Re: Indesit WIDL102 – Rapid Flashing (5+2 lights) too hot?

🙂 – I’d already started down the full replacement research path!

Ah, I was wondering if F13-15 were dryer component only error codes (based on the wording of the thing I looked it wasn’t clear if they were dryer related components only).

Looking at things a bit closer, I put a meter on the plug, shows consumption statistics – seems that the heating element is likely on ‘full’ the whole time – seems to be drawing around 1730W constantly during the ‘wash’ cycle.

Looking at the electrical tape that is around the sub-set of wires that just go to the temperature sensor and heating element – these seem to have been rather hot at some stage and have largely liquefied the ‘sticky’ bit of the tape :fire:

My guess is either a sensor fault (that doesn’t class as a sensor fault – i.e misreporting temperature vs not working) so that the element is on constantly – but would have thought there should be a fallback for that going awry based on ‘excessive’ time / energy used by the element.

Either way, doesn’t sound cost effective as you suggest!

Thanks iadom.

Re: Indesit WIDL102 washer/dryer flashing LEDs -> 1 and 3

Seems the ole machine isn’t happy at all.

Seems to now regularly stall with either 2+4 or 1+3 lit.

Couldn’t see any obvious blockages / leaks.

Rented accommodation so I guess its time to ring the land lord!
