Indesit IWD61450 Problems
Hello,
I wonder if someone might be able to help.
I have an Indesit IWD61450, not too sure how old it is but probably 4 years or so.
This morning I put a wash on, the wash finished fine and I decided to put it on it's top spin and left it. Soon after my electrics tripped on the RCD, I eventually put two and two together and realised it was the washer. I tried a few times to get it to work but each time it tripped.
So I was going to take out my clothes and dry them when I realised they were very very heavy, so I put in just a few and the machine completed it's spin.
I assumed the issue was because It had too much in it. I then put the wash on again and realised that afterwards most of the soap was still there and the clothes were sodden, my next attempt was to try the cycle again and this time the machine has turned off without tripping the rest of the electrics and won't turn back on.
I'm no expert, what do you think? Any ideas?
Thanks
Nick

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit IWD61450 trips RCD and then will not power back on
- The problem
- An Indesit IWD61450 completed a wash, but when a top spin was started it repeatedly tripped the RCD. A small load would complete a spin, but a later wash left most of the detergent in place and the clothes sodden. After another attempt the machine switched off without tripping the house electrics and then would not turn back on.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply points to a draining or pump-related fault as the strongest supported diagnosis. A pump fault or partial blockage could stop proper draining and may allow water to be thrown from the dispenser onto electrical parts, which could explain the tripping. It was also noted that an electrical component may already have failed and stopped the pump working, so the exact cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was documented. The accepted advice was that tripping or fusing faults are difficult or impossible to diagnose without a specialist insulation test meter. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Observed repeated RCD tripping during spin
- Observed that a smaller load would complete a spin
- Observed detergent left in the machine and clothes remaining sodden
- Considered possible pump fault or partial blockage as per accepted reply
- Parts or tools mentioned
- specialist insulation test meter
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Tripping or fusing the electrics is difficult or impossible to diagnose without a specialist insulation test meter - Washing Machine Tripping or Fusing Electrics
If there is a fault on the pump, that could cause water to get thrown out of the dispenser and run onto electrical parts. Or if there is a partial blockage in the pump the same thing could happen. It's not possible to guess whether the not draining the water out is because something electrical has fused and stopped the pump working - or whether the pump isn't pumping out water properly and that's caused the fusing.
