• No spin - wrong choice of washing mode or reasons described in the article “Why the washing machine does not wring out the laundry»;
• Increased vibration of the machine during operation of the centrifuge - uneven arrangement of erasable items in the drum, improper installation of the legs, touching the device to the wall;
• The Start / Pause indicator is constantly on, all other actions are impossible - the electronics are hanging. It is necessary to completely de-energize the unit and wait a few minutes, then restart it.

With the following symptoms, the repair and troubleshooting of a washing machine may have to be assigned to a workshop serving the models of this brand.

When a wizard call is required

Causes of malfunctions requiring specialist intervention:

• There is power supply, but no washing is done - damage to the plug, electric cable, door lock relay or breakdown of the control unit;
• Non-conformity of the washing cycle to the set mode - the reason may be hidden in the electronics unit, a breakdown of the water or temperature sensor is also possible;
• No heating - an open in the ten supply circuit or burnout of the heating element itself;
• Extraneous sounds during operation - wear or contamination of the drum seals, loosening of fasteners, bearings are out of order (do-it-yourself bearing replacement for the washing machine);
• Lack of drum rotation - belt breakage, drive problems, electric motor malfunction. There may be a malfunction in the electronics where reprogramming is required;
• Water is not poured or drained - clogging in the supply and drain filters to the sewer, valve breakage or pump malfunction, internal wiring is damaged;
• No spin - speed sensor does not work, breakdown of the mode off button, electronics;
• Puddles form around the washing machine - the sunroof is worn out, poor-quality hoses and pipes, mechanical damage to the tank is possible;
• The operation of the protection, the smell of burning wiring - a short circuit in the electrical parts of the device, the combustion of ten.

Features of repair of washing machines with a vertical loading method

The main difference between a vertical washing machine and a horizontal loading machine is in the drum mount. Its basis is two cruciform supports. Such a construction greatly complicates disassembly and requires a lot of time.

At the same time, two sets of bearings in the drum drive guarantee a long service life without significant damage.

Otherwise, Indesit vertical loading machines have the same types of malfunctions as are typical for other types of washing machines.
