Indesit Iwde12 Help
Hi All
Have had a look through Several topics to try and diagnose my fault but none seem too match
Just wondered if anyone else had any ideas.
I have a Washer / Dryer combi Indesit IWDE12
It had done a cycle and when I came to take the washing out it was soaking wet, so put back in and tried to do a dry cycle but nothing would start.
Rang tech guys they said filter pump has gone so ordered new part and replaced.
Now when I turn machine on it lights up as normal
But if I try and start a wash cycle you can hear the door lock kick in but then nothing else happens?
If I try going onto a dry cycle to test that it just reset's and I have too power off or hold reset button in.
The door lock mech was replaced about a year ago.
Any ideas would be much appreciated as I'm a bit baffled as too what too look at next.
Many thanks
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 IWDE12 powers up and locks door but will not start cycle
- The problem
- Indesit IWDE12 washer-dryer completed a cycle but left washing soaking wet. After that, a drying cycle would not start. The drain pump/filter pump was replaced following telephone advice, but the machine then powered up normally and the door lock engaged on a wash programme without the cycle starting. Selecting a dry cycle caused the machine to reset.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is an open-circuit motor, most commonly due to worn carbon brushes. Another suggested possibility was disturbed wiring after the pump replacement or debris in the pressure switch tube, but this was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Accepted advice was that this symptom on many Indesit machines points to an open-circuit motor rather than a main PCB fault, with worn motor carbon brushes given as the usual reason. The poster was also advised to check for disturbed wiring after the pump change and clear the pressure switch tube. No completed repair was confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Replaced filter pump/filter pump part
- Observed door lock engages but no cycle starts
- Observed dry cycle causes machine to reset
- Advised to check wiring disturbed during pump replacement
- Advised to remove and blow through the clear pressure switch tube to clear debris
- Advised that there was nothing to check on the main PCB for this fault
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Filter pump
- Motor carbon brushes
- Pressure switch tube
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

On many Indesit washing machines an open circuit motor can cause everything to go dead. All the lights work and door locks but nothing happens. That's one possibility.

It seems a bit strange that fitting a new filter pump made matters worse? are you sure you didn't disturb any wiring?
You could also try taking the clear plastic tube off the pressure switch, which runs up the side of the drum somewhere. Blow down the tube as hard
as you can into the drum to remove any debris and try again.
Thank you for the replies I will open it back up and see if can find this pipe and clear it also will check wiring, when you say open circuit is there an easy way to identify this on the main board?
Many thanks
An open circuit motor is most commonly caused by worn carbon brushes. There's nothing to check on the main PCB board.
