Re: Indesit WIL 113 LED1 Error Code
Wise words, I am sure, but I don’t like to be beaten. I have commercial washing machines that are aged 30 years+ and earn me money on a daily basis so if there’s a chance a £15-30 level switch will cure it I’ll take that option. However, if you et al tell me that a faulty board will definately blow a new switch then I might buy a cheap new machine for this flat which is only occasionally used.
Re: Indesit WIL 113 LED1 Error Code
Yup, the fault has returned after 3 years. Am thinking of trying a new pressure switch first – but if the board IS faulty, will it just blow the new switch straightaway?
Re: Hotpoint & Creda Washing Machine Drum Paddle V2 Help pl
Cracked it! I thought of using a thin allen key, but it didn’t protrude enough through the top of the lifter to get purchase. In the end I got a normal wire coat-hanger and made a 90degree angle about 15mm from the end. I lifted the tab a little, slid the lifter into place, then poked the wire through the 5th hole from the front, got the 15mm under the tab and eased it up. Fiddly, but eventually got there.
Thanks to all for your contributions.
Re: Hotpoint & Creda Washing Machine Drum Paddle V2 Help pl
Many thanks. Think I’ll make my own ‘special tool’ from a wire coathanger, failing that will get out the drill.
Re: Hotpoint & Creda Washing Machine Drum Paddle V2 Help pl
Thanks, iadom – that is the machine I have. So, how does one perform this particular magic trick?
Re: Hotpoint & Creda Washing Machine Drum Paddle V2 Help pl
Maybe on some, but not on mine. Lifter will not slide into place with tab raised.
Re: Hotpoint & Creda Washing Machine Drum Paddle V2 Help pl
I have the same problem – tab needs to be pushed down to slide lifter into place, then needs pushing up to hold lifter. Can’t see any way to get to outside of inner drum to do this, and near impossible to do it through one of the holes in the lifter. Any help appreciated.
Re: Hotpoint BWM129 leak on fill
Filter had been checked many times. You were spot on – there was a sock between the inner and outer drums that had lodged in the outlet and may well have caused the soap hatch-to-tub hose to come away. Absolute swine to extract, but yet another reason to be glad I keep an old wire coat-hanger in my toolbox.
Re: Hotpoint BWM129 leak on fill
No not noisy, but now tenant reports that although pump can be heard running it doesn’t always remove the water. Maybe there is something in there – but could the be another reason for this?
Re: Indesit WIL 113 LED1 Error Code
No action on this for a few days as I was away. Fitted new pressure switch with new board and all seems well. Maybe that’s all that was needed……
Thanks to all for your responses.

I’m surprised, as the wires are very thin – I’d have thought the switch controlled a relay. I’ll have a look to see where I can get a new one then. Much obliged for your assistance.
Re: Indesit WIL 113 LED1 Error Code
OK… that may be why, on the info sheet with the board, EMW suggest changing module and pressure switch for this fault. Not mentioned on the phone though…..
Any way of testing the switch? Wouldn’t have thought it would be under much load.
Re: Indesit WIL 113 LED1 Error Code
That’s good to know, but I’m not sure it’s OK now. New board was a bit warm when I removed it. I did hear a noise, possibly a relay rapidly clicking in and out, but could just have been a vibration.
Pressure switch seems OK – contacts 1 and 3 zero resistance at rest, open when pressured, contacts 2 and 3 open at rest and zero resistance when pressured.
