Re: Indesit WIDL126 S Just keeps filling with water!! Oh Go
hi, thank you so much for detailed advice, I will try that 1st thing in the morning. From the link below, is the pressure switch the little unit which is on the bottom right hand side of the photo?
I just took a photo of the bottom of the washing machine and have found something odd….where the arrow is pointing, there appears to be a loose object inside the rubber housing…about the size of a tennis ball and hard…is that normal???? I can feel it if I squeeze the rubber…

Hi there, yes, it was me who submitted that photo.
I turned the washing machine over this evening, and having looked at the pump, everything seemed tightly in place and couldn’t even undo the pump as it has this metal wire around it. I turned it back on when it was upright again and the water kept gushing in ( the water pipe was also replaced ) and filling the drum…the washer at this stage started to make a loudish clicking sound which was some water being expelled slowly to the drain after 2 mins it would stop.
At that point all I can hear is this hissing sound. Like the kind of sound the old kettles used to make before it would start whistling. This sound was coming from the bottom of the washing machine and if I turned the washing machine off, the sound would stop too.
Would you know what this could be? 🙁
Re: Strange Problem with Indesit WIDL 126 S PLEASE HELP!!
hi guys, just to let you know that I managed to clean out the mentioned carbon brush and it now works…it really works!!!
Can I just ask for your expert advise on 2 little things please?….firstly, when i opened up the bottom of the washing machine…(link to photo is below)…there appears to be a screw missing (where red arrow is)..is this normal??

Also, on a quick wash, which the manual says is supposed to be 35 mins….last night took 2 hours with the washer on spin cycle for ages…is that normal????
Thanks in advance, I appreciate everything!!

Re: Strange Problem with Indesit WIDL 126 S PLEASE HELP!!
Hi guys, we do have a 2 year old who pressed a few buttons just before we were leaving yesterday and and I quickly managed to stop him and having looked to see if any changes were made, everything looked fine (or so it seemed). I did read up about the start delay, but wouldn’t the washer reset void that? I read here that you can do so by having the door open and repeatedly pressing the power button.
Also, thank you to all who replied about the carbon brush…exactly where is this?…it looks quiet small. In some cases, is it simply a matter of cleaning it?…or shall I just replace it?
We have an engineer coming in 3 days and would really prefer to not pay the £100!
