I really like the flashing lights feature my Indesit sucked something into the pump and drain was lit up so was able to know immidiatly what was up unlike my previous machine
I had that problem yesterday 01/03/2022 with an Indesit washing machine, all leds flashing and found an emery board (nail file) stuck in the pump jamming it up, removed it and everything ran as normal on restarting. So check that the pump isn't jammed.
I've got one yesterday, similar problem. When tested dryer filament has failed. Replaced it. It's working fine. This machine has been running for the last 6 years. Good workhorse. This flashing lights are a common error indicator. Try to check: 1. Filter blockage 2. Motor brushes 3. Drum temperature sensor 4. Dryer Temp. sensor 5. Dryer fan 6. Dryer heater element 7. Door interlock All these above are easier. to test. Check the power supply cables coming to the door switch and to the dryer heater element. As these are not the best cables, insulation near the connector melts and may fail. If none of above are the case., Then it could be either the power board or the controller board. NB: Please ensure power is off before you open the lid. And, after disconnecting from mains, press the power button again (to discharge the power board capacitors)
Grandma's flashed for 6 years she had it for 12 years but it still worked fine it's something to do with one of the boards plenty of videos on TH-cam on how to fix it it's quite simple
For anyone sees this video and wonders what's going on, the machine is indicating F05 which is it's unable to drain or pump. Check the pump filter for blockages. The fan in a washer dryer will turn on in F05 mode, it's normal. If pump filter is not blocked chances are the sump is blocked with something. All lights flash when in error mode, and a multiple of lights will stay on. Them lights that stay on read an error code.
I ended up replacing the 25W drain pump that it came with with a stronger 45W one and it never gave me any errors after that. Where I live the mains voltage sags down quite a bit during the day and that reduced the pumping power of that weak 25W drain pump and it couldn't evacuate the water. I've never had problems after I replaced the pump with the stronger 45W one.
For some reason it was using the dryer fan. Which probably means that it was either thinking it was using the drying fan Or it was using the drying can. But pcb seems faulty
F1 (LED 4) This indicates that there is a short circuit in the washing machine’s motor, which could be potentially serious. An expert is needed to examine the motor.
First port of call is to see if the drain pump thingy is blocked at the front. Remove bottom plastic cover and unscrew black cap... Have a few towels ready it's a bit messy. Five 3in twigs removed and the machine seems OK. (Fingets crossed)
F01 while it shows on the fault list that it can be a motor fault, a pcb fault or heating element. It's always the heating element for F01, this tho is F05 so just blockages somewhere.
It says online that its due to the filter being blocked. I have the same washer dryer with the same issue. This is actually my 3rd machine in 3 years (same model) and every one has ended its life this way. My filter and flow pipe are clean as new… ITS JUST A CRAP MACHINE! After Christmas im ditching indesit forever. They want to charge me for each machine at the time of failure. It sometimes will start a program but then get stuck half way with all lights flashing. Plus, while theyre flashing i have to punch fcuk out of it to open
I agree with you on the indesits, I haven't found a good one, they seem to get faulty boards, and the build quality of the boards is pretty crumby, so it is easy to see why.
i think that pcbs cooked or it’s something to do with that. you could have a look at it and see if it’s ok, if there’s no sign of any issues on it it’s probably best fit for a brick
God be with the days machines were controlled solely by the mechanical timer, the Motor and pump were controlled by the timer directly and not some PCB that cost a fortune to fix if it fails, they lasted years longer than all this digital shite.
I got the same problem today. Googled it. It’s error code 15 means heater control issue. Water heater inside the machine is not working. This problem could happen for multiple things.. rather than repairing it, just order new Samsung machine. I used it for last 7 years. It’s time to say good bye.
Please remove the water waste running pipe after remove it put the washing machine upside down. There is some pipelines going through waste water. Every each pipe have to clean and back of the waste water drained need to clean.
When I turned on washer, I just noticed 'white flashes of light' coming from behind my washing machine. There were approx. 5 flashes of lights. What could possibly be causing it? It's an OLD washing machine.
