Indesit Evolution 1400 showing F12 communication fault

The problem
The washing machine displayed error code F12 and the door stayed locked until the machine was switched off. After powering back on, the F12 code remained. The corrected model given was Indesit Evolution 1400.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states F12 is a communication error between the display board and the main PCB on most Indesit fault code lists. This is a supported diagnosis, but the exact failed part was not confirmed.
What fixed it
The only suggested action was to check the wiring/connections for anything obviously loose or damaged. No confirmed repair was documented. If no obvious connection issue is found, further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Checked whether the code cleared after switching the machine off and back on
  • Check connections between the display board and main PCB for anything obvious

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

F12 is a "communication error" between the display board and main PCB on most Indesit error code lists. You could try checking connections for something obvious but otherwise not much you can try.
