Re: Indesit washing machine not turning – Motor or Module?
If I buy a new module will it just plug in and work, I’m worried they might need programming or something as they seem to fit multiple models.
Re: Indesit washing machine not turning – Motor or Module?
Hmm, The replacement module I found isn’t actually for my machine sadly. However I have removed the module and had a very close look at it and I can’t see anything wrong with it, not a even a mark surely there would be some evidence damage? It even smells ok!
Going back to the motor, it makes a slight burring noise when turned, is this normal? I shouldn’t have thought that there are any parts that should make a noise. Aren’t the only moving parts the bearings?Re: Indesit washing machine not turning – Motor or Module?
Well the machine’s only a year or so old and I can get a replacement speed control module for £80-90 so I think I’ll skip the skip for now! Unless there’s something I’m missing?
Why should this happen anyway?Re: Indesit washing machine not turning – Motor or Module?
I do have continuity between all the connection, does that mean I can rule out the motor? It doesn’t even twitch so I presume it’s receiving nothing at all from the control module.
Re: Indesit washing machine not turning – Motor or Module?
If its the control module for sure then at least I can just order the part and feel confident. Trouble is I’d like to rule out a problem with the motor first, however I’ve no idea how to test it with a multimeter. I’d be amazed if it was the motor as induction motors are normally bombproof as far as I was aware and the machine isn’t old.

Hi again,
I had a look at the mains suppressor, I couldn’t see anything obvious however there was a very slight black tint to some of the soldered joints coming from the ‘coil'(?). But surely if this part was faulty the machine wouldn’t work at all?