I don’t like selling used machines to people that I don’t know. It is tricky when they call you a month later and say it is broken. I don’t mind giving them to friends
Flashing lights are failures. There are many faults with this machine. First your dryer fan / motor is busted.. u can hear it straining... The dryer its self has a broken heater The main control board has failed... its not communicating with the module at the back of machine.. will need replacing and re programming.. the motor triac defo has gone the motor brushes are fine, but the motor it self is defo failed... Scrap it ... rip the parts from it, because your bound to find another and be easy parts when u get another... its a shame cos its in good body condition, but u can see why it was tossed out, the cost to fix would be well over £300

And there is a tab at the long hatch at the bottom of the machine, you can pull the green tab and the door will
Immediately release.

I'm having the same issue as you as I put it on rinse but its just spinning with more water its wired
you must replace electrolitic capacitors 680uf, 100uf, 470uf in te main board

All 4 lights are flashing it is F15 not F05. 1+2+4+8=15
check for bulging capacitors on the the control module at the bottom of the machine, it's to the bottom left hand side, it's the main control board.
How will I identify the burlging capacitor
@@stephenifeoluwa8267It looks swollen (bulging).
For some reason it was using the dryer fan. Which probably means that it was either thinking it was using the drying fan Or it was using the drying can. But pcb seems faulty
Did you fix it. Mine is doing exaclty rhe same thing
Sunshine means drying...we inherited this exact model from a previous owner and it's too complicated to handle
thank you so much👍👍👍😍👍👍👍👍👍😍
Just a error code, could be motor however unplug it for a bit then try again
All flashing lights is a drain error as on on my indesit iwc71452 and hotpoint wml520 when it can't drain it shows as u like to call it crazy mode
While it could be an element there’s only 1 way to check tbh. Just put it on a cottons 90 and see if it heats. Then either it’s heater or pcb
You can check iz with multimeter
I have one, it's doing somethings similar, but without the water heating up, so I'm thinking in my case it is the element. Wish me luck.
Got the same washer mine just gone th same now it won't empty
Con mi lavadora tambien pasa eso también tengo una Indesit
Same problem my washing is just new then problem came is flashing and the water stack...
My red light is flashing next to the lock symbol what does it mean
F1 (LED 4)
This indicates that there is a short circuit in the washing machine’s motor, which could be potentially serious. An expert is needed to examine the motor.
What is an expert?
@@bootsowen maybe reffering to the Indesit Service people, definitely not experts though lmfao
@@bootsowen an expert that knows alot about motors
Chances that brushes are shorting (when they are connected to the pcb they may be both connected to one connector if not then its the windings
Please put me through how to examine the motor
Mine washing INDESIT machine is doing exactly like that. Please I need what to do? Is washing but not draining!
Hi, my washing dryer machine don’t take water for washing and the all lights flashing I clean everything filter my washing is indesit iwdc 65125
It’s a bit nonsense that is 😅that got me 😁🤣🤣🤣
First port of call is to see if the drain pump thingy is blocked at the front. Remove bottom plastic cover and unscrew black cap...
Have a few towels ready it's a bit messy.
Five 3in twigs removed and the machine seems OK. (Fingets crossed)
I have cleaned the drainage
How
Please explain to me what to do
Hello I have the same washing machine but my one is beeping and also making funny noise
according to the indesit website this is error F01, which is a PCB fault.
Pcb fault is no good
Motor pcb fault
F01 while it shows on the fault list that it can be a motor fault, a pcb fault or heating element. It's always the heating element for F01, this tho is F05 so just blockages somewhere.
How can it be F01 when all the lights are flashing. In binary that is 15.
I finally done it
How did you solve it?
Yeah it's the element for the tumble dryer yeah always do that on that ok
Hy Daniel, do u wanna help me with same problem !?
This machine is an absolute peice of junk. I had 1 in a rental and it had a mind of it's own.
La mia me a durado 13 años no es ninguna chatarra
Hmm ! This is the same problem I'm facing now😢
It says online that its due to the filter being blocked. I have the same washer dryer with the same issue.
This is actually my 3rd machine in 3 years (same model) and every one has ended its life this way.

