx 4 times in a whole turn of the knob. Indesit want £100 to come out to fix!...

Hi.
Sounds like you have faulty control module, which is quite expensive to replace.
Also the E.P.R.O.M would have to be replaced as well.
Probably cheaper to buy new washer.

Good luck.

Washing machine wont do anything

rotating timer knob indicates that there is a fault, obviously, so its a case of going through a checklist, based on info given, check in this order, outlet pump, for open circuit, then heater element for open circuit, then maybe the water valves, you have given little information for me to go on as an engineer, please understand, the more you say the more detail we can give ..... ok cheers with looking for the fault, best of luck and work safe
