HI,
We have a Indesit Innex Washer Dryer,
We dont use the Dryer side (takes too long)
Just on the cycles that are more than an hour about 20 mins in to the Cycle the Error code come up F01 and flashing lights.
With some research Indesit say switch off, then after 2 minutes , restart.
But back to the error code.
Also have tried the Clean Cycle, very strangely it filled up with foam!
45 min Quick cycle works fine along with rinse and spin options.
Have checked the pump, all fine there.
Just cant get past the Error code!
Any help very Welcome!

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit Innex washer dryer shows F01 on longer wash cycles
- The problem
- An Indesit Innex washer dryer ran the 45-minute quick cycle, rinse and spin normally, but on programmes longer than an hour it stopped around 20-25 minutes into the wash with F01 and flashing lights. The clean cycle also reportedly produced foam. The pump had already been checked and the machine was said to fill and drain normally.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply said F01 indicates a motor triac fault, with possible causes including a motor fault, poor electrical connections, or a fault on the PCB chip. The repeatable failure point during the drain stage was noted, but no conclusive component-level diagnosis was confirmed in the thread.
- What fixed it
- No repair was confirmed by the original poster. The accepted advice was that this did not sound like a straightforward DIY fix and would likely need further diagnosis of the motor circuit, wiring connections and control PCB by an engineer.
- Checks to try
- Pump checked and reported as fine
- Machine fills and drains normally
- 45-minute quick cycle works
- Rinse and spin options work
- Fault occurs consistently about 20-25 minutes into longer wash cycles, during or around the drain stage
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello there. When you said you found that the advice for the error code F01 was to turn it off two minutes, did that advice also state what the fault was caused by?
All mentions of F01 that I (and I have to admit my information is quite old now), say that F01 is a fault on the motor triac, and could because by a motor fault, poor connection fault, or a fault on the chip inside the PCB. Maybe the "turn it off for two minutes" advice is based around a suspect that something is overheating. But if this was the case you'd need a lot longer than two minutes for it to cool down. It doesn't sound like something you could try to fix yourself.

Does it stop when it’s fully drained or does it stop as soon as it starts draining or half way through? If it stops after it’s fully drained, then does it run on for a minute or so after the water has gone before stopping?
listen out, and you can hear the water going down the drain, and can hear when it has pumped out the water because the noise of the pump changes as it starts pumping air.
