Indesit error signals

You turn on the washing mode, but nothing happens, and when you turn on the washing, the lock indicator lights up.

We check it ourselves and decide

  • Carefully inspect the cuff, it often happens that something prevents the hatch door from closing;
  • Often, especially in the country, there is not enough 220 volt power supply; the voltage should be at least 200 volts, so the washing does not start;
  • Open the washing machine door and check if anything has gotten into the door lock hole; it can get clogged.

We replace and repair

  • We check the control board and replace or repair it if necessary;
  • We check the hatch closing tongue and replace it with a new one if necessary;
  • Replacing the hatch locking device (HLD)
