Indesit Iwd 7145 Problem Please Help
Hi i am new to the form so firstly hello!
Now, we have an issue with our indesit washing machine.
Usually we turn the machine on, set it for a spin and at some stage during whatever cycle it is working through it all cuts off. Leaving the wash sometimes soaked in water, other times half filled. It appears to be at random intervals.
I have checked the usuals, i.e. The filter which is all clear and clean, the outlet hose, again all clear and gave the machine a good clean throughout.
We found a temp work around in which if we set it to a cold wash it would usually work. However this is also failing now too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit IWD 7145 stops randomly during cycles, often leaving water inside
- The problem
- The Indesit IWD 7145 cuts out at random points during a programme. It can leave laundry soaked, with the drum either partly full or full of water. The filter and outlet hose were checked and found clear. A temporary workaround was that a cold wash would usually complete, but this later became unreliable as well.
- Likely cause
- No confirmed fault was identified. The strongest diagnosis in the discussion was a possible draining or pumping fault, but only if the machine stops specifically during rinses or spins, or just after it starts pumping out. If it also stops during the main wash cycle, that explanation is less likely.
- What fixed it
- No repair was confirmed. The accepted advice was to observe the machine through a full cycle, note the exact stage and timing when it stops, what it was doing immediately beforehand, and whether any lights remain on or flash. This information would help narrow down the fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Filter checked and clear
- Outlet hose checked and clear
- Machine cleaned through
- Observed that cold wash had been a temporary workaround
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

The symptoms are unfortunately too random to get a strong idea of possibilities. The fact it usually has water inside implies a pumping problem but this should only be pursued if it only ever stops on rinses and spins. If it does it during the wash cycle (apart from right at the end when it needs to pump the wash water away) it can't be. You need ot literally sit down and watch the washer and take not of exactly what it does with times and exactly what it was doing just before it stops - then when it stops what happens (any lights on, flashing?)
That way an engineer can try to work out the main suspects. If it always stops just after it's started pumping the water out for example then it's definitely an emptying fault somewhere - won't pump out the water properly
