Help!
Have been given an indesit wd 12x.When i put it on a wash it fills with a bit of water then seems to stop and the dial stays where it has been put.The drum rotates but the cycle doesn’t move on.
The dial clicked round when i tried to change it and clicked back to the same place .It seems like it will rinse and spin(not tried the dryer yet) but will not complete a wash cycle.Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks Simon

Re: help!

how long have you left it before you have decided that it is not going to ‘move on’ ?

If there is a fault on the machine the timer knob would start clicking round without stopping and the mains neon would flash a set number of times to indicate an error code.

The timer will not advance in the wash cycle until the water has been heated to the selected temperature.

A quick and simple check, select a wash, when the machine starts to tumble and you think it is not going to advance, go to your electricity meter and depending on the type of meter you have, the dial will be spinning quite fast or, the red light will be blinking rapidly if the washing machine is heating the water. Make sure you do not have any other high current using appliances such as cookers, kettles, irons etc on at the same time.

Remember, “a watched pot never boils” 😉

PS. If you manually move the timer after selecting a programme, it will rotate right round until it reaches the spot you started it on. To cancel a programme, turn the knob to one of the black dots and wait until the neon light flickers. Switch OFF, reset to the programme you require and switch back ON.
