Indesit WE16 fault

[admin]

Machine overfilling with water (3/4 of the way up the door), displays error message -H20. Indesit says this means there is not enough water in machine! (Any more and I could keep goldfish in there!)

Indesit Engineer has replaced inlet valve and main control board. Machine tested each time on spin and drain cycles, works okay. As soon as he has left and my wife uses her normal program (no. 5), the machine starts to overfill again. Any thoughts?

Re: Indesit WE16 fault

Presumably you are calling him back to resolve the problem ?

If you are, ask him to replace the pressure switch as that’s the most likely cause given what has already been replaced 😉

Cheers Dave,

between me posting the enquiry and your reply, I had contacted Indesit and they were going to send out a Senior Service Engineer, as the previous engineer was unable to fix the problem. However he was coming on Tuesday 11 Jan!. My wife was not impressed with this, so we contacted a local engineer, who said it sounded like a pressure problem, and came out within the hour.
He looked at the pressure switch and found that the air trap had come loose (or had been removed) from it location on the drum. On closer inspection the pressure pipe was found to have a split in. This was replaced and (touch wood) the machine has been working correctly ever since!
Still waiting for the indesit engineer to come out so that I can explain the problem and solution to him.
