f11 code on Indesit W123S washer

[synthasandwich]

Hi All,

I've done a bit of digging and have found that the fault code is drain fault. I just wondered if it is simply the pump or whether it is the PCB board - just hoping there is a sequence of checks.

It stops when it should drain and flashes 11 times with the dial clicking around, we turn it off and by the end of the day gravity has drained it. At this point we set it to spin and it does a short spin and the clothes come out dry (ish. )

I'm just wondering if the PCB is missing the drain mode or if the pump has definitely gone.

Cheers for any help.

Mark.

Just clean the filter out and check the waste pipe.

Hi Rocks1

yeh, I just pulled out the filter and it was completely empty. Took off the waste pipe and blew down it with a clean mouth piece- blew straight through and clearish water out.

Does this leave the pump? Or is there anything else?

cheers

Fill it with water then put it on pump out does it pump out very fast. Is the pump wires connected to the back of the pump.when it's empty remove the filter and look at the impeller does it spin round.

Hi again,

The machine won't settle on the drain mode, dial just keeps missing it.
We're currently relying on gravity to empty the water.... wires are connected.

Wife just got home and thinks it's time to give over tinkering, machine is pretty old and looks like we're getting a new one.

Thanks for your help though.

Mark.
