Hoping someone can help me. I have a 6 year old ISE 10. Put a wash on last night and it stopped half way through full of water with fault F1 flashing. I know that the company has gone bankrupt and as such my 10 year warranty is worth nothing but I need to get it fixed. Don't want to get just anyone and pay £150 or whatever only to find they can't get parts or not repairable. Help please does anyone know of a repair person who is familiar with ISE in the Glasgow area. I have kids and no way can I live without a washing machine for long. Is it fixable or is it ready for the bin. Its also full of water and too heavy to lift.

Hopefully someone knows a solution.

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.

ISE10 stopped mid-cycle full of water with F1 flashing

The problem
A 6-year-old ISE10 washing machine stopped halfway through a wash, remained full of water, and displayed fault code F1. The owner was concerned about repairability and parts availability because the manufacturer had gone out of business.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says F1 on many washing machines is commonly linked to a filling or draining fault. The strongest suggested cause in this thread is a blocked pump filter or something blocking or jamming the pump, but this was not confirmed on the appliance.
What fixed it
Recommended action was to check the instruction manual for the F1 meaning and inspect the pump filter/drain fault area. The advice also stated that if it is a filling or draining fault, a local engineer may be able to repair it. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
Checks to try
  • Observed F1 fault flashing
  • Machine stopped mid-cycle full of water
  • Check instruction manual for F1 meaning
  • Check pump filter
  • Consider draining fault or filling fault

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

It could just be a blocked pump filter. Check these articles out

Washing Machine Pump Filter

Washing Machine Won’t Drain Water

The first 2 errors on most washing machines (eg. - F1 and F2 or E1 and E2) are usually related to filling or draining faults and are almost always mentioned in the instruction manual. Check it out.

If it's a filling or draining fault any local engineer might be able to fix it - especially if it's something blocking or jamming the pump which is the cause of 90% of not draining faults. Other than that try the UK Whitegoods forums for someone who will look at an ISE washing machine. Many of the people that used to sell them are in there.
