My Indesit WI121 programmer spins round then stops

frank1852 · 10 Apr 2010

Original fault was the machine had stopped halfway through a wash cycle. I cleaned the not-so-dirty filter and then set it going again, but then the programmer started to spin round without stopping anywhere. Thinking it was the programmer (it had got a bit "loose" in its movement), I ordered another one, but now it spins round and stops on "3". I took the load out and it now spins round and stops on the drain?

Should I drain and start all over again? Or is the spinning indicative of a deeper fault. The neon light does not flash at all, just stays on while the power switch is on. Help!

Put it on the black reset dot and wait for rapid flashes that means it's reset.does it drain out what part of the program does it do it

Put it on reset dot/bar and it flashed showing reset. Ahah, I thought, that may have fixed it. Put it on "3" to test for a new wash, but no movement whatsoever now, it just sits there taunting me........
