Hello. First post. Hoping for some help / suggestions.
Our ISE 1606W washing machine is great. So sad that the brand has gone as our machines are super reliable. However, the washer has been giving F3 faults. I drained it and unscrewed the pup access and removed a couple of hair clips. Nothing else there. The unit still F3’d on the next two empty quick washes. I can’t find anything there to cause the fault.
Any ideas on what to do next? Any ISE experienced engineers in the edinburgh area?
How is the drain outlet pipe connected, does it go into a standpipe or is it connected directly to undersink plumbing. I have seen small buttons or even coins get pumped right through on these machines and then block the hose were it is connected to the plumbing.. Have also had a small coin such as a five pence piece get stuck in the outlet hose just were it is connected to the drain pump. Not difficult to access on these. Carefully lean the machine back against a wall, get someone to hold it if possible. You can then easily remove the long bottom panel (two torx screws underneath) to access the pump and hoses.
Thank you for replying. The drain hose connects to the plumbing under a sink next to the machine. I’m not technical and my wife distrusts my efforts at handiwork. I’ll seek an engineer
Checking the end of the pipe under the sink is simple, my 4 year old granddaughter could do it. Just place something under the connection to catch any spillage and disconnect the end of the pipe to check for obstructions.
