Indesit WG1130T

[admin]

I had to turn off the power to my machine in the middle of a cycle and since then it fails to complete.

It gets to the point where it should ‘spin’ and empty but then just stops??

I have tried turning off at the mains and reseeting etc…any ideas please

Re: Indesit WG1130T

Almost certainly the pump is blocked and not draining off the water.( It needs to drain off 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the water before it will spin) However if it is draining off the water but still won’t spin, then it more likely the Motor is the problem and more specifically, the Motor Carbon Brushes are worn out and need replacing.

Any local repair company could advise beyond that. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS YOURSELF!

Re: Indesit WG1130T

Thanks, but how do I check for a block?, because it is not draining off

The pump is accessible on the front right hand side. To drain the water off, lower the drain hose into a bowl or bucket until empty. Remove the tub to pump hose clip and check for blockage within the pump chamber and the sump hose.

PLEASE DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS BEFORE ATTEMPTING REPAIRS!

Martin,

Fantastic!!!..I have cleaned everything out (what a mess) and it now works fine.

Martin, I have a similar problem with the same type of machine. The pump is clear and all the water drained. The drum motor continues to run at the ‘wash’ speed and will not spin. The programme knob contiues round Ok. Just before the spin is supposed to start the motor does pick up speed a little then goeas back to the ‘Wash’ speed. Does the machine think the load is not balanced? I can’t get it to work even with no load. Any ideas?

Thanks

Pablo.

Re: Indesit WG1130T

When I used to work for Merloni this was a classic module problem. Machine would progress through the program but would refuse to do final spin. I suggest you put your postcode on the forum and Im sure someone will supply either a module or labour and module for reasonable price. Good luck – Bonz

I also think I would suspect the Module or at least the connector block to the Module (some contact may have burnt?)

Good luck !

Re: Indesit WG1130T

Thanks Bonz, strangely enough in desperattion, I was a little more rough in the operation of the programmer knob than I should have been and it’s fixed!! This will be tempory though as this is the third time that the fault has occured (this though, was the longest outage). Next time it does it I will get a price on replacing the module.

Thanks again

Pablo

Re: Indesit WG1130T

Martin / Bonz, thanks again for your help. Silly question time? Is the programmer knob that I turn the ‘module’ or is the module something else?

Regards

It’s something else.

Pablo, as Bonz suggested, it may be worth you putting you’re postcode up here and ask for an engeineer to call out. Please don’t take this the wrong way but it is evident that you do not have much of a clue what you are looking for, and in that respect it is best left to those that do as you could well do more harm than good and cause yourself unnecessary expense.

Regards.

Re: Indesit WG1130T

I know it seems simple, but is it possible that the connection to the Spin-speed button has become disconnected and hence it is now only spinning at the lower speed?

Re: Indesit WG1130T

I too have had a problem with the power and then the machine not working! You can set the machine to the programme(1-4) and it fills with water and then just stops, doesn’t do anything. I can then turn it to programme 5 and the machine works fine. Any ideas to the problem, or anywhere that I might be able to get a hold of the manual???

Thanks,
Shaun.

Re: Indesit WG1130T

this may be caused by the appliance not being able to heat the water during wash,try it on a cold wash and see if it goes through ok,if it does then i suspect a fault on the thermostat or heater assembly,you will need to arrange for a engineer to carry out these repairs.

Hey – I found this topic really helpful. Went straight to the pump & found a 5p coin in it.

Works a charm now – thanks guys.
