Fairly new and lightly used machine. No obvious physical faults.
Select ‘Spin’, door locks, main neon steady, pump runs for a split second, then main neon goes out. Pump starts run, timer clicks round and neon flashes 5 times.
Select ‘Tumble Dry’ on main control and set dryer timer on. door locks, neon comes on, pump, main motor and dryer fan all run perfectly for around 15 seconds then neon goes out, nothing is running, timer revolves and neon flashes 5 times.
Select ‘Tumble Dry’ on main control knob but leave dryer timer off
Neon lights, nothing runs, light goes out then control knob clicks round and neon flashes 10 times. ❓
A new pressure switch has no effect on this problem.
Module faulty ??????

Check the dryer thermistor – weird things happen with that. Otherwise p/sw wiring or module.

Re: Indesit WD12 UK F5 & F10 ???
Will check that out. Wiring appears fine, however I cannot do a water test as this machine has been uplifted from this blokes static caravan ( hence the very light use )and brought to his industrial unit nearer home. I did try it on rinse, by ‘gently’ blowing into the pressure switch and the motor tumbled for around 15 secs before going into error.
Re: Indesit WD12 UK F5 & F10 ???
Quick update, was a module fault. Close inspection revealed a small amount of arcing at the bottom of the board on the opposite side to the white plug with 4 full size spade terminals, this had burnt through one small PCB track. Quick clean up, out with the soldering iron and a small link wire, fault cured. I suspect the fact that this machine had been stood unused for long periods in a caravan may have contibuted to this, but just in case I made use of a strong plastic bag to make a water shield.
One question, when people talk about the EEPROM, how are these supposed to be changed in the field ? Surely you don’t have to solder every single connection to this.
My eye/hand coordination would make this rather difficult at my age. 😉
I have to remove the varifocals for very close up work as it is. 🙂Re: Indesit WD12 UK F5 & F10 ???
On the original boards the 8 pin eprom was a push fit into a suface mounted socket at the righthand side of the module looking at the component side of the board. It could be easily moved over to a new board. The next step was to solder the eprom directly to the board. If you ordered a replacement board it would come with a surface mounted socket so you could unsolder the eprom, clean and straighten the legs and fit to the socket. Latest twist is the eprom is tiny, mounted towards the top of the board and is almost impossible to unsolder. The replacement board will still come with a socket so you are better off ordering a new eprom at the same time. 😕
