Was at an indesit that does the wash,drains and then stops and flashes six times.
Fault code says it`s a “programme selector management error”
Can anyone put this into plain english?
Re: indesit 6 flashes
Seen these where the timer selector is damaged or not talking to the computer board correctly.

Re: indesit 6 flashes
Usually this is down to a bad connection.
Try taking the plugs on and off the connectors a few times on the module termination and the motorized selector. Also you can try respringing the little connectors in the plugs using a fine sewing needle so that they make a tighter fit, and carefully clean up the pads on the PCB and switch.
These selector switches unlike the hoover (which has an analogue output) send a binary code to the controller on the first six pads of the connector, each code corresponding to a unique position on the selector. This gives 64 possible positions of which 33 are used. The other two are motor connections through which the timer can be advanced by the processor.
Its probably worth checking all the smaller IDC connectors as the ones which go to the spin & temperature controls may possibly also cause an error.

Re: indesit 6 flashes
Forgot to mention:- to read the code off the switch the processor must set one of the bits high and read the output from the remaining five. I have checked the outputs corresponding to each switch position and have found that in all cases except three bit six is common, therefore this is probably the bit that is usually set high.
So in order to check these selector switches for possible faults just check the continuity between pad six (nearest to the motor connections) and any of the other five, you should get continuity to various combinations of the other pads.
Also check motor continuity as if the controller attempts to move the switch the binary output should change. If it does’nt then the controller will possibly detect an error condition.
