Instructions and manual for Indesit WISN 81 in Russian

It is difficult to imagine a modern apartment without a washing machine. This invention has become a reliable assistant for housewives who can simply load laundry, set the required washing mode and start the device, after which all the work will be done automatically. However, like any equipment, the device is not immune to breakdowns. Indesit is a washing machine whose malfunctions can be easily fixed with your own hands. As with any home appliance, delays in repairs can lead to more damage.

Malfunctions and their elimination

The algorithm of actions for troubleshooting depends on the reasons that led to the breakdown.

Rinse or spin mode does not turn on

Reasons why the machine may not perform a spin cycle:

1. Spin mode is turned off. You should make sure it is turned on.
2. The equipment cannot spin if the pump or drain hose is clogged. It is necessary to check their operation and make sure that they are functioning properly.
3. Overloading the CM may block the spin function to prevent excessive vibration. You should check that the device is not loaded above the acceptable level specified in the user manual.
4. If the spin function does not work and the water does not disappear after the rinse cycle ends, the drain hose may be clogged or kinked.
5. Burnt tachometer and other malfunctions.

The SM does not perform the rinse mode most often for the following reasons:

1. Excessive or improper use of detergents. For example, this is the use of rinses intended for hand washing, or the incorrect use of other softening agents, which lead to the formation of excess foam during rinsing or detergent residues on fabrics. In this case, it is necessary to check the quantity and type of rinse aids.
2. Problems with the engine, water level sensor, drain system, control module and other elements.

Water is leaking

During washing, the machine can consume water at least twice, since each cycle includes the washing process itself, as well as rinsing the laundry. Depending on the type of mode, the number of water drain cycles may increase, which is normal. However, in the case of a clogged sink, the device may accumulate an excessive amount of water because The SM will not be able to remove water from the tank. Electronic controls can malfunction, which can cause water to leak.

When the sink is clogged, in addition to increasing water consumption, the load on the main parts of the machine also increases, which causes their premature wear.

Other reasons may be cracks in the drainage device, damage to the surface of the tank, etc.

The machine does not turn on

After loading laundry into the drum and connecting the plug to the socket, the machine does not start, the indicators do not light up, and there is no program selection. There are several reasons:

• the socket is disconnected from the power source;
• the power button does not work;
• cable damage;
• internal damage.

Another reason may be a failure of the electronic control module. The repair consists of restoring it or replacing the control unit.

Diagnostics depending on the SM model:

1. Indesit Wisl 102. If the Indesit Wisl 102 machine does not start, it is recommended to check the operation of the sensor.
2. Wisl 103 and Wisl 105. If it turns on with an error, experts first of all advise checking its engine.
3. Indesit Wisl 82. It is necessary to look at the operation of the hatch, valve, and pump.
4. Indesit Wiun 81. The control unit, engine, electronic system and other elements are checked.
5. Witp models. The reason may be hidden in the control module.
6. Wisa 81. It is necessary to look at the engine, module and electronics.

Reasons why the SM may turn off during washing:

1. Water supply is turned off. You need to check that the water tap is open.
2. Errors in operation that can occur if the machine does not drain water for some reason. In this case, it is necessary to check the operation of the pump and drain hose.
3. Voltage surges.

Blockages

If the drain filters are clogged, the SM cannot remove water from the drum. You need to check the drain hose for blockages. Problems are eliminated by cleaning it. To do this, you need to turn off the machine and disconnect the rear hoses. If the filters are clean, you need to check the water supply valve.

Lubrication and replacement of bearings

One of the most common causes of failure is damage to the bearings that support the rotating drum.

The cause of failure is a long service life, improper installation of the device or constant overload of the drum. The bearings are located in the internal reservoir, with their help the machine drum rotates. Thanks to the lubrication of the bearings, the friction of the metal elements is reduced and the rotation speed of the drum increases.

Replacing an Indesit CM drum bearing is a complex and lengthy process. To do this, the device is completely disassembled, after which damaged parts are replaced.

