Indesit Iwc6125 Won't Spin
Hi,
My Grans washing machine recently stopped working. It was in mid wash when we heard a bang & the machine stopped. The rubber seal looks to have come off & the machine wouldn't spin. It will spin by hand though. Does anyone know what could have caused this? Or how to have it working again?
Thanks in advance.

Indesit IWC6125 stopped mid-wash with bang and seal displaced
- The problem
- The Indesit IWC6125 stopped during a wash after a loud bang. The door rubber seal appeared to have come off, and the machine would not spin under power, although the drum could still be turned by hand.
- Likely cause
- A violent internal mechanical failure was suspected. The accepted reply noted that some Indesit machines can suffer drum faults severe enough for the drum to damage the outer tub, but the exact cause in this case was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No DIY repair was confirmed. The accepted advice was that the symptoms could not be reliably assessed from the description alone and the machine needed inspection by an engineer.

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If the rubber seal has come off it implies there was quite a violent banging. Some Indesit washing machines have a fault where the drum can burst through the outer tub because of a fault on the drum although that usually causes a lot of damage and usually whilst on spin. Unfortunately the causes and possible issues of those symptoms are impossible to assess or guess. You'd need an engineer to check it out.
