Indesit WM1234 TG

[rallyman04]

I have one of these models that has recently started to give me agro! The following things are happening/Have happened.
The washing maching started to “stick” on fill (i.e Switch m/c on and it does not stop filling).
I removed the lid and had a closer look nothing untoward, plugged back in and it semed fine for a few weeks, it then did this again. I took the lid off and tapped the program dial/controller, plugged back in same thing happened about 1 month later.
I have recently bought a new controller dial and fitted it (It is the right one and the connectors are all sound and ok). The machine will now only fill when started. I have poked around the waste pipe and adjusted its hieght (to stop any siphoning activity). There is a vacuum/pressure switch on the RHS of the frame is there a continety test that can be used to check this items operation.
Where do I start to look next or is there any tests that I can do?
I am a service engineer (though this is my 1st washing machine!) so I have the necessary tools/test equipment if you want to test anything.
Many Thanks
Michael

Given that you have described tha fault as coming and going, I’d suggest keeping it simple – follow the air hose down from the pressure switch, to the pressure chamber. Remove this and thoroughly clean it out, as well as the hose it joins to.

For future readers, power off please.

Ive done that and removed what looks like a small swamp! blurgh Ran it up and hey presto it now lives! :tup:
Spose over that last 7 years of ownership I should have done the odd service wash! :bang: That’ll learn me – Anyone want to buy a new timer for a WG1234tg?
MANY THANKS FOR THAT PENGUIN45!
