Indesit WD 12 Won't fill
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 9:52 pm
Indesit WD12 washer/dryer
When programme selected and start button pressed it doesn't fill with water. After 5 secs the programme dial just starts spinning endlessly.
There are no error code flashes, the red light stays on permanently.
There is a water supply to both hoses. The door lock works ok. I have checked the motor brushes and there is about 3/4 inch of carbon left on them. I had a look at the PCB, it is bone dry with no signs of burns or damage(I know it could still be faulty and very expensive !).
I am wandering if it is the inlet valve/solenoid that is malfunctioning. Is there any way of confirming this before I start purchasing spare parts.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
