Indesit WE 10 showing F02 after brief drum movement and fill

The problem

An Indesit WE 10 starts a cycle, the drum turns a few times and some water enters, then fault code F02 appears. Drain still works, but spin and other wash cycles do not.

Likely cause

The accepted diagnosis is F02 = motor jammed or tachogenerator detached. The strongest explanation given is that the PCB is not detecting impulses from the motor tacho coil, so it sees the motor as not running.

What fixed it

Check whether the motor is physically jammed and whether the small tacho coil on the end of the motor has come loose or detached from its retaining clip. The discussion also states this fault is not caused by worn carbon brushes on this model. No completed repair was confirmed in the thread.

Checks to try

• Observed that drain function still operates
• Observed that spin and other cycles do not run
• Check whether the motor has jammed
• Check whether the small tacho coil on the end of the motor has dropped off or is hanging loose
• Check that the tacho coil is held in place by its clip
