Hi
Any idears on how to read later indesit flashing LEDs ?
Ind wia111 , machine working perfect but at end of cycle cannot turn machine off at the on/off button,also all LEDs illuminate together then door lock led flashes for times then back to all LEDs lighting up.

Hi don
Thank you so much

Its not an error code so it can only really be a PCB failure.

Always a good idea to megger the heater and motor whenever you get a strange fault and check the connections between the boards.

EMW are the best option if there is nothing obvious.

I think that’s a “low end” model with the single board behind the fascia. I think they are the ones which are so unreliable that they caused EMW to reduce their guarantee period to six months.
Umm Just a second thought on that – wonder if they have a medium sized capacitor somewhere which is under rated – this sounds remarkably similar to the Hotpoint 680uf 10v scenario.
See, “simple pcb repairs” sticky post 1.

Hi mike
Checked the capacitors already, thought that was what i would be going to change.
However lights are flashing in a controlled manner unlike when the capacitor fault is apparent.
Also the machine appears to be working perfectly .
At end of cycle interlock will release in the normal manner,however you are unable to turn machine of at the on off button on the front of the machine .
Cheers anyway for your input

Almost certainly a duff PCB. 😥

Hi
yes i do think that is the case also.

seems to have been a circuit board kind of a week

Cheers

A machine like that one isn’t worth spending much money on. I’d advise the customer to use it with a plug in timeswitch so the power is cut off automatically after an appropriate period.

Re: **Indesit WIA111*

Hi mike
Totally agree with you !
However plug is behind machine and no switch above the bench.
As for not worth repairing it this guy wants it done.
Checked on masterpart last night board £46 plus vat so not too bad.

Hi
Not sure it does not say .
Ishall ring next week and ask prior to me ordering it.

Re: **Indesit WIA111*

Hi
Checked that board out with masterpart but not pre programmed
Doh !!!!!

Re: **Indesit WIA111*

Hi guys
I went back to this machine today and fitted a new circuit board.
I was delighted when i could see the machine now working ok.
I was talking to a hotpoint engineer who advised me that this is a very common fault.
I also observed that this machine seemed to be stuck on the one programme, and could not reset.
It would however complete the programme perfectly ok.
Cheers
