Indesit Wil123S Wont Start

Thanks for the update, as an engineer you learn you can never assume any replacement part is immune from being the cause of a fault - even brand new - but of course naturally we suspect other things first. Glad you sorted it, I've no idea why you decided to replace all 3 instead of the control panel first - glad you aren't my surgeon

Thanks for the reply Andy - As I mentioned I had sourced used front panel+pcb,main pcb -sold as fully working- and new door lock. Me not knowing what the problem really was just fitted the three items and crossed my fingers it'd go - but it didn't.

I decided to interchange the items with the originals one by one as an elimination process, lo and behold it transpired the replacement main pcb was faulty and the original was fine as the washer is now functioning, in the process the original lock was put back and that was fine too, seems the front panel+pcb was the problem all along as the original wouldn't light up,but the replacement now does.

It was an interesting adventure that eventually came to fruition. I also got a refund for the faulty main pcb.

Regards
