Indesit D63 controller fault!!

[atlantis]

Our Indesit D63 has developed a not stopping after program fault.
We use the number 5 program which is the 60 deg wash etc, at the cycle end it sits pumping for ever.
Turning the program knob does not stop the cycle and it’s not possible to start any other cycle.

Adding extra water results in it being pumped out and stays pumping.

Is there a sensor or is it a controller fault.
I would appreciate advice on the problem, is there a schematic/manual available.

Yes! It has a anti-flood float switch in the base and it indicates the machine has leaked onto the base. Draining off the flooded base and locating the leak is the likely remedy?

I tipped the unit onto its back and a pint of water came out onto the floor.
I don’t know if it was from inside or the base.
However the machine worked on cycle 6 after plugging in again.

I see from another posting for a different Indesit model there is a float and a microswitch in the base. How much water is needed to operate the float switch?.
Is there a common cause of leakage?

Thank you for putting me in the right direction. I was about to send it to the recycling center.
