Indesit SIXAL 145UK – Door Gasket fit

[MickGeorge]

Hi Folks

Got to fit a door gasket to one of these this week.. ripped door gasket and phoned info through so I have the part but not seen the machine yet..

Sounds like its the same as the Hotpoint with all the controls on the door so was just wondering if anyone had fitted a door gasket to one of these yet and what was involved.. eg problems or is it straight forward?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Mick

Ah! The Indesit MOON eh….looks pretty straightforward to be honest. Lid off, sprung band fixes it to the tub and a fiddle with the dispenser inlet pipe fitting within the boot I guess?…A walk in the park for a guy like you Mick.. 8)

oooo youl love this one the dispenser is in the door so jet are in top of the seal, if i remember you have to disconect hoses that have the claw type clip on them and some screws under the plastic wash info card above door opening. not too bad 20-30mins ish

Hi folks – just an update and some questions..

Went to fit door gasket but customer wanted to leave till after Christmas!! so charged her for gasket and call out and left it there but had a quick look at m/c to see what was involved on return. The only fiddle I could see was the hose clips as pedicted BUT first time I’ve seen one of these machines and it left me with several questions..

These have only five programes (i think) just wash programs, none of them rinse, or spin and no indication of once you have started a programe how 2 get the m/c to go into a spin to get water out.. presume you just cancel program off to get the water out but what about just a spin?

There are no indicator lights so what happens when a fault occurs – it looks typical Indesit inside with the crappy module tucked down the rear so does the m/c shut down and do you need computer and software to dignose or is there some indication of what the fault is???

How does that stupid soap disp work in the door – looks a right abortion and frought with probs with door seal leakage?.. Does the water flush the soap powder out through the top of the contaner or the bottom, as the holes looked to small for a decent flow of water through them at the bottom.. and what about the sponge in the little tray that retracts when the door closes. 😆 Obviously there to catch the drips from the dispenser when you open the door but talk about heath robinson.. :rolls: Some stupid nerd designeer has gone to bed thinking he has done some super inovating design and not realizes what a piece of crap it is..

Coments apreciated..

Mick
