Re: Indesit WI121 Stuck Dial/Not Heating

Last chance at diagnosing the problem I think!

The machine is definitely not taking any water from the hot fill. I’ve had a look in the machine and the valve at the pipe entrance is humming but it doesn’t appear to be opening.

If I turn the cold fill tap no water goes into the machine and the cycle doesn’t start.

It seems odd that the water isn’t being heated and no water is coming in from the hot fill. Perhaps a problem with the thermostat?

We checked again today and when the dial is manually moved to the end program line the LED flashes twice rapidly before the normal end program flashes.

There are definitely no flashes when the cycle is stuck though.

That’s what I was wondering. Is there any way of checking/diagnosing any problems with the heater?

Thanks Martin,

When the cycle becomes ‘stuck’ the light doesn’t flash.

I’ve left the machine running for a couple of hours before to see if anything would happen but it just stays on the wash cycle.

I’ve not noticed the light flashing abnormally at other times either.
