Indesit IWDC6125 will not start, LEDs lit and beeping
- The problem
- An Indesit IWDC6125 washer dryer would not start. The machine lit several LEDs and beeped, with the lock symbol showing red.
- Likely cause
- The strongest suggestion in the discussion is a door or locking-related fault, because the red lock symbol was present. However, the exact error code was not confirmed and the replacement door lock did not cure the fault. Delay start or child lock being activated was also suggested as a possibility.
- What fixed it
- Check the instruction manual and verify that delay start or child lock has not been selected. Check that the door and latch are operating properly. The door locking mechanism was replaced by the owner, but the fault remained, so the exact repair was not confirmed. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi. That's likely to be an error code but error codes are usually kept secret by the manufacturers. Some error codes are shown on the manufacturers websites, though the mostly just say to book an engineer.
With the lock sign showing in red it might be worth checking the door and latch are working properly and checking instruction book.

Reading on the internet, it is mentioned that for appliances that don't have an LCD screen, the error codes are presented in binary and read from bottom to top, if that is true then the code is 2^5+2^0 = 33. Searching on the web it is mentioned it could be the locking mechanism, I replaced it, but still the error. I'd appreciate any help in knowing what the problem could be in order to decide whether to buy another one, this one is just 4 years old and bought from new.
Hi, I don't recognise that method of working out an error code. They are indicated by which lights are flashing against a chart. eg. 1 and 4 = "????" A lot of error codes just aren't mentioned.
Check out the instruction manual and also double check that the delay start feature or child-lock isn't accidentally activated.
