Iadom,

The friend that looked at the machine did mentioned that the impellor was free moving. I do not think he opened it up, just spun the impellor from outside.

When the machine fails to complete a cycle, there is water left behind. However, when selecting another cycle the first thing that happens is the water is drained away – gurgling from sink plug hole, and the sump is empty.

So, it seems it may be the PCB then? In the door?

Iadom,

When it failed to finish a cycle it did not empty as well.

Where would the PCB be? In the door?

Thanks again,
John

iadom,

The pump and outflow pipe were clean with no obstructions!

All put back together and run on 4. This cycle failed with 1+2 lights flashing. Restarted with 1, failed again. Then 3 actually worked to the end with no water left. Then we tried 2 and it has failed again with 1+2 flashing and water in the bottom.

Any other ideas?

Thanks John

The drain pump on these machines is very prone to jamming due to particles of glass,bone, wood, plastic, sweetcorn etc, etc getting stuck in the pump.

Not difficult to clear, mains plug out, mop out as much as you can from inside and then place a few large towels on the floor. Tip the machine over onto its left side (looking from the front) and remove the base plate. you may need to release the side panels on certain models.

Take note of the connections of the wiring to the float switch and remove plug.

If you then follow the grey plastic outlet pipe into the machine you will find the drain pump.

Removal of the pump is fairly obvious, protect the wiring etc from spillage and you should be able to remove the pump obstruction. Be careful to refit the black ‘O’ ring.

If you think you need help then click the link at the bottom of this post.

Jim,
Will this error code be the same for an Indesit DI620? Light 1+2 flashing rapidly together and water not draining away.

Is the repair described above the same for our model?

Many thanks,
John
