Hi, don't know if anyone can help here,

I've got an Indesit W113 washing machine, its been fine - up til now.
When I used to switch it on, the power light would flicker briefly
before the programme started. Now it just stays on and there's no
action whatever - silence and the machine is inert, except the dial
rotated a bit once, but there was no pump or water or anything like
that. I've been told by a few repair people that it could well be the
power board, or the main circuit which costs £90, and that it's not
worth repairing as the Indesit W113 is a "bad machine" and has a host
of other flaws. Has anyone else had any grief from this make? I'd like
to have a crack at fitting a new circuit board/power board myself, any
ideas where I can get one? Is this throwing good money after bad? All
thoughts gratefully received!

Thanks in anticipation,

Best wishes,


Jonathan Elliott

It's not the W113 that's a bad machine, it's the fact it's an Indesit
that makes it bad. The Indesit machines aren't worth repairing. Cut
your losses and get a nice Bosch.

Its done the job ok so far, or you wouldnt be looking at repairing it.
They wouldnt profit by selling you another one by any chance?

It sounds like a relatively easy repair if you DIY it. Only do so if
you know how not to get lectrocuted etc.

You need to start by finding out whats wrong. Maybe youre not cut out
for this.
