ParticipantHi all,
Trying to repair my aquious WDL520 washer dryer myself. when empty it gets through an entire cycle but when its got clothes in it gets to drain or spin and all lights start flashing and it stops. Drains fine and pump disconected and checked. When it stops the vertical lights show locked light and dry light. I know this is an error code but Hotpoint will not tell me over the phone :rolls:
Many Thanks in advance for any help.

If the lights that are on steady are the 1st and 3rd from the botton up then that is F05. Error codes are given using the bottom five , right hand vertical lights, numbered from bottom to top.
Pressure switch stuck on full, most likely cause is not draining correctly.
Faulty pump, blocked filter, blocked or restricted outlet pipe under the sink etc.
Could be faulty pressure switch but not that common.

Thank you for the reply.
Removed all pipes and cleared opened pump and cleaned. Also just let it fill and pump witch it promptly does with no hasstle. I am assuming the filter contains the ball under the unit? This i have cleaned. Also now removed top and taken out preassure unit blown into to hear one click on exhale and then click on release so imagine this is ok. Any other suggestions would be great. I am quite god with machines as long as i know what im looking for. Again many thanks.

You didn’t confirm if it was the 1st and 3rd lights from bottom????
The error codes are only a guide and as your machine is virtually all Indesit it has possibly the most unreliable electronics on the market. Blowing into a pressure switch and hearing click is not a conclusive sign that it is not faulty TBH.

Sorry. Vertical lights two are lit and not flashing. These are from the bottom 1 and 3. Or lock and dry. all horizontal lights are flashing without pause.
