Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit WIXXE 127 may need a programmed main PCB after door lock burn damage
- The problem
- The Indesit WIXXE 127 stopped working. The door lock and its wiring connector had burnt. A replacement door lock and connector were obtained, but the machine would still not lock the door, although the door lock indicator LED could be made to come on.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is a failed main PCB. The accepted reply adds that some replacement PCBs are supplied unprogrammed and may require manufacturer technical information or software to programme them.
- What fixed it
- Replace the main PCB if confirmed faulty, but be aware that the replacement may need programming. The discussion supports that fitting the board itself is possible, but programming may require manufacturer-specific technical information or software. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Door lock found burnt
- Wiring connector/loom to the door lock found burnt
- Replacement door lock obtained
- Replacement connector for the wiring obtained
- Door lock indicator LED comes on
- Door still does not lock
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Door lock
- Wiring connector/loom connector
- Main PCB
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Anyone can replace a main pcb, but if they are supplied "unprogrammed" as some are, you need technical information to programme it. It's possible you need software to do it as it's becoming increasingly common for manufacturers to control these things.
