Indesit WIXE127UK Error

[acrybb]

Hi,

Firstly im new to the forum my name is Andy i have registered today as i have a problem with my washing machine. My washing machine as stated in the title is the Indesit Wixe127. Whats happening is that it runs from the start as normal. It then stops when its draining and flashes with a F-02 error. I looked up this error and it states that its a motor fault. As said the motor turns with no problems no strange noises and is nice & free. However the Drain pump motor is noisy and coincidently when this starts to do its thing this is when the machine faults out.

I have taken he top & rear covers off and checked that all connections are connected. I have taken the water pump motor out the fins are all good. However i noticed that the pump motor does not turn like a normal motor it kinda moves in 1/4 turns and is jerky and takes a little effort to overcome the jerkyness (not like lots of effort but its certainly not free).

I have found a replacement water pump online and was wondering if anyone can tell me if this could be the cause of my troubles.

Thanks for reading and for any advice you can offer
Andy

Nothing is wrong with the pump it's Surposed to be like that. Check motor brushes poss worn otherwise pcb is history.

Righty,

The lights on the front are flashing like disco lights that seems to be a common fault on that board according to EMW. It seems an easy fix as i have had it out and had a look etc. So that will be my first place maybe? Ill check the brushes in the motor does the motor need to come right out or is there easy access to them?

Easy to remove the motor just 2 bolts and a plug for wires.

PCB en route.

Was thinking while looking at the old PCB it has a wee bit of carbon dust on it like threads of it running between the various bits n bobs. could this cause a short?

 

[rocks1]

No , it's just static dust one of the components on the board has failed.
