Indesit WIB111 will not drain despite pump replacement and hose/filter checks

The problem

Indesit WIB111 would not drain. The pump had been changed, the sump hose cleaned, foreign objects removed from the filter, and the kitchen drain checked. The user also reported red and green lights flashing. Other programmes reportedly worked when selected separately, but the machine still would not drain and would not go into fast spin with water present.

Likely cause

A remaining drainage fault was suspected, but the exact cause was not identified in the discussion. The accepted reply noted that the drum motor and drain pump are independent, and that the machine would not enter fast spin until the water had drained.

What fixed it

No confirmed repair was given. As the pump had already been replaced and obvious blockages reportedly checked, the accepted advice was that further diagnosis was needed and an engineer might be required.

Checks to try

• Drain pump replaced
• Sump hose cleaned
• Filter cleared of foreign objects
• Kitchen drain checked
• Flashing red and green lights reported
