Indesit Error Manifestation Signals
You turn on the wash mode, but nothing happens, and when you turn on the wash, the lock indicator lights up.
We check with our own hands - we decide
- Carefully inspect the cuff, it often happens that something prevents the hatch door from closing;
- Often, especially in the country, there is not enough power of 220 volts, the voltage must be at least 200 volts, so washing does not start;
- Open the door of the washing machine and check if anything has got into the hatch lock hole, it can be clogged.
We replace and repair
- We check the control board, if necessary, replace or repair;
- We check the hatch closing tongue, if necessary, replace it with a new one;
- We replace the hatch blocking device (Ubl)
