Re: Indesit Widl 126 – Lights 1-3-4 & lock flashing

So… we tried every program and the result is the same. Whenever we start the machine, in like 10 seconds it starts flashing and pump keeps trying to get water out.

With regular washing program, it took water in. After 10 seconds at most pump just sent all water out and there goes flashes!

With spin… same.

With rinse… same.

I tried only using the drain program and see what happens… Same.

So in 5-10 seconds, machine starts flashing 1-3-4-lock lights and pump tries sending out water. I see the drain hose out from the machine moving as the pump tries to send the water not existing in the tank…

Anything we can do? Or do we have to call for someone for this (hope not).

hmm… I did what you said but weirdly, once it started getting water in, in like 30 seconds at most, it stopped with the same flashing and pump started sending water out… Then it’s all same again. Pump keep trying to pump out, but no more water left in the tank.

So basically it takes in a little bit of water, then pumps it out while flashing starts…

Re: Indesit Widl 126 – Lights 1-3-4 & lock flashing

well, I wish the washing machine actually worked like a wishing well… 😉

So, any idea about what to fix in our case? It is not blocked. Pump impeller seems to be turning still, but the machine stops once I start it with all the flashing and such.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

P.S. I don’t think so but; would it matter if we turn the machine on without anything inside? Or turn on spinning without any water in the tank? I suppose that wouldn’t make difference.

Thanks Jim.

We tried to start the machine (to spin) after removing the filter or valve I don’t know, the thing that you remove from the front-bottom-right. We can see the impeller – something like a fan 😳 inside. (i am terrible with technical terms)

First the drum starts turning and then after a minute or so, the impeller/fan starts and the lights start flashing, the drum stops turning. But we can see that this impeller/fan keeps turning.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

Sorry, I know nothing about machines and so the filter you are talking about (to be removed), is it within the pump? An the impeller also?

We removed the hoses from the pump and they are clean. Now do we have to look “inside” the pump?
