indesit W93 uk Code 1

I’ve searched and searched on this.

Symptom : gets to spin cycle and dial clicks round, and the spin cycle does not complete

Error code : the power light is the only light and this flashes once and pauses for a few seconds then one flash again, etc whilst the dial is turning.

Additional notes : turning the machine off at the mains for 30-secs and putting dial to a blob resets. Then putting on to a spin setting and the power lights flashes confirming the programme but still no spin, dial turns round again as before. Clothes come out as wet as there started, if not wettter!

Solutions already examined : pump and filter – all clear. waste pipe not kinked or blocked. presure switch functions ok. electrical connections all seem ok and clean. belt is ok and not loose.

can you help? Brushed in the motor is the only thing I can think of that I’ve not checked! 😕

a large hammer is next……………… 😈

Many a true word….. 😉

Unfortunately 1 flash points to a motor triac fault, in essence there is ‘possibly’ a fault on your main PCB. Very expensive part, also needs a new eeprom. could also be loose or broken connections between motor & PCB.

hi, thanks for the reply.

It did spin on another cycle today so seems intermitant, or possibly only certain programmes, which could point to the eeprom 🙁 I did use contact cleaner on the edge connectors to the PCB and they looked ok anyway. if its only a triac then possibly these can be bought from Maplins? I’m ok with a soldering iron.

would you think stripping the brushes out anyway might be a good idea before attempting pcb replacement?

Always worth checking the brushes, the electronics on these machines are notoriously fickle, even a change in the wind can upset them. 😥
