How to eliminate and determine the error code of the Indesit washing machine
Household appliances manufactured by Indesit are popular among housewives. When malfunctions of the Indesit washing machine appear, errors appear. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with their description to find out the reason for their appearance.
How to determine the error code
There are four ways to determine error codes, which must be dealt with in advance.
By flashing indicators IWSB, IWUB, IWDC, IWSC
In these models of equipment, special LED indicators are installed that light up when certain programs are run or the tank is blocked. They also start flashing when malfunctions appear.
By flashing lights WISL, WIUL, WIDL, WIL, WITP
These models of washing machines are equipped with indicators located near the buttons for activating additional functions of the equipment. The appearance of malfunctions is accompanied by rapid flashing of the blocker lamp.
By flashing indicators WIU, WIN, WISN, WIUN
To find out the exact error code indicating a breakdown, you need to carefully look at the program execution indicators and the LEDs near the buttons for activating additional functions.
W, WS, WT, WI without display
These are the oldest models of pucks, which do not have a large number of indicators. They only have two LEDs that light up when the door is locked and the machine is on.
If the equipment breaks down, the diodes start flashing rapidly.
List of errors
Nineteen common error codes can appear when using a typewriter.
F01
Appears when the motor control theristor is closed, preventing it from rotating. Therefore, during repairs, the motor winding and brushes are inspected to identify the cause of the malfunction.
F02
The code appears when the rotation of the washing machine motor is blocked or the winding is damaged.
You will need to check not only the motor itself, but also its electronic module, as the problem may be in there.
F03
The signal appears as a result of the interruption of the sensor responsible for controlling the water heating, or due to the breakdown of the activation relay of the heating element. To determine the cause of the breakdown, the resistance of the heater is checked.
F04
The malfunction is due to the fact that the control panel simultaneously receives a signal that the tank is overfilled and empty. This can happen due to a malfunction of the pressure switch or the control module.
F05
The signal appears if it is impossible to drain the water from the filled tank. The reasons for the breakdown may appear due to clogged filters, drain pipes or liquid drainage channels.
F06
Such a signal occurs due to a malfunction of the buttons located on the control panel. To eliminate the malfunction, you will need to replace all the buttons or the control panel.
F07
Appears if the water inside the washing machine has stopped heating. We will have to check the performance of the electronic module, the installed heater and its circuits.
F08
The breakdown is associated with a sticking relay of the heating part or a malfunction of the sensor that controls the amount of water inside the system. We will need to remove the broken heating element and replace it with a new one.
F09
An error occurs if the electronic module programs begin to malfunction. To fix the problem, you need to restart the washer.
F10
The machine control unit cannot determine whether the tank is full of liquid or not. The problem appears if the pressure switch is faulty.

The problem appears due to a violation of the pump winding, which is responsible for draining water. The part cannot be repaired and will therefore have to be replaced with a new one.
F12
The signal appears due to the fact that the power and display modules have stopped seeing each other. Most often this happens due to a malfunction of the power part, but sometimes the indicator also fails.
F13
The error signals violations in the circuit of the electronic module, it ceases to recognize the water heating sensor. For this reason, the washer cannot heat the water in the tank.
F14
This code appears when the electric dryer stops drawing electricity. Only replacing the broken part will help solve the problem.
F15
It signals that the heated dryer relay is stuck, preventing it from turning on. It is necessary to disassemble the machine and make sure that the relay is faulty.
F 16
This error only appears for models with a vertical loading mode. It indicates a failure of the device responsible for the movement of the drum.
F17
The malfunction is linked to a fault in the device responsible for blocking the hatch. In order for the error to disappear, the blocker will need to be replaced with a new one.
F18
The problem is related to the failure of the control board. It is impossible to repair it, you will have to replace the control board with a new one.
H20
