Re: Indesit WD10 Problems
Final footnote to this saga: after messing around for over a week testing various bits, trying to see what error code was flashed up, and flooding the conservatory after the drain hose flipped out of the bucket, I have taken this load of electrical sewage to the tip.
Never did find out what error code it was; every time I ran it up it produced another problem. First the dial clicked round and round and didn’t stop; then the thing stopped at the rinse cycle and wouldn’t move; then it just sat at the starting position and did nothing.
Now I know what you mean, Steve, about the Indesit being a rubbish bin with a badge on it.
But thanks for all your help guys, before the day of execution! 🙂
Re: Indesit WD10 Problems
Thanks Steve, take your point. Incidentally, what does GOG and Megger mean? I’ll do some more checks on the components, but I guess what I really need is a manual to know what the m/m readings should be!
I guess we have been lucky with our Indesit; it’s managed to last six and a half years with no trouble until now. From what I hear the life expectancy of a lot of washers is around 4 years or so.
Are you really a cockney….? Living in Oldham…. 😯 ??
Re: Indesit WD10 Problems
Thanks Phidom, I’ll check out the cold water valve as you suggest. But from my checking spares for this it seems that there’s not a lot available nowadays; our local appliance spares place has this model down as “obsolete”.
I guess this is a case of buy a new one and move on. It does seem a shame to take another old machine to the tip when a lot of it may well be sound though 🙁 .
Re: Indesit WD10 Problems
I really would appreciate a reply to this thread, our washing is starting to mount up!
I have asked around with one or two appliance repair places, and they say that it sounds more like the PCB is faulty and probably too uneconomical to repair.
Would any of you experts care to comment?
Thanks.
Re: Indesit WD10 Problems
Penguin, helo,
Have removed the heater element, and checked the resistance. The reading is 30.2 ohms.Is this faultly then? Many thanks for your help.
Re: Indesit WD10 Problems
Many thanks Penguin, I have now bought a digital multimeter and will check out the component in the next few days. I’ll reply with some feedback when I know the outcome!
