Re: Indesit W123 UK flashing error code nine – now three

OK. New machine it is.

It would have been nice to have fixed it but it is just not worth taking it any further with this machine.

:tup: Thank you to everyone for your help / comments. :tup:

Re: Indesit W123 UK flashing error code nine – now three

Well the NTC sensor has a resistance of 35K (at room temperature) and the connection on the control board has a resistance of 14K. When connected together the combined resistance drops to 10K so I am confident that the connections are OK.

This leaves either the NTC being faulty or the control board has gone phut. Thermistors come in all sorts of values so I have no idea if 35K is about right, can somebody let me know this?

My feeling is that the thermistor is fine and a new control board is needed which would basically mean a new machine (a Bosch this time I think….).

(NTC = negative temperature coefficient if you are wondering like I was)

Ok, I’m back home and have plugged the control board back in together with the new EEPROM and…..

… it now flashes error code three when the dial rotates.

Can you tell me what that is please. (Can’t find anybody else with this problem during a search)

Cheers (and thanks for the previous comments)

Re: Indesit W123 UK flashing error code nine

New EEPROM has turned up – Thank you UK Whitegoods. Good service.

EEPROM is a 16kb 93C86 (Cost of blank part from Farnell £1.20 – Cost of part with code in it £25. – Its a pity that Indesit make you pay an extra for the code considering that I have bought the code already once when I got the machine in the first place. )

Removed old part from board and discover that it had almost been wiped clean (contents was #FFFE, a full wipe would be #FFFF). Nothing wrong with the device though and was able to put the new code back into the old part without a problem. Makes me wonder what caused the device to be wiped in the first place? Have Indesits got a built in self destruct?

I’ll put the control board back in the machine this evening and hopefully that will get it back operational again.

Re: Indesit W123 UK flashing error code nine

Cool, I was thinking this was a bin job but I’m an Elec Eng by trade so buying, programming, fitting Eeproms is something I can do easily. The only issue is the code within the Eeprom, I guess you don’t have a copy to hand?!?

Model W123 UK BG
Type LV 2001-12-C
S/N 210281161 91268710001
COD 26871

Do you need details of the Eeprom on the board? I’ll get it if need be but I’ve just put the board back and the machine back together and into its slot :innocent:

Thanks for your help penguin…. (oh and yes, we do have bats in the attic!)
