Washing Machine Suddenly Stop on Wash Cycle?
Hi,
I need some help my washing machine has stopped working. What happens is i set the temperature and the machine spins a couple of times before it suddenly stops? It doesn't lose power or anything it just completely stops after a few spins. Any ideas what it could be? It's an indesit washing machine and it's pretty old.
Thanks

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit WG1033T stops early in wash cycle with water left in drum
- The problem
- An older Indesit WG1033T starts the wash, turns a couple of times, then stops without losing power. When opened afterwards, the clothes are soaked and there is excess water left in the drum.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly suggested diagnosis was a draining fault, such as the machine not pumping out properly. One earlier possibility raised was no water fill, but the report of water remaining in the drum makes poor draining the better-supported explanation. The exact failed part was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Check for a blockage in the pump filter if fitted, and also consider a drainage/plumbing restriction. In this thread it was then noted that this older machine may not have a pump filter, so no confirmed repair was documented.
- Checks to try
- Confirmed that water was present in the drum when the machine stopped
- Pump filter was suggested for blockage inspection
- It was observed that this model/age of machine may not have a pump filter fitted
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Does it take in any water? If it can't take in water it will stop.

Hi,
When the machine stops and we open the door the clothes are soaked in water so i am guessing it does. There is even excess water in the machine that we have to get out with a cup.
Maybe the fault is that it can't pump out the water properly. Have you checked the pump filter for blockages?

Where exactly is the pump filter located? I don't know if this will help but the model number of my machine is - Indesit WG1033T.
It's always at the front of the machine at the base Washing Machine Pump Filter
There are other things that can cause the water to not drain properly too including the plumbing Washing Machine Won’t Drain Water

I've looked on the front of the machine at the bottom but i can't see any cover that looks like you can take it off? The only thing i can see on the right hand side is a small cover with 4 screws around it and two bolt types in the middle of it. Please see the image in the URL below:
Thanks
That looks like an old washing machine. It doesn't look like a pump filter is fitted. What make and model is it? Do you have the instruction manual for it? Not all washing machines have a pump filter.
