Indesit WIA101 Problem

[vinny_uk]

Last week I put my washer on and after about five minutes the electrtics tripped out. After putting them back on the machine started again but again the electrics tripped. It would seem my washer was at fault, but I don’t know how. Now when I come to use the washer it always comes up with the same problem. Firstly, if you out it on any wash program, it begins to fill with water and then stops and all the LEDs flash (but the top green one indicating wash). If I choose another program, such as spin, it will spin, but not fot long until the same LEDs light. If I choose drain, the lights flash almost straight away.

I have fixed the washer before, involving getting a trapped coin out of the pump. This time, I took apart the pump thinking the problem may have surfaced again but this doesn’t seem to be the problem.

Does anybody have a solution to this? Has the tripping electrics messed up my machine or could there be a simple fix to get it going again?

Help is much appreciated!

Yes and no in that order. 🙁

This can be a costly repair from the outset. Any component could be at fault though, usually the motor is to blame and it takes out the circuit board with it as a rule?

Thanks Martin. I pretty much guessed that would be the answer, hence the reason I ordered a new machine that will be here this week. I was clutching at straws whilst I still have the opporunity to cancel it.
