Re: Indesit PWDE 8148 S, F15 Error code.

I had another look around this today, pulled the pump back out and tested it, cleaned it and checked the wiring, I checked for more debris, cleaned the pipework etc etc and could find nothing wrong with it.
I checked over the rest of the machine and found nothing obvious.
Time to get an engineer out I thought.
Because the machine is less than five years old it still has a free parts warranty and Indesit wanted 110 quid to come and fix it however for 13 quid a month they gave me a full unlimited warranty, so I went with that.
To reinstate the old insurance would cost less per month but it would have been 100 quid for a repair within the first 45 days so it would have ended up more expensive.
I will update this after the engineer has been and let you know what the problem was, fingers crossed the engineer will write the thing off, I can but dream I guess.

One thing I did find was a very blocked condenser, it still worked but not to its full potential, also the grille between the condenser and drum was badly blocked. This had caused an issue where the condenser mated to the fan/element housing and the plastic condenser had badly melted and no longer mates correctly or tightly to the fan housing so it will probably need a new one of those.

Re: Integrated washer dryer APM 8703/2

I had the same issue on my machine, there was a few coins and half a pencil stuck in it.
I had to go in from underneath the machine, remove the drain pipe and sump to pump pipe from the pump and remove the offending pencil from the pump body in order to free up the filter cover.
It might be worth a try.
