    Hi all

    Just been to one of these machines, customer said it fills then just stops dead and a relay clicking could be heard about 8 times, then drains all water out..

    This seemed to be exactly as she described

    Belt was intact, as were brushes..pressure system all clear..
    So, re seated all connections to both boards, and switched on

    Now the machine takes in water, and then drum rotates in one direction as if its about to go in to a full spin….
    Then after about 3 minutes just stops again..!


    Have left with customer to try a full cycle later tonight as she was on her lunch break..

    Any ideas? Im suspecting bottom board at the moment

    Service info would be appreciated, if anyone has them

    Thanks
    Martin

    There is a diagnostics cycle for these, same as for the WMA62/3.
    Don’t have it to hand here in Adeje, perhaps someone back in the UK can give it to you.

    Jim.

    PS. If you don’t get any joy then ask me on Monday.

    Let’s hear it for Jim guys, such dedication that he takes time off from sunning himself and supping sangria in the Canaries to continue helping out on UKW. 😀

    Salud señor…! 😉

    The complex I was staying at had free, high speed BB, wish I was back there. 😥

    PM me an e-mail address and I will send you the diagnostics routine. 8)

    I think that’s normal behaviour on some Indesits, isn’t it?

    WMA76 has nothing to do with Indesit’s. 😉
