Indesit Error Manifestation Signals

Stops spinning the drum during the program, stops, or does not start washing at all.

We check with our own hands - we decide

• If the drum spins, try unplugging it for half an hour, so the washing machine will restart.
• Unplug the washing machine and try spin the drum inside hand, if the drum does not scroll, a foreign object may have fallen, for example bone from a bra.
• When opening the washing machine, make sure that the hatch from it is in place, if this is not the case, then most likely it opened during washing and blocked the drum

We replace and repair

• We check the control module of the washing machine, in case of malfunctions, we replace or repair it.
• We replace the hatch blocking device if it is not operational.