Problems with the control module

The control module is the basis of the entire SM electrical system. If the control module fails, self-healing is not recommended. Without the skills and knowledge, repairs can only make the situation worse, which can only lead to deeper electronic repairs. The problem can be resolved by contacting the user to the workshop.

Motor fault

If a short circuit occurs, it may cause the motor to stop running. In this case, you need to do the following:

1. Make sure that no moisture has entered the connector.
2. Check the contacts to ensure they are not damaged (including corrosion).
3. Check the operation of the control module and replace it if necessary.

Errors in operation may be caused by a malfunction of the SM motor. Other reasons may be brush wear, bearing wear, breaks in the stator and rotor windings and damage to other elements.

Replacing shock absorbers and dampers

Repairing and replacing these parts is a challenging task. To gain access to the parts, it is necessary to remove the drive belt, electric motor and other related elements.

Worn shock absorbers create increased noise, vibration and power surges during operation.

To improve the situation, they are replaced with new ones. To do this, disconnect the device from the network, disconnect the water supply, and remove the drain and inlet hoses. Drain the remaining water through the filter, remove the tray, unscrew the screws, disconnect the rear elements and the drive belt. Remove all cables connected to the motor. Then - the engine itself, after which it becomes possible to get to the shock absorbers.

Pump repair

Another reason for device failure is a problem with the pump. If it malfunctions when diagnosing the Indesit machine, the error will be displayed on the display - F05.

During repairs, disconnect the equipment from the power source and carefully drain the remaining liquid. Then the pump is removed, damage is repaired or damaged parts are replaced with new ones.

Water supply problem

Actions:

1. The water inlet filter needs to be checked.
2. The washing device may not draw water if the DEMO option, available on some models, is turned on.
3. Make sure that the drain hose is not compressed during installation of the CM.
4. Check the operation of the piping system. The valve or hose may be damaged.

Poor supply of washing powder

To diagnose the problem, the plumbing system, pressure in the pipes, blockages in the washing powder dispenser and other elements are checked.

Indesit washing machine error table

Almost all Indesit SM models have a diagnostic system integrated with an electronic mechanism, which allows you to display the error code of the Indesit washing machine on the display. This makes it easier to diagnose, locate and troubleshoot problems. The device has the ability to inform the user about any errors in Indesit using light indicators. Depending on the nature of the failure, the corresponding Indesit electronic error codes will be displayed on the display. If the SM model does not have a display, malfunctions are determined by the blinking of the lights.

Let's look at the main error codes for Indesit washing machines in the table.

Indesit is a device that can be easily repaired even after the warranty period has expired. However, it is better not to do repairs yourself if you are not sure of the cause of the breakdown. In this case, it is better to seek professional help.

For more complex malfunctions of Indesit washing machines, their elimination should be carried out by specialists, these are the following situations:

• unstable operation of the SM;
• the appearance of randomly shining light bulbs on the screen;
• water leakage;

Tips for car maintenance

The Indesit WIUN 81 washing machine is programmed for automatic washing. The manufacturer has tried to ensure that the user can wash the item comfortably and not waste time on servicing it.

However, according to the instructions, you should follow these tips:

1. Shut off the water. After each wash, it is recommended to turn off the water so that the main pipes dry out. You should also turn off the power to the machine so that no electricity is supplied to it. This is done for device security purposes.
2. Wipe down the machine. Once the spin cycle is complete, it is recommended to take some time to clean up. To do this, open the hatch door and apply detergent. Using a sponge, it is important to remove all plaque that remains after washing. At the end of cleaning, it is recommended to wipe the hatch with a dry cloth. To avoid an unpleasant odor from the machine, the manufacturer advises not to close the door, but to leave it for ventilation. The air in the drum will be conditioned.
3. Clean the cuvette. To do this, you will have to slightly lift the powder receptacle and pull it towards you. Next, apply a cleaning agent to the cuvette and leave it in a container of water. Then the powder receptacle is cleaned and placed on a towel, where it should dry completely. All this will help prevent mold from appearing.
