My brand new Indesit washing machine BWD71453WUK was installed, however when it was plugged in all the lights came on and just began to flash. No other buttons are operational and you cannot do anything with the machine. The only way to get it to stop is to unplug.

Can any one help?

New Indesit BWD71453WUK powers up with all lights flashing and controls inoperative

The problem
A brand new Indesit washing machine BWD71453WUK was installed, but when plugged in all lights came on and flashed continuously. No buttons would operate and the only way to stop it was to unplug the machine.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says continuous flashing of all lights usually indicates a fault with the machine's software or hardware. No specific component fault was identified.
What fixed it
As this behaviour is not normal on a new machine, an engineer visit was advised. The thread does not confirm any repair or exact fault found.
Checks to try
  • Observed that all lights flashed continuously on power-up
  • Confirmed that no other buttons were operational
  • Machine only stopped when unplugged

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

Hello there. I presume an engineer is coming to look at it by now? This is not normal behaviour and usually when all of the lights flash it's a sign that something's gone wrong with the software and hardware running the machine. This is not something you would expect on a new machine at all.
