Re: Indesit WIL123S error code – door lock and LED1 delay ti
update……
heard on another forum that a very similar sounding problem was fixed by cleaning out a few pipes, including a breather pipe going to the pump. It was something involving a pressure switch???
Anyway I took the pump out and cleaned it out, and also the large drainage pipe on the base of the drum, with the plastic ball in it, whatever that’s for? none of them were dirty to start with.
There is no breather pipe on my pump though. it looks like there could be on another model as there is a small pipe connector coming off the pump moulding but it is capped off. there is another pipe connecting to the one that comes of the bottom of the drum which goes up into the top the machine somewhere. could that be it? It is a thin pipe cased in a foam tube.
i’m not a pro at these things but i can usually figure stuff out if it’s mechanical. this thing though is something else. all the parts work fine, it must be some sort of sensor, or electronic problem,,,all stuff i know nothing about!
this thing will be going in the skip soon! 👿

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.
I have ran another cycle and the heating seems fine, even on 60 deg the glass fells nice and hot.
I’ve watched it more closely this time and it turns out the cycle is not being finished and the problem occurs at teh start of the spin, then the program quits.
As it starts to spin the machine sounds like it is draining. I tis making a kind of churning, chugging sound, which it has always done when it begins to spin. After a couple of seconds before it has had a chance to get up to speed the lights start flashing and the machine stops spinning, however it continues to ‘chug, chug chug’ until you turn it off at the wall.
After powering back on, opening the door shows that the machine has drained all the water away.
If I don’t open the door after turning the machine back on, If I don’t open the door within a few seconds, you can here a relay click as if the machine is checking itself, and the lights start flashing again.
So, the pump and heater themselves are working. Could it be that the machine is not sensing when all the water has been drained and it doesn’t knwo when to stop?
It sounds quite similar to when my pump was blocked, as if it pumps for longer than a given period it quits, though it was a different set of lights on that occasion.
