Indesit W103 light flashing and no program starting

[gilltee]

Hi,

My washing machine is refusing to do anything today. When I turn it on, I just get the power light flashing quickly. I've tried a reset that I read on this forum (turn to full dot and hold power until normal flash speed), but it hasn't stopped it.

Any idea appreciated.
Thanks.

Does it lock does it fill does it spin if no check motor brushes.

It locks but doesn't fill or spin. I emptied it and check the drum would spin which it does. I filled it and check it would spin with a load - all good. I've reset it twice now but it just keeps blinking when I try to run a cycle.

Is there any water left in the drum after a spin if so filter could be blocked also check motor brushes

thanks for the tips. No water left in the drum so looks like brushes are the last option. Will find out tomorrow how to get the motor out to check - hoping for a quick cheap fix.
