Safety 1st Prograde Front Loader Washer/Dryer Lock

Product Information

As you release the end of the hose, the water should start to drain from the machine. If the machine was full, you might find that you need multiple containers to completely drain it. Unscrew the top and lift it off. You should be able to see the catch on the door from the inside, and you can push this to release the door.

If the machine drains, you have solved the problem! Once it has emptied and finished the cycle, you should then be able to open the door. Indicates that the Indesit washing machine has considered the wash load to be excessive or unbalanced. We would recommend removing the clothes, redistributing the load evenly and retry the spin cycle to resolve this. You can also take a look at our guide to domestic appliance repairs to find out the average costs for a range of jobs, as quoted by Which? Trusted Traders from their years of experience. If the culprit still can't be found, you run the risk of it slipping between the rubber seal and the metal drum and fall into the surrounding plastic tub. Items that don't get washed down into the filter can be flung about violently by the drum's rotation, especially during the spin cycle.Overloading – if you try to squeeze too many items in one wash, you could be left with no clean clothes at all. Overloading means the clothes can't move around the machine, dirt can get trapped between items of clothing and it leaves little room for the detergent to disperse. Now, inspect the drain hose. Typically attached to the waste trap under the sink, the drain hose will be connected via a spigot. To fix this problem, turn the machine off at the mains, and wait for five to ten minutes. After waiting, the machine should reset, and you should be able to open the door as normal. Many of our newer Indesit washing machines have a series of indicator lights, which flash to indicate a possible fault. The most common are: If the power to your washing machine won't turn off then your standby button may be faulty. But if the wash cycles won't stop and instead continue after every spin, then it's probably down to the timer or control board.

Turn off and fully unplug your machine before you do anything. If your machine is mid-cycle when it starts to play up, follow advice in the instruction manual for stopping and draining it. Another possible culprit could be the water inlet valve. This electronic valve controls the filling of the water. If the valve is faulty and doesn't close during each cycle once the water is at the appropriate level, it will overfill. Washing machine noise problems Why is my washing machine so noisy? Door damage – If the door, handle or latch has any damage this could cause the machine to cease opening. Inspect your door before calling out the repair man. Most front-loading washing machines are designed at the standard dimensions of 85cm high and 59.5 to 60cm wide. And most kitchen cabinets are also designed to accommodate this size.The timer will signal to the machine when to move to the next phase of the cycle, while the control board will signify what program to use. If either of these is damaged or worn, the machine may continue to run until it's manually stopped. Both parts can be replaced, but the latter should be done by a professional.

If the leak is slightly smaller and coming from the front, this could be the washing machine door. The seal around the dome can become worn with age, resulting in leaking and/or condensation, but it's easily replaceable. My washing machine is overfilling Drive belt – Find out if the drive belt is the root of the problem by opening the door and trying to spin the drum. There should be some resistance – if the drum turns easily then the belt might need replacing.A burning smell coming from your washing machine can indicate a potentially dangerous situation. Immediately turn off the machine and unplug it. Most modern washing machines will display an error code on the control panel if there's a problem with the heating system. You can then search for this error code along with the make and model of your machine to find a fix. Indicates that your programme dial has been moved from its original position. Simply returning the wash dial to its original position will restore the light to its original status. A common problem in washing machine pump filters is caught debris, such as lost coins, hairpins, or pieces of plastic.
