Indesit WIB111 stops mid cycle

[robinh]

We have an Indesit WIB111.
Not sure how old, I’ve replaced brushes twice – about 4 years apart, the drive belt and bolt holding the large pulley on the back of the drum asit came loose and chewed up the belt. 😥

Lately it has been either stopping mid cycle, stopping before the rinse or refusing to start any program.

Checked the pressure switch, cleaned the pipes, cleaned the drain, filter and checked the pump is clear and running.

After a few minutes the door lock light flashes along with the fast wash light (number 4?). Lifted the lid and checked to see if either hidden led was on, but all others (1 – 3) are off. So looks like its Error code F01 and off to the tip unless anyone else can give me any clues on what else I can check. Motor does turn and it will wash for between 2 and 15 minutes before stopping.

Thanks

Robin
