This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit W103 noisy during drain cycle
- The problem
- An Indesit W103 washing machine had developed a worsening unusual noise only when draining dirty water. The machine still spun normally and removed the water fully.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is a drain pump issue: either the pump itself is faulty or, more commonly, there is an obstruction inside the pump catching on the impeller. A bra underwire or similar small object was suggested as a typical example, but this was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Check the drain pump for an internal obstruction and inspect the impeller area. If no blockage is found, the pump is the likely faulty component. The exact repair carried out was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Noise occurs specifically when draining water
- Machine still spins normally
- Machine still drains all water
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
