Indesit-WIDL126 UK – Washer Dryer does not stop running

[aimengsi]

Hi everyone,

My washer dryer does not stop running after a programme been selected.

For example, I selected programme 2, temperature 40, and 45 mn for dry in the morning and went for a ride. I came back late in the afternoon and the machine was still running. It didn’t move to the dry section. I was forced to stop it manualy. (unplug and plug).

Then i decided to do another cycle again next day. And I sat, and observed the phenomenon. Then I realise that the machine washed, drained, spined… and then start the cycle again without moving to the drying section.

I also noticed that the water is cool, like there is no heating during the wahing cycle.

I moved to another scenario: wash only without dry. unfortunatly, the Indesit keep doing the same fault. running, running, and running; cool water only. I had to stop it manually again

What can the issue(s) be ??

Possibly a faulty heating element.

Hello,

I got a big problem with this WIDL126. This washing machine keeps looping… whatever program selected.

What I mean is that if I select Program 2, the machine washes, rinses and then start the cycle wash-rinse again and again until I stop it manually.

This also happens whenever I select The Rinse or The Spin Programs.

There is only one program that works fine: Drain. When Drain selected, the machine Drains correctly and stop normally.

All other programs just can’t stop until I press stop button to stop it.

I have checked the heater element and it’s OK.

Please help.

Many thanks 😳

Hiya
I have a WIDL126 and it was making alot of noise during certain parts of the cycle (either wash or dry) but its stopped that now but I have noticed the dryer is not getting hot. Also it keeps running for ever and ever.
It has done this before and I just cleaned it out and it seemed to fix the problem. But now the problem seems to have worsened – any ideas what it maybe? Thermostat? Bearings?
Is it worth repairing or jsut buy a new one? This si about 5 years old and has been in constant use.

Five years,thats double the normal life of one of these.

It sounds as though you have more than one fault on what it very much a low end, budget machine.

I would be wary of spending any signifcant amount of money on it.
