Indesit IWDC6125 makes repeated water-jet noise during drying cycle

The problem

On an Indesit IWDC6125 washer dryer, a burst of water could be heard entering the detergent drawer roughly every 10 seconds during drying mode. Washing and drying otherwise worked normally.

Likely cause

Water intake during drying is normal on condenser washer dryers because it is used to condense steam, but the reported operation sounded abnormal because it was coming in short blasts rather than a slow trickle. The accepted diagnosis was a possible valve being briefly energised by a fault, with low insulation leakage or a PCB fault suggested as likely causes.

What fixed it

The recommended action was to have the machine checked by an engineer using a proper insulation test meter. The thread did not confirm a specific repair.

Checks to try

• Observed repeated short bursts of water entering the detergent drawer during the dry cycle
• Confirmed the machine still washed and dried clothes normally
• Compared the behaviour against normal condenser washer-dryer operation, where water should usually trickle in slowly during drying

Parts or tools mentioned
