Re: Indesit WL113 Flashing No.1

Hi jim,
Thanks for the info about the warning light. At least its pointing to a similar source of the problem. I have called the Indesit guy (again -3rd time now) and insist he checks the pump. If that doesn’t solve the problem…i might just have a sledgehammer ready.

I will post a reply whatever happens.

Thanks.

Re: Indesit WL113 Flashing No.1

Hi Jim,

Actually, when the machine was delivered, the tray dispenser was damaged – I found bits of small plastics in the waste water pipe and the tray was replaced by the engineer. The engineer didnt check the filter because he was sure the blockage was caused by faulty plumbing. I also didnt think to check the filter until the problem started happening again after I have changed the sink trap etc.

I suppose the pump has to be removed from the back then?

Is the fact that the 4th function button is flashing points to another problem?

thanks.

Re: Indesit WL113 Flashing No.1

Oh sorry, one more question –

I was trying to clean the filter – can anyone tell me how the take the filter from an Indesit machine out? I followed instructions, – turn anti-clockwise. I did, but I cant pull it out. Is it cause there is an obstruction or that there is another way of releasing that I am unaware of?

Thanks again.

Hi,

An update on my problem – although the machine worked for a few wash, its packed up again. This time the 4th function light is flashing again. Can anyone tell me what that means? I was also trying to check the filter but was unable to pull it out. I managed to loosen it (turning clockwise) but can seem to pull it out. I suspect that the water is not draining out properly and maybe the filter is block, causing the pump to be ineffective.

I think I am slowly getting to the bottom of my problems but would like to know what the error message (4th button flashing) means.

Thanks.

Re: Indesit WL113 Flashing No.1

I have had the Indesit guy in – and he insist its my plumbing that is causing the problem. So I changed the waste water plumbing under my sink to make sure there is no problem with drainage. For the time being it has solved the problem. However, occasionally it is still playing up. I need to turn the machine off, set the machine to drain manually and then start it up again.

So, I am not entirely convinced that that was the only problem. The Indesit guy was insisting that the waste pipe from my machine was too long (apparently 1.5m is the recommended length) – however I still think this model is very buggy and not very reliable. The previous owner did not have any problem with the set up with her other machine. I would recommend first looking at the drainage – and if that doesnt solve the problem – probably getting a new machine. I definately regret getting this machine. I guess you get what you pay for!

I have gotten in touch with the Indesit service care and have booked an appointment. I will post up the solution if they manage to fix it.

Thanks
