Repair of malfunctions of the Indesit washing machine by yourself
Indesit washing machines, like any other brand, have their own design features. These features, on the one hand, give many models advantages over competitors, on the other hand, they cause typical breakdowns that consumers have to face. As part of this article, we will investigate typical malfunctions of Indesit washing machines and consider how to fix them with our own hands.
Frequent breakdowns
The vast majority of Indesit brand automatic washing machines cannot be called super reliable. Leading service centers in the world provided information on the basis of which it was possible to prepare statistics on the number of people contacting with breakdowns of washing machines. Based on the data presented in the graph below, we can conclude - cars Indesit is the most commonly breaking brand.. They find themselves in service centers in the first five years of operation more often than German and Korean equipment.
Why it happens? What are the most common causes of a malfunction? Based on the same statistics, we were able to significantly narrow our search and highlight a number of the most common causes of breakdowns of any Indesit washing machine models. These malfunctions occur in 78% of cases of contacting service centers. What breaks most often?
- A heating element. Ten breaks very often, and this is a common breakdown for all automatic washing machines. But in Indesit machines, the heating element consists of stainless steel without any coating (as, for example, in Samsung machines), so the scale deposits on it twice as intensively.
- Network filter. Also far from the strongest part in the Indesit washing machine. Sometimes even lots of Indesit machines with defective surge protectors come across. On average, such parts burn in the first 3-4 years of operation of the equipment. The benefit of the repair is easy to do with your own hands.
- Bearings. Moving elements of the Indesit washing machine do not break more often than similar models of competing machines, however, this breakdown still occurs quite often. Changing bearings is not a problem - the problem is getting to them. Therefore, in general, bearing repair can be considered difficult.
- Control block. This is truly the weakest link in all Indesit washing machines manufactured before 2012. In the latest models, especially those released in 2014-2015, modernized control units were used, which experts consider more reliable. However, they also need a fairly frequent repair.
- Motor sensor Another weak point of most Indesit washing machine models. The engines themselves are relatively reliable, but there are often problems with their electrics. More precisely, most often capacitors burn. Capacitor repair is not possible - just a replacement.
Note! We deliberately did not include contaminated filters, hoses, etc. into some of the most common breakdowns; these problems are characteristic of all washing machines, not just the Indesit brand.
Breakdown Search Algorithm
Before you start repairing the washing machine with your own hands, you need to find the cause of the malfunction. An independent search for a breakdown in the Indesit washing machine must be carried out according to a clear plan. Only in this case can one be more or less likely to count on success. Act in stages.
- If the washing machine has a display, pay attention to the error codes that pop up on it. The washing machine is designed so that in most cases it can itself diagnose the problem. Decrypt error codes your Indesit and draw conclusions.
- If there is no display or the machine does not give an error code, take a closer look and listen to the device. In particular, in the event of a bearing malfunction, the Indesit washing machine will operate very noisily, especially when the drum rotates at high speed.
- If there are no external signs of damage, you have to climb inside.The easiest way to remove the surge protector, but harder to get to the bearings.
- Take a multimeter and ring all the contacts, wiring and sensors for lack of power. Visually inspect all indoor units, a breakdown will certainly give itself away.
Important! Before disassembling the Indesit washing machine, examine its structure and the layout of the fasteners. For the sake of fidelity, photograph or film each stage of disassembly so as not to forget anything.
Damage to the line filter, motor sensor or heating element
Problems with the contacts of the line filter occur due to high humidity. Unfortunately, the manufacturer still has not solved the problem of their protection, so surge protectors often fail not because of a power surge, but because of banal condensation. Finding an Indesit washing machine surge protector is easy. It is located on the opposite end of the power cord from the outlet. You can dismantle it by removing the top cover of the washing machine and unscrewing one screw holding the device.
You cannot fix the surge protector, you have to change it. Yes, and this is not a problem, you can go buy a new one, put and put the machine into operation. But the trouble is, no one will guarantee that this new surge protector will work for a long time. We give a life example. Indesit, the desperate owner of the washing machine, contacted our service center and said that he changed the power filter three times on his own, but after 4-5 months it burned, and he had to install a new one again.
