Indesit IWDC6125(UK)
Hi!
We've just moved into a new build flat which has an Indesit IWDC6125(UK) washer dryer.
We were trying to run a cycle first before we used it but it doesn't seem to be working.
The Start/Pause button goes orange and the lock light flashes red and it beeps.
Also, the door seal has the hole pictured at about 2pm on it. Not sure if this is normal or not.
We've turned the machine off at the mains for 5 mins and restarted it but no joy.
Any ideas, are we being incredibly stupid or should I contact Indesit?
Cheers!
Dave

Indesit IWDC6125(UK) will not start; lock light flashes red and machine beeps
- The problem
- A newly moved-in Indesit IWDC6125(UK) washer dryer would not begin a cycle. The Start/Pause light turned orange, the door lock light flashed red and the machine beeped. The owner was also concerned about a hole in the door seal.
- Likely cause
- The hole in the door seal was identified as the normal vent opening for the dryer function, not a fault. The strongest suggested cause of the machine not starting was that the water supply to the appliance was not turned on properly. This was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Check that the water supply to the washer dryer is turned on correctly. Also check the instruction manual to confirm the machine is being operated correctly. A spin-only cycle was suggested as a comparison check because a water-fill problem should not affect spin in the same way. No completed repair or final fix was confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Observed Start/Pause button turning orange
- Observed door lock light flashing red with beeping
- Checked the machine after switching it off at the mains for 5 minutes
- Identified the hole in the door seal as a normal dryer vent opening
- Advised to check that the water supply is turned on properly
- Advised to try a spin-only cycle
- Advised to check the instruction manual

The picture shows the vent hole for a washer dryer. That's where the hot air is pumped into the drum on a drying cycle. It's normally at the 12 O clock position though. If the washer dryer was in the flat you would expect it was working OK so check that the water is turned on to it properly. If it isn't taking any water in it won't work. However, if the problem is related to water it shouldn't be affected on a spin dry cycle so check to see if anything happens on spin only cycle. Other than that check the instruction manual to make sure you are using it correctly. If you don;t have it you can hopefully download one here Washing machine instruction books and user manuals
