Indesit Washing Machine

If your Indesit washing machine is not working correctly, you might find that a factory reset fixes the issue:

Factory Reset Instructions

Unplug (isolate) the machine
Turn on the machine “ON / OFF” button.
Set the timer control to a “Zero position”.
Plug the appliance back in and switch on the power supplying the machine.
The display lights should now flash.
Turn off the machine at the “ON / OFF” button.
Select the program required.
Turn the machine back on at the “ON / OFF” button.

Reading Error Codes

In order to read the fault code you must look at the flashing LEDs on the unit and then add the values for each flash together to get the final error code value.

Spin = 1
Rinse = 2
Wash = 4
Spin Option = 8
Quick Wash = 16

For example if the wash and spin option LEDs are flashing you would have a fault code of F12.
