Hi guys newbie here. Need some help as I am broke and my washer has broken down. I will try and fix this before trying to buy another. Our machine worked fine until this morning missus tried to wash some clothes. The lock button and the timer,stain button flash constantly! Can anyone suggest any solution please?
Re: Indesit iwme126
if I am right you have 4 lights in a row over the option buttons I need to know what flashing or not
so
1 out 2 out 3 out 4 flashing is fault 1 which is main board traic problem
I know that maybe double dutch to you so let me have the correct info and I will look it up
DaveRe: Indesit iwme126
well that not listed
all the fault codes I can see involving light 2 are
2 & 4
2 & 3
2 & 3 & 4
1 & 2none involving lamp 2 on its own

Re: Indesit iwme126
that’s fault 12
communication error between the 2 control boards
there is a control panel ( with the knobs on it) and a main board down at the back right. there I a cable (think its 4 wires) going from one board to the other. Find this cable ( at the top first for ease) unplug it and replace plug 2 or 3 times. If its a dirty contact then it will work again. if it does not work check the cable routing for any signs of cable damage
if all fails it could be a faulty board

Re: Indesit iwme126
I can the cables. Will have to take back cover off to take the bottom one off. Shall I do the same for the door lock too?
Thanks in advanceRe: Indesit iwme126
no door lock is at mains voltages but comm cables are at 5 or 12 volts so dirty contact can stop them

🙁 did all that but still same issue. What’s the next best option? Can these boards be reconditioned or is it not worth it? Also how would I know which board is at fault?
Thanks again for your prompt responseRe: Indesit iwme126

if you go down this route send them both board then they can check both boards as a pair. Otherwise you could send one and the problem is the other one

Thanks Dave. How the fart do I take the control module off? Tried taking the front turn knobs off but it feels like there is something else holding it. I also removed the 2 screws. Also what sort of cost approx for both pcb?
Thanks a millionRe: Indesit iwme126

Thanks a million” How the fart do I take the control module off” hmm not sure on this lol
take the whole front panel off. soap draw out , take screws out round soap draw, take lid off and remove screws at the top and carefully unclip panel
lower panel is more difficult due to space
don’t forget to take lots of pictures so you know where all the wires go and howe they clip back
as for cost you can look at their websites when you have the boards out. when I say send both boards it is unlikely both will be faulty so you should only get charged for one
