hi guys have to look at a indesit washing machine model w1101 the problum is when started the timer spins around and the indictor light flashes onoff onoff all the time the only thing i can tell you the machine was in storage and was only taken out and used lately does any one have the list of codes for this machine or any idea what the problum could be thanks fasetester 🙂
Re: indesit timer spins around
i’ve had this…board could need re setting…1) power on, 2) select a stop position on program selector..3) close door..4) on /off button ON. light should flash (as indicating end of program). on/off button OFF. wait till door can be opened. open door. select wash or rinse program, close door, on/off button ON. let the machine run through till end of program. if selector still rotates try the above again…the time lapes between door open and selecting program can be critical..the longer you leave it the bette, but need not be more than say 3mins.

The correct model number is WI 101, and the codes have been in the known error codes thread for over 3 years :rolls: , page 2, post by lotusray.

Re: indesit timer spins around
wel guys went to see the indesit machine today tryed to reset no joy when a program is selected would start to fill then stop then the timer would start to click around bring in the pump i counted the flashes which were ten pswitch not sensing correctly checked pressure switch seem ok checked connections at switch and module seem ok checked every connection checked brushes in motor pump ect would that mean the board would be to blame what do the indesit experts think or any engineer that would like comment thanks fasetester 🙁

Fase, read and digest this vital info to help solve your problem: –
Tony_EMW wrote:Are you one of those engineers who refuses to go near another Indesit W101, WI101, A1435 etc? In these days of low washing machine prices giving rise to fewer repairs you cannot afford to ignore this huge section of the market. Everybody knows about the dreaded ‘rotating timer’ whenever one of these machines goes into fault mode. But are they really beyond repair? NO! First thing to check is for blown tracks on the board. These are normally caused by shorting interlocks or pumps (normally around the terminals marked “CNF”. If the board has no burnt tracks then scrub the green side with a dry toothbrush, tighten each and every pin in the edge connectors by removing them, squeezing them with your fingers then refitting.
Now try the machine again. If it aborts straight away (before any wash action) then check the Thermistor (near the heater, about 25-40K pull both wires off first). The second thermistor (on washer-dryers) is on top of the drum (same value – often go open circuit or cable breaks inside the sleeving). Check heater for open/short circuit. If after all this it still aborts, replace the main board. If however the machine washes for a while before aborting, then change the CARBON BRUSHES (even though they may more than 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} left!) and the PRESSURE SWITCH (yes these burn inside causing random aborts after washing for a while) Do not replace with secondhand from a similar machine as it is also likely to be burnt. I know it is rare to change a Pressure Switch these days but these machines EAT THEM UP!!! Merely blowing up the switch and testing for continuity will reveal nothing. These switches only fail under load (when the heater is on). It is a good idea to carry the two types of Pressure Switch if you intend to repair these machines on a regular basis.”
Re: indesit timer spins around
I went to one of these two months ago pressure switch ok when tested with a meter, but breaks down under load of tle heater.
Changed pressure switch, all ok since.

Re: indesit timer spins around
thank tony and martin for the information you try and get the machine going you tell the customer its your pswitch you fit the pressure switch and the machine still wont go then you tell them its pcb or what ever the customer is getting a bit feb up you have committed your time and what ever parts you use then you find your self between a rock and a hard place the customer is not happy that the have to pay as you know some times you test a part and it seems ok say for an example the machine is a timed fill and you check the pswitch and it seems ok the machine is over filling then you think the pump might be running slow and not empying quick enought do you chang the pressure switch and hope it is faulty or do you change the pump first fasetester 😕
Re: indesit timer spins around
Wow! You sure said a whole lot there fase without one single fullstop, comma or question mark. It was like I was holding my breath just reading through it all, and by then I’m still not sure if you were asking a question or simply making a statement? 🙂 😉
Re: indesit timer spins around
hi martin have you come to a machine and the customer said it is over filling the machine is a timed fill say you test it on a rinse it fills up then tumbles for a few min the pump then comes in to discharge the water before it has finished it starts bringing in water after you checked the pump for blockages ect and you checked the pressure switch and bottle question ? which would you change first the pump or the pressure switch and why thanks fasetester 🙂

Did you not take on board what Tony said about Pressure switches then fase? 😕

So, I would arm yourself with a new Pressure Switch and Pump if I were you. Also take along a toothbrush…as Tony also mentions.. 😉 😉
Re: indesit timer spins around
thanks for asking martin the said the will go for new machine. so will have to wait for the next indesit and keep all the info at hand. fasetester 🙁

I do not want to argue with Tony or Martin either… they have rights: the best is to have all time with you: valves, pumps and pressure switches.
Instead of that I have in my tool box two smalls’ straight screwdrivers and glass paper. If I meat “F10” first thoughts (95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}) are for pressure switch which I open it, clean contacts (with “100 grade” glasspaper with the help of medicinal tweezers) and put it back. From this kind of job I earn more and long live. If you open it you will know if it must be changed or only clean.Re: indesit timer spins around
Baron,
Is it difficult (or even expensive!) getting parts in Romania? I have occasionally opened up a pressure switch to fix it, but would normally replace it. The two common Indesit pressure switches I keep in the van as they’re only about £5 (E10) each.I’m all in favour of repairing things, rather than just replacing them, so I would be interested in your comments.
Cheers,
Chris.
