The information I have is that on an Indesit washer dryer, the first, second and fourth lights flashing indicate error code F13, which is "Drying failure: Drying NTC failure or possible motor fan jammed". The NTC is a thermostat filled with temperature sensitive crystals.

There is a little more (only general information) about NTC's on Washerhelp Search for NTC
