All about repairing washing machines Indesit

“Indesit” washing machines, like any other equipment, are not immune from breakdowns. Their reasons can be different: factory defect, system failure, improper operation, careless attitude of owners, etc.

If your machine fails, you need to evaluate how serious the malfunction is and whether you can fix it yourself.

Typical breakdowns of Indesit machines

According to statistics, most often for washing machines of this brand the following components fail:

1. The heating element is the most common malfunction of any automatic washing machine. However, in units of the Italian brand TEN breaks more often, since it does not have a special coating. The presence of the latter protects the equipment from scale, which significantly extends its life.
2. The surge protector is a frequent breakdown of Indesit washing machines, which can be eliminated independently, without the involvement of specialists. Usually this item fails, 3-4 years after purchase. A common reason is factory defects.
3. Bearings - the complexity of the repair lies in access to these moving components of the washing machine. Often, “Indesit” aggregates have a soldered drum, which makes the process of replacing bearings very difficult. Here you can’t do without a master.
4. The control panel - a poor-quality unit of almost all Indesit models makes it very vulnerable during operation. This is especially true for Indesit washing machines manufactured before 2012.
5. Motor Capacitors - Electrical failure is a serious damage. When a capacitor is burned, its replacement is necessary.

Attention! Faulty hoses, filters, etc. are not included in our list, as they are not specific breakdowns of Indesit washing machines. They are inherent in units of different brands.

We fix the problem ourselves

We recommend that you repair the device yourself if the breakdown is not accompanied by smoke, burning, leaks, a blinking indicator and the appearance of a code on the electronic display.

Simple breakdowns include the following:

• It does not turn on - we check how tightly the plug is inserted into the outlet. Perhaps this is due to a lack of electricity due to power surges.
• Water does not accumulate in the tank, washing does not start - the reason may lie in a weak pressure. The hatch may be loose or the hose may be damaged.

Attention! If the wash cycle does not start, check if the delay function is disabled.

• Continuous pouring of water into the drum and back - the hose is not installed correctly.
• Strange sounds during operation of the Indesit washing machine - the problem is most likely related to the ingress of foreign objects into the drum.
• A lot of foam - detergent is incorrectly selected.
• Does not wring out - you should check the hose, maybe it is clogged or bent.

Attention! If the rinse water does not leave, see if the “no spin” or “no spin” functions are activatedeasy ironing”.

• Excessive vibration - most likely, the laundry has shifted in the drum, which the machine began to distribute correctly. The reason may also be in the incorrect installation of the device.
• The indicators work for no reason - a failure in the system, which is eliminated by turning it off and on again.

 

In what cases can not do without a specialist?

We recommend contacting a service center if:

• Indesit washing machine does not start;
• The washing cycle is broken, the machine itself changes the cycle time;
• Very loud noise: rumble, rattle;
• The drum does not spin;
