    Fitted a new door lock to this about a month ago, door lock light was flashing at the time. It has worked fine until today.

    Switch on, select programme, press start, all lights including door lock illuminate then go off, wash light comes on, door locks but door lock light does not come on and machine just sits there, zippo, zilch, nothing. Exactly the same when set to spin. 😥

    Plugged in the hardware key, pressed auto test, door locks but again it just sits there.

    I am assuming that it is just one more duff Indesit PCB, unless you know different. 😉

    I would agree with whats been posted so far,Motor fault for sure,,,Pull pull pull on the wires on the motor plug and you will have a broken one.

    Jim,
    you’ve said that you have pluged hardware key??? why not used WMD_Sat also? :hmm: there you can see also peripheric commands and feedback :zap: … and will see if door lock contacts makes contact…

    Brush condition together motor wires should be checked by reading continuity at PCB motor connector… 😉

    I think I have seen some of those pictures before. The independent trade just does not have access to any of that sadly.

    Just to put this one to bed. It was a brush fault. As I mentioned very lightly used machine. One of the brushes was stuck in the holder, not seen that before on FHP motor brushes.
