ParticipantHi im wondering if anyone can advise me at all, my crappy indest is showing a fault code led1 led3 and quick flash on door lock. when i switch the machine on in any program water goes in, the drum starts to wash, then water drains out with the drum turning and pump running constantly, the machine then freezes in this position, pumping and rotating with the only way to switch it off being at the plug socket. I have tried calling indesit who gave me 2 options, a one off repair at £100 or £15.90 for ten months for a years worth of repairs, obv the skip is the best option from reading any indesit related posts but hopefully i can save this defunct machine.

ParticipantRe: indesit wil133
if i remember it sounds like a board or pressure switch fault best try repairs@ for your local engineer i wouldnt encourage indesit £100 for a one of repair does that include parts fine if its the pcb not so fine if its the pressure switch.
10 months at £15.90 is £159 not worth it you would be better binning it,
but try repairs@ first.September 28, 2008 at 3:08 pm #263646helo_75
Participantdick turpin wore a mask when he robbed you
the indesit continue to rip the general public off at great length, and people are stupid enough to pay it!
whats happening, is, technically,your buying a substandard machine twice, theyre so bad, they all need something doing within 19 months
best thing to do… and every indesit/hotpoint customer should do it, is vote with their feet, that being cut your losses, buy a better quality machine, and if everybody did it, theyd soon start panicing

So iv now sucessfully fixed the fault.
led1 and led3 detects that it is a pressostat problem…
“Inspect the wires on the pressostat. I would imagine they are burnt and brittle and not connecting correctly…….I think there are 4 wires in the block. I would re crimp all 4 and connect back into correct place only if they are burnt tho. You should know by just pulling the wire i expect it will come off in your hands….
Power Off b4 doin this
Sparkyp”
Wiring was ok but knowing this i ordered a pressure switch from this website on sun, dispatched mon and arrived promptly on tues morning, replaced the switch and all went well, now completes all cycles.Total cost £11.50 inc postage.
Hope this can help somebody else. Thanks to everybody Specially Sparky P.
