Power cut halfway washing cycle on indesit iwme126

[MartinTeefy]

Hi,

Model: Indesit iwme126

I now have 2 green flashing buttons (buttons 1 &2 from the left, 4 in total) and the red flashing power button.

The door could be opened ok but the water still remains in the drum.

I’ve drained this machine before and replaced the door seal in the past so reasonably Ok with accessing the workings of the washer but after draining it, will I be able to reset it or is these sequence of lights indicating the power outage has fried the pcb?

Thanks
Martin

Bad luck and it would be an intergrated appliance! Sadly it is usually the power, bottom r/h/side corner, pcb has had it.Visually check this pcb but you might not see anything at fault or it might be visible from 100 yrds and blown up! BUT I`d also check motor brushes and the wires to the door interlock ( I`ve had the wires burn out at the interlock connector and the wires to the facia panel pcb just in case, first two are common faults.
Note I`m pretty sure that any brand new pcb will be blank = won`t work unless either programmed via Indesit on site via their trusty money making lap top or you can buy a very expensive gizmo card reader that plugs in to the new pcb with a the suitable smart card for your model that slips into the reader, conclusion: you`d be well financially hammered either way. Only other suggestion is to get the pcb repaired if possible, QER in Cumbria perhaps? or buy a used one off ebay from a scrapper advertized for your model. Would of thought it will be easy to get then it`ll just be a case of swapping the wires over to s/hand pcb and hopefully all other things being checked before hand with fingers X`d it should then work.
