    hello,

    i would be grateful if anyone could help.

    our indesit widl146 washer/dryer is no longer filling with water which from various searches indicates that there could be a problem with the brushes, but i would be grateful for any other feedback in case there is anything else that i may need to order.

    the symptoms are:
    all lights flash on unit when powered up – (as normal)
    on/off button pressed and door lock light comes on – (as normal)
    2h (delay timer/button with bubble logo on it – sorry don’t know what its called) lights up – (as normal)
    lock light has now gone off and doesn’t come on – (not normal)
    machine makes a switching noise (as normal)
    water should then start to fill the machine, but this never happens ?

    if the start button is then pressed again the lock light flashes as though it has finished

    thanks in advance
    steve
    ps, if i put the unit on to just dry then that doesn’t work either and the machine needs to be switched off at the mains before the door can be open etc

    It would do no harm to check the motor brushes first, be sure to remove the mains plug before you go inside.

    don’t ‘order’ anything until you are certain you need it. 😉

    thanks iadom.

    is there anything else that springs to mind which might cause that type of problem ?

    Its an Indesit, anything is possible, they are sadly very much budget machines, and poor ones at that. 😥

    Hi Steve,

    Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue?
    I have exactly the same problem with our WIDL146.

    Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Jason
