Indesit iwc 6085 not working
I recently changed the interlock as it was shorting out, but now the w/m starts and after a few seconds stops. eg, if I set to spin, machine will spin a few times then stop, if I set to rinse, the inlet valve will open for few secs then stop.!There doesn't seem to be any fault code showing, I've tried different programs, turning off and on, unplugging etc..nothing changes. My guess is the previous short has damaged the pcb.
any ideas?
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 IWC 6085 stops after a few seconds after door interlock change
- The problem
- After replacing a door interlock that had been shorting out, the Indesit IWC 6085 starts a selected programme but stops again after a few seconds. On spin it turns a few times then stops; on rinse the inlet valve opens briefly then stops. No fault code was reported.
- Likely cause
- The discussion suggests a door locking/interlock issue is the strongest supported diagnosis, specifically whether the replacement lock is actually locking the door. PCB damage from the earlier short was mentioned by the owner as a possibility but was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to check whether the door can be opened immediately after the machine stops, to confirm if the door lock is engaging properly. Speculative PCB replacement was discouraged. No completed repair was confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Checked for fault code; none reported
- Tried different programmes
- Turned the machine off and on
- Unplugged and retried
- Advised to check whether the door can be opened straight after it stops to confirm the door lock is locking
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Door interlock
- PCB
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Yes it's a possibility that something got damaged but it would be risky to speculatively replace a pcb. It's strange for it to work for a few seconds though. When it stops can you open the door straight away? In other words is the door lock actually locking the door?
