IWDC65125 all lights flashing but machine works when dryer element disconnected

[Furhan]

Hi,
I have a 2 years old Indesit IWDC65125 washer dryer on test. The machine came in with all lights flashing, when switched on it started filling and draining.

Checked the drain hose, checked the sump and pump all clear. Checked the pressure switch, ok.

Disconnected the dryer element and the machine was working normally.

Tested with a dryer unit from another machine, it started working but all the lights started flashing again.

Is it most likely the board?
Thanks

Have you tried checking the dryer ntc and the wiring to it.

[Furhan]

Yes, switched the NTC.
Just tested again, it works for a few minutes then the top horizontal lights all flash, the vertical progress lights, the bottom three drain, dryer and end are steady green with the red door lock light on too.

If the wiring and plug are good, check the insulation on both dryer and wash elements.

Managed to find another machine with the same dryer assembly, swapped it with that one and working ok. Need to test this one again to isolate the fault.

Dryer elements have historically been a problem in the past with leaking a small current down to Earth.

If it works with dryer element disconnected, i’d be 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} certain to replace the dryer element.

I put the faulty unit it in the other machine and it works perfectly fine.
