HELP Indesit W143S - stops mid cycle & dial keeps turnin

[joooles99]

We've had a problems with our washing maching since we got it 4 years ago.

This morning it stopped mid cycle - done this before - so like before I started to empty the filter. After much water going everywhere, eventually came across a few coins an a twisted up pair of eyebrow tweezers!

So started the machine again, it went for a bit, stopped, then the dial keeped cliking round and round. Stopped the machine, turned the dial to the reset dial and switched it back on.

Went fine for 1/2 hour, but has now stopped again and dial keeps turning round and round.

I phoned Indesit they want 150 to come out and repair. Told them I'd rather buy a new machine!

Any idea what I should do before going out and buying a new one?

Yes the red light flashes. I've turned the machine off now as the dial just kept turning.

I didn't want to turn machine back on again for same thing to happen and there be even more water in the drum than there is now!

Let me know if I should switch it back on again to count the flashes!?

Thanks