Checking the mains, network wire and contacts did not give any results - everything turned out to be normal. The technician, assuming that the problem was in high humidity, installed a new surge protector, and filled its contacts with silicone sealant, doing the same with all other suspicious contacts. As a result, the machine has been working properly for 1.5 years now - the problem has been solved.
Note! Before applying the sealant, dry the contacts, strip them and wipe them with a dry cloth, and then cover with a waterproofing layer.
You can talk about a serious problem if the capacitor on the engine of the machine burns. This problem is best eliminated with the help of a professional wizard, because only he can competently “diagnose” and correct such a mistake. Since this problem can easily be confused with a malfunction of the motor.
In contrast to the problem with the engine sensor, a malfunction of the heating element can be detected and repaired by oneself.
- In the vast majority of cases, the machine itself warns of a failed heating element, giving an error code F07
- If this does not happen, then we can understand that the heating element does not warm by indirect signs: the powder does not dissolve, the laundry does not stretch well, the hatch of the washing machine is very cold.
- Having determined the problem, we take a screwdriver and remove the back wall of the washing machine. In the bottom of the tank of the Indesit machine, we find two contacts sticking out of its wall - this is the heating element. We check the voltage with a multimeter. Unscrew the fastener in the middle, pull out the sealing gum, pull out the heater.
- If the ten is covered with a thick layer of scale and there are dark burning spots on it, it should be discarded - the ten is defective. Have to buy and put a new one. Installation and assembly are performed in the reverse order.
Problems with bearings or control unit
Bearing repair is the most difficult. The main problem is not even the disassembly of the washing machine, but the disassembly of the tank itself, because the manufacturer made sure that this unit was a complete structure and could not be repaired. But, as the saying goes, “a ruse for inventions is cunning,” the craftsmen solved this problem by simply sawing the tank in half along the weld.This is a unique and very correct solution, it allows, on the one hand, to get to the faulty elements inside the tank, and on the other, to save a lot of money.
You can replace the bearings of the Indesit washing machine using the information provided on our website. We note immediately that doing it yourself without a suitable tool and proper dexterity is quite difficult. But if you try, you will succeed.
Repair of the control unit of the Indesit washing machine in 90% of cases comes down to replacing the contacts. The control unit in typewriters of this brand is not well protected from moisture, which leads to contact with condensate. The contacts naturally close, and the control unit fails. In theory, it is not difficult to repair the unit, in practice you have to work pretty hard with a multimeter, ringing all the contacts in turn, and even not once, before you can detect a malfunction.
Faulty contacts should be replaced immediately. Stripping in this case is not acceptable. After replacing the contacts it is best to fill with sealant.
To summarize, we note that you can repair your Indesit washing machine yourself in most cases, but not in all. Therefore, to avoid even more serious damage, contact the master, especially if you do not have basic skills in repairing household appliances and are not confident in your abilities. In the end, everyone should do his own thing!

The machine erases, but only if you throw in some kind of easy thing. And if you load a few pounds, it does not pull. Designed for 6 kg.
It turns on, water is collected, it does not heat, it makes one revolution and that's it.
Indesit. The machine is 10 years old, has never failed, it worked perfectly. Now the problem: I chose the mode, the lamp of the first stage of the program lit up, the lock is closed - and that’s it. There is no water intake, no signs of work, just silence, maybe someone knows this problem, tell me?
Please tell me what is the reason? When starting, the controller constantly goes in a circle.
Hello, my machine worked well for 2 years, but for 2 days now it started to make a lot of noise with a squeal, it's scary! Tell me what you need to do?
Most likely the bearing failed. If you are lucky and the tank is collapsible, you can replace the part. And if, like everyone else’s, it’s not separable, then either completely change the tank (which is expensive) or find a craftsman who will cut the tank and do everything bypassing the services (they don’t do such repairs). And if your hands grow from the right place, then you can do it yourself. Here is the instruction: https://washerhouse.com/en/razobrat-nerazborniy-bak-stiralki/
The machine does not pump water, what is the reason?