@@bootsowen the parts on the control board are made in China.
it means f15 conderser for dryer you cant use the washer too
hy, where is this condenser located ?!
My washing machine is doing the same don't no what's going on with it
i think that pcbs cooked or it’s something to do with that. you could have a look at it and see if it’s ok, if there’s no sign of any issues on it it’s probably best fit for a brick
It's the PCB inside the washer next to the motor, very common error in Indesits, dunno how to fix it tho
↓↓↓ see my error code comment
I always used to see them do it all the time I don’t see it as much anymore mine hasn’t done this nor did my old one
@@danandlaundry i saw some do it, and also how to replace the motor pcb
God be with the days machines were controlled solely by the mechanical timer, the Motor and pump were controlled by the timer directly and not some PCB that cost a fortune to fix if it fails, they lasted years longer than all this digital shite.
Can we open the door when it is in spin mode and the cloths are in drying mode. How to open the door.?
I got the same problem today. Googled it. It’s error code 15 means heater control issue. Water heater inside the machine is not working. This problem could happen for multiple things.. rather than repairing it, just order new Samsung machine. I used it for last 7 years. It’s time to say good bye.
Why not repair? an element is cheap
Please remove the water waste running pipe after remove it put the washing machine upside down. There is some pipelines going through waste water. Every each pipe have to clean and back of the waste water drained need to clean.
?
I switch my indisit machine on but it doesnt actually show any lights fir about 10 minutes sfter power turned on ? Then theyre all flashing ?
Is it broken)
Just check the heater. Very simple.
hello, how could i check this heater, please?
Mine is flashing all lights with the lock light on and all 3h ,6h ,9h and 12h on what is the cause and possible solution
When I turned on washer, I just noticed 'white flashes of light' coming from behind my washing machine.
There were approx. 5 flashes of lights.
What could possibly be causing it?
It's an OLD washing machine.
Paranormal activity?
The bushes are gone and it’s sparking be careful.
mines not spinning does anyone know why its not?
How do i know if the water inlets valve is bad or faulty
Machine is probably gone by now, but seeing this video, PCB seemed to be nothing but toast.
Do you find solution? I have the same problem.
Your pump is broken. You have enough spare parts. Change it
I have the feeling that pcb Is gone this time, can you check It? I think it's the Power supply for the board, or it's Just the microcontroller gone.
It could be the brushes on it on mine it was the dryer and the brushes but it might be different on that one
mine one doing same idk why will try to spill all water
I have the same problem. You find the solution?
Someone tried replacing the pump and that worked for them.
Have you still got it I hope you can fix them then you can sell them 60 up to 120 pound quite a bit of money your mate couldn't you
I don’t like selling used machines to people that I don’t know. It is tricky when they call you a month later and say it is broken. I don’t mind giving them to friends
Pcb seems gone, I wonder if the dryer heats up on a drying cycle or will it do the error again or just blow cold air
I don't think so.
Hi May Friend can you help me please my Bush Washing machine lights are flashing and not starting?❤
the flashing usually indicates a fault, what lights and how many flashes show which fault, maybe google it.
Flashing lights r error codes just incase yk
interesting
Am confused
Flashing lights are failures.
There are many faults with this machine.
First your dryer fan / motor is busted.. u can hear it straining...
The dryer its self has a broken heater
The main control board has failed... its not communicating with the module at the back of machine.. will need replacing and re programming..
the motor triac defo has gone
the motor brushes are fine, but the motor it self is defo failed...
Scrap it ... rip the parts from it, because your bound to find another and be easy parts when u get another... its a shame cos its in good body condition, but u can see why it was tossed out, the cost to fix would be well over £300
How can you tell all that about the machine?
This is completely incorrect.
How the hell did you come to that.
Get it out of your life 😎 that’s what to do!
Indesit IWC81481
Brick it!! 👍👍 🧱
Brick I hear rumbling in the brick pile…
Nope.
Please don’t buy this washing machine everybody having same problem. I have a two washing machine same problems.
Give it what it deserves, a brick! 😹
No.
