Indesit IWE 7145 Internal Cleaning Cycle
I have an Indesit IWE 7145. There is supposed to be a special internal cleaning cycle which as I recall is quite a long one - 2 hours or more. All I can recall is that on starting it, one presses the two left hand buttons on the Display panel.
Unfortunately I didn't mark the web page when I found this a few weeks ago.

Indesit IWE 7145 query about internal cleaning cycle
- The problem
- The owner of an Indesit IWE 7145 wanted to find the machine’s supposed internal cleaning or maintenance cycle, believed to be started by pressing the two left-hand buttons and to run for over two hours.
- Likely cause
- No fault with the appliance was described. The discussion supports that the issue was uncertainty about the correct maintenance-cleaning procedure and whether a dedicated cycle exists on this model.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to carry out a maintenance wash by running the machine empty on its hottest wash programme, 90 or 95 degrees, with detergent added. If the model has a specific maintenance-cleaning cycle, it should be confirmed in the instruction book. The exact button sequence for a dedicated internal cleaning cycle was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Check the instruction book to see whether this model has a specific maintenance wash cycle.
- Run the hottest wash cycle available, 90 or 95 degrees, with detergent and no laundry.
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Detergent
- Instruction manual

Normally you would just put the washing machine on its hottest wash cycle (90 or 95 degrees) with detergent in but no laundry to do a maintenance wash. If there is a specific maintenance wash cycle it should be described in the instruction book. If you haven't got the instruction manual try here to download user manuals
