We repair the washing machine Indesit do it yourself

The Indesit brand has been operating in the market of Russia and the countries of the former USSR for many years. Products of the company are distinguished by reliability and quality. But, despite the thoughtfulness of the design and the relative ease of replacing susceptible components, users often ask how to repair the Indesit washing machine. The devices of this brand have features that make some, let's say, troubleshooting difficult or impossible. But most breakdowns are fairly easy to fix with your own hands..

Cases when repair is impossible or irrational

There are cases when independent repair of Indesit washing machines either does not follow or it does not make sense. We list the common options:

1. The warranty period has not expired. Do not resort to repair if the sensors of the machine indicate a malfunction of the control unit. It is necessary to call the master or take the device to the workshop for troubleshooting.
2. The design of the drum washing machine Indesit does not imply disassembly. Service center will change it completely. Such a failure is not included in the warranty repair, and its elimination costs a lot of money. But it is worth going, if there is no “at hand” master with golden hands, who will brew a thin-walled tank or cut out and replace the damaged zone.
3. Repair of the control unit costs to charge qualified master.
4. All devices Indesit assembly Italy, Turkey and some other countries provide for the replacement of bearings. But you should know that you can encounter a model whose repair is of this class. not provided. A failed bearing implies a device’s journey to a landfill and the purchase of a new washer.

The electronic and mechanical part that characterizes the Indesit technique is literally the embodiment of reliability. Breakdowns are rare, but nothing is eternal. While the warranty is valid, you can be sure that the service will eliminate any malfunctions.

It is worth noting: even if you have the skills to repair electronic equipment, repairing the control system of a washing machine should be entrusted to a specialized workshop. The cost of the service will not be much higher than the price of parts on the retail market, and time savings are noticeable.

Features of the electronic part

There are a lot of complaints to the control unit of the styrake Indesit. More online instructions describing faults and repair of electronic parts. The main feature of brand control units (by the way, they are fairly standardized and their identical systems are used everywhere, for example, on the WITL 86 and older models) is the need to carefully read the instructions and provide the machine with the necessary power supply modes. Distinctive features of the control electronics are as follows:

• high sensitivity to sudden voltage drops;
• automatic protection systems that are triggered by any discrepancy of parameters;
• sensitivity to high humidity or ingress of water.

Electronic control module washing machine Indezit

But to the credit of the company, the control units extremely reliable. Automatic protection stops the machine.However, restarting is simple: you need to eliminate the inconsistency of the parameters or simply re-select the desired program. Washing will continue without problems, while most models support starting from the middle of the cycle.

There are also many complaints about the reaction of washing machines to the inlet water parameters and its drainage system. For example, models of vertical orientation require exceeding the discharge point of the fluid by 60-80 cm relative to the sewer drain. For this, there is even a hose mount on the housings. To provide this mode, you need to read the instructions. But there are many cases when the car literally explodes with foam when trying to remove water and fills the internal electrics.

Control Panel Indication

Many models of Indesit provide light or alphanumeric indication of the error. This is useful information that allows you to understand, call the repairman for washing machines, or carry out troubleshooting yourself. For example, on models with an indicator there is a list of errors, in particular:

• F01 speaks of a short circuit of the drive power circuits.
• F03 indicates the absence of information from the temperature sensor.
• F07 sends a signal that during the water supply the tank fill sensor does not work.

Error codes on the Indesit display

In these cases, the answer to the question of how to repair a stopped washing machine Indesit with their own hands is quite simple. It is necessary to check the absence of moisture on conductive circuits, the reliability of contacts, the absence of oxides, filter clogging, and the presence of strong contamination. Other indications of the indicator indicate that you need to resort to qualified assistance. For example:

• F04 - lack of data from the liquid level sensor, replacement is necessary.
• F02 - no tachogenerator readings, possible problems with the engine or control module.
• F09 - the error of the memory chip of the control unit, is eliminated only by replacement. Requires qualified repair of the washing machine Indesit.

This short list lists only some indications of indicators. A complete list can be found both in the documentation for the device and in specialized forums. Similar to the alphanumeric letter, there is LED alert. For example, in machines of the WITL series, where diodes are on the buttons of additional functions and the lower indicator:

• the flashing light of button 4 indicates a fault in the contact groups, engine or control unit as a whole;
• The lamp of button 3 indicates a mechanical blocking of the engine or the absence of a tachometer signal.

These light indications will allow you to understand whether it is possible to carry out repairs with your own hands or whether you should call the master.

Such information is very useful and can significantly reduce the waste of time and money. It is possible to control the cause to some extent and estimate how much the repair of the Indesit washing machine costs in this case.

Simple faults and troubleshooting methods

Very light cause-effect chains are given in the documentation for the washing machine. Let us dwell on those that are not often repeated, but are easily eliminated with their own hands:

1. Wash does not start or water does not heat up. Requires replacement of heating elements. It is done simply, the item is available at retail.
2. No drainage of water, automatic stops washing. The first thing to check is the filter clogging accumulation of large residues. The second is to do a cleaning of the output hose, check the drainage system.Electronics, as mentioned above, reacts very sharply to the parameters of fluid motion. Usually after carrying out such a repair, the user remembers that it is necessary to do periodic maintenance of the machine.
3. Some Indesit washing machines suffer from accumulation of fumes on the reels of the surge protector. This fault is eliminated simply: the elements are cleaned with a dry cloth and a brush with a long nap.
4. Any water or condensation in the control unit stops operation. To continue the machine is to dry or disassemble and wipe the electronic board. In any case, the presence of water often does not lead to disastrous results, it is considered almost normal mode.
5. The problems of the lid lock and control knobs are solved by cleaning, and are mechanical. Occur due to salinization and accumulation of soap deposits.
6. Over time, drum dampers wear out in washers. Increases noise and vibration during spinning. These items are easily replaced by yourself.

In general, the Indesit typewriters are reliable and unpretentious. If you carefully read the instructions,properly connect them to the mains and sewage, to ensure the recommended operating parameters, the device will serve for a long time, pleasing with reliability and efficiency.
