Indesit Wa155 - Programme Selector Not Indexing To Selection
Hello, My Indesit WA155 programme selector turns but does not click/ratchet into the various positions but it does seem to be selecting the appropriate programmes and I get the rapid flashes when it is switched on in the various positions. It then seems to move around as the cycle progresses, but just doesn't click into them.
I assume the mechanism is just worn but it went suddenly which doesn't really follow - any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Is it still selecting and running the proper programmes?

Yes, but there is no resistance on the controller (doesn't index into position).
It's strange, but it were me I'd leave it and keep fingers crossed it keeps working. I would imagine that's what the vast majority of people would do.
