Re: Indesit W123 washing machine

Hi Penguin 45.
Thank you so much for your help. It WAS the brushes. Works perfectly except for a little noise like a wasp buzzing as the comm contacts the brushes. Spect this is just bedding in?
Thanks again, you’ve come up with the goods for me twice now.

Will try a new set of brushes. It’s a cheap option at the moment. Thanks, will let you know how I get on.

Re: Indesit W123 washing machine

Hi Guys, thanks for the advice so far.

I have checked the carbon brushes and cleaned (gently) the comm. But how would I know if the brushes are working? They are not broken or cracked although I don’t know how much there should be left. It’s about 1/4 – 1/2″ poking out of the holder.

The switching on/off sequence to date is Power on, red light flashes twice, then 3 quick flashes, then stays on. Nothing else now moves although there is an audible click from somewhere (not the rotary dial).

Thanks for the reply.
Now, I started it on Programme 1, the mains indicator light came on, then there was a whir from somewhere inside (like a pump trying to activate), then a click (from inside?) then it clicked round as far as only programme 4 (not a complete cycle) with the mains light on continuously, no flashing.
I switched off again, isolated it, switched on at Programme 4, the light came on, did 3 or 4 quick flashes, there was a click from behind the panel (not the dial knob), and then no movement at all. Light stayed on.
