indesit w123s UK problems
HI all,
my washing machine has developed a fault and I have basically narrowed it down to either the selector switch or the pcb, any advice please
Basically when I select a wash program it's doing strange things on some programs it starts to fill but then empties and the dial starts going round and round on other programmes it fills does it's wash but then won't move on to drain and spin cycles.
If I don't put it on a wash cycle but put it on a rinse or spin cycle it works as it should, this is what makes me think it's a problem with pcb or selector switch
Any advice please
Cheers Damon
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 W123S aborts wash programmes with dial continuously advancing
- The problem
- The Indesit W123S starts some wash programmes, then empties and the programme dial turns round continuously. On other wash programmes it fills and washes but will not progress to drain and spin. Separate rinse and spin programmes reportedly work normally.
- Likely cause
- A fault is being detected during the wash programme, causing the machine to abort and the timer dial to click/rotate continuously. The discussion does not confirm whether the selector switch, PCB, or another component is at fault.
- What fixed it
- No specific repair was confirmed. The accepted advice was that this behaviour indicates a detected fault but does not identify the exact cause on this model. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Observed that on some wash programmes it fills, then empties and the dial turns continuously
- Observed that on other wash programmes it washes but does not advance to drain and spin
- Confirmed that rinse and spin programmes work normally
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi, it could be various different things. When it aborts the program and the dial starts clicking round it's because it's detected a fault somewhere. More sophisticated washing machines will produce an exact error code but many basic washing machines just have this crude behaviour which tells very little other than something is wrong. Check these articles out for more information but you may need to get an engineer in
