Hotpoint WMF560 fault

[chapelhousemark]

Hi, hope someone can help with this.
The washing machine has been gradually been getting worse over the past 2-3 months. It started with the delicates wash staying on all the time which meant that we had to set it to spin to dry stuff. Then the LEDs at the bottom of the display started staying on which didn’t affect us using it but were another indicator of something going wrong. Last week it started taking several attempts to set a particular wash cycle, today it wont accept wash cycle 3 no matter how many times we tried.
Its not showing any error codes by the way.
Any help would be appreciated, if its something I can fix myself so much the better.

Not advancing during the wash cycle ‘could’ be a heater fault. Simple to check the heater if you have a megger or suitable multi meter.
Does sound as though the console module may be faulty though.

Can I get it repaired or replace it? What would be the cost either way?

You can always get them repaired, impossible to know the cost without isolating the exact fault.
Faults on the Indesit electronics are very common and not cheap to fix.
A faulty heater is quite a simple task though.
