What does this error code mean?
The door of the washing machine does not lock, there is no door lock
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)
