indesit we16

[gaz1970]

Hi, I hope someone can help me with my we16 washing machine

It has worked well for 4 years and now when you select a program it dose not fill or appear to start washing. It also said DOOR on the LCD a few times if that gives any clues, also it appears to go through the whole cycle but throws no error codes up

any help would be appreciated before calling a technician

Hi
I would imagine door interlock a fault to be honest.

THANKS FOR QUICK REPLY

I have just had door interlock switch off front door, I can see the plastic strip that is pushed to the left by the closed door to activate switch, but i can not see how it moves the small black lever on theend of the switch which activates it, could there be something broken off the housing

is it a switch assembly that i order from indesit? or switch and housing seperate

Re: indesit we16

After a period of time they get “lazy” best option would be to change the lock.
Goto spares@ Im sure you will get sorted there.

P/no C00011140 or C00085194 are suitable locks for this appliance. An email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk for prices and ordering.

Update

My mum has the same washing machine so I tried the door interlock on her washer, hers works OK with the switch fitted, Any other suggestions welcome

Re: indesit we16

Could be a fault with the door catch, take your mums door off and try it on your machine 😆

Re: indesit we16

Hi
Ok did you try the door complete with latch and/or electronic door lock on frame of appliance??

Greg

Re: indesit we16

the whole assembly from behind the the front panel switch and slider

Re: indesit we16

and the door complete as the striker/latch could be faulty?? 😕

Re: indesit we16

never tried the door itself as I thought that was ok because it locks and wont open but could be wrong I suppose

[gegsy]

Re: indesit we16

Try yours on yer mums or vice versa just to eliminate 😉

Re: indesit we16

I changed the door over but same problem

I decided to have a look at control PCB at back ond there is a big black burned out patch with a transistor blown and a track on PCB burnt through I know I will have to replace this but do you think for it to be blown like that it could be a motor etc aswell that has done it so scrap it?
