The washing machine is broken, and I'm trying to fix it. It's giving an error code in the form of an LED that blinks 10 times, but I can't find a reference for the error codes for that particular model anywhere. Mum's itching to buy a new one, but I'm hoping I can get it running again and save her £800 on a replacement.
What model is it? I can see if I can pull anything up here.
An Indesit WD12X washer-dryer. Indesit list error codes for various models
here, but it's not clear which codes apply to our model. We have one that lacks a LCD screen, so the blinking LED is the only thing I have to go by.
It might be a 'No cold fill' error, and the machine isn't filling with water when it's switched on, but I've checked the hot and cold hoses, taken the water input assembly apart, cleaned the filters and individually tested each of the solenoid valves by manually activating them with a hose, plastic bucket, crocodile clips and 240v AC, and everything works fine. There might be something wrong with the power supply or control circuitry for the solenoids, since I picked up some odd readings with the voltage drop across one of them, but I've not investigated it in greater depth yet.
Other possibilities are 'Short circuit motor triac' or 'Pressure switch not sensing correctly', but 'No cold fill' still seems the most likely at this point.
