Washing Machine Help Forum

Hi, first , i wish to say sorry, for me english gramma!:)
My indesit stick on washing cycle, its constanly fill water, make about 5-7 spins, and fill water again, again, and again. When i turn rinse program, its just rinse, when i turn on spin program, its just spin, and complite the program, but then turn back on 1hour washing cicle, its stuck again. Have you any advice for me ?

It may be a faulty heating element.

If you have access to a multimeter or meggar and know how to use one the you should remove the mains plug, take off the back panel and check the heating element.

First look for broken wiring and then test the heater for resistance. If it is open circuit then it needs replacing.

Just checked the heating element, and it's working, i checked pcb board, it looks in some places, like black dust. The board is not burned, but some patches are covered with black dust, is it make any sense? All connections look ok.

The black dust is often seen on PCB's, its not the cause of your problem.

Your initial description of the fault is a little unclear.

When you say it fills then stops then fills again does the water level appear to be coming to high up the door glass?

Its possible your outlet pipe plumbing could be at fault. It should go into a standpipe or connect to a sink waste that is well above the door of the machine.

If the outlet pipe is too low then it will be draining out as it is filling. Sometimes this can happen to a machine that has worked perfectly for a while. If the standpipe or the outlet hose is not secured it can drop down below the correct level.

I would be interested to know how you checked the heater was working

Well, its closet circuit on heater, i check with tester:) yes, its filed up, and drained out strait away. thanks for quick replay.

Thanks for help, mate, looks like it's waste pipe fell down, so, i secured it and it looks like working now correctly!

Result....glad to hear you sorted it.

Ups, yesterday I was too early celebrating about my wash machine! It's doing the same like before- waste pipe is lifted up and secured, but still filling up water every minute and it's level is not going up... By the way, there is one thing, wich maybe you should know - I moved the wash machine upstairs, to my bathroom and conected it to bath cold water pipe and bath waste pipe... The connection I did by self cutting taps... Have you got any ather ideas about that? Thanks in advance!

It still sounds like a plumbing fault, it might be a good idea to let a qualified plumber have a look at it. If you have connected it directly to the bath outlet without an air break then it may be siphoning out.

Also having a large electrical appliance in your bathroom is not the most sensible thing to do.

I use the self cuting waste outlet.
