Re: Indesit WG1030 does not agitate during rinse
OK – I am pretty sure this must be something to do with the thermostat. I started this line of thought after doing a 90 degree cleansing wash and noticed that after a hot fill the machine spends more time tumbling.
The machine has both hot & cold fill hoses. For 40 degree wash it only uses cold fill. If I set a 40 degree wash, but connect the cold hose to the hot supply, it then spends a lot more time during the wash phase tumbling.
So question – where is the thermostat? And can I disable it (for a trial) – force it to report temp is OK? And what kind of price/job is it to replace (myself).
Re: Indesit WG1030 does not agitate during rinse
Thanks for the response.
The behaviour is consistent over the past year (when I inherited the machine with the house), so not intermittent from that point of view. Which is why I have discounted brushes – it always does the final spin perfectly.
What do you mean by module – the PCB at the back/bottom/right of the machine (Remco 5525)? That seemed to be mostly resistors, 5 diodes, 1 zener, 1 IC, a transistor and one or 2 capacitors. Certainly no significant relay. The edge connectors on that PCB were OK (as far as I could see with a magnifying glass! Based on searching previous threads here I had a serious look/prod for dry joints as well! The only remarkable observation was a large (2W?) resistor had slight signs of superficial heat damage.) Is there any circuitry/relay on the motor itself?
I feel there is a mode for the motor, call it wash speed, that is plain broken, whereas other modes (slow turn while draining and several speeds of spin) are fine. But as a washing machine circuit novice I haven’t a clue where to find the broken bit!
