Indesit WIL163 flashing lights indicating a stored error

The problem
On an Indesit WIL163 washing machine, the door lock light flashed red continuously and the delay timer and stain remover lights flashed green. Power-cycling at the wall did not clear it, and the pump was checked with no blockage found.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says the machine is detecting an error condition. No specific failed component or exact fault code was confirmed in the discussion.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was that the flashing lights indicate the machine has detected a fault rather than a simple blockage. The exact repair was not confirmed in the thread, so the fault was diagnosed only, not documented as repaired.
Checks to try
  • Switched the machine off and on at the wall
  • Checked the pump and found no blockage

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