About installation location and connection

If you previously had an automatic washing machine and instead purchased a new Indesit WISL 102, then there will be no problems with the installation location or with the connection. But if you purchased an automatic washing machine for the first time, you should equip a place for it in accordance with the following requirements.

The installation location of the washing machine must be free from interior items and there must be a convenient approach to it.
There should be nothing in front of the washing machine hatch.
Within 1-1.5 meters from the machine body there should be connection points to all necessary communications.

The place where the washing machine is connected must be equipped with: a moisture-resistant electrical outlet, a tee tap embedded in the water pipe, a siphon with an outlet for the drain hose.

The floor under the machine body must be level and strong; there should not be rugs, rugs, carpeting, etc. laid on it.
The gap between the machine and surrounding objects must be at least 1 cm. Between its back wall and objects - 10 cm.

Let's start connecting our new machine. For the Indesit WISL 102 washing machine, the manufacturer's instructions describe this process in some detail, so we will limit ourselves to only the general procedure. And if you also want to learn the nuances of such a connection, read the article Installing and connecting a washing machine with your own hands.

First, remove the shipping bolts, plug the holes for them, and then drag the washer to a previously prepared place. We align the body, disconnect the inlet hose from the mountings, insert the O-rings and screw one end of this hose to the water inlet of the machine, and the other to the tee tap. Make sure the connections are tight enough.

Next, connect the free end of the drain hose to the siphon outlet. The drain hose must not be pressed together; it must be bent so that sewer odors do not penetrate into the washing machine and a “siphon effect” does not occur. Connecting to the mains is simpler, just insert the power cord into the socket and you can do a test run.

Dispenser device

The powder tray of the Indesit WISL 102 washing machine has a rectangular shape, a convenient protrusion that you can grab to remove it and push it back. There are 4 compartments, 3 of which are stationary and one mobile, removable. What is the purpose of these compartments (numbered from left to right)?

The first compartment is needed for soaking. The instructions for the indesit WISL 102 washing machine call it a pre-wash compartment. In principle, this is the same thing, only our version is clearer.
The second compartment is used for the main wash. Everything is simple here, I wanted to wash it as usual, poured the powder into the second compartment and wash it for your health.
The third compartment is needed to pour air conditioner into it. The conditioner will make things soft and pleasant to the touch, and they will also emit a wonderful aroma.
The fourth compartment is not permanently in the dispenser. It is installed, if necessary, directly in compartment number one. This compartment is needed in order to activate the whitening mode.

For the WISL 102 machine, the instructions for use indicate that compartment No. 4 should not be left inside the dispenser during washing, unless you are going to turn on the “bleaching” mode. In other cases, it will interfere.

Installation without errors

Only a master can install the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine quickly and professionally. Preferably a specialist from an authorized service center. But if you carefully read the instructions, then you have a chance to do it no worse, although it will take more time.

Improper installation of the Indesit washing machine can cause breakdowns that will be impossible to repair without a professional.

Let's start by unpacking the washing machine, checking it externally and removing the transport bolts. We will not describe this in detail, especially since we have already done this as part of the publication Instructions for the Indesit WISL 82 washing machine. Let’s install the washing machine. Immediately before installing the machine, it is necessary to seriously prepare the place for it.

Remodel the floor so that it becomes stronger and smoother, remove all soft coverings.
Move the surrounding interior items apart so that the machine stands up and there is still some gap left.
Invite an electrician to make a new socket for the washing machine. We take a moisture-resistant socket housing, a copper wire of 1.5 sq. mm, difavtomat per phase, grounding is required.
Make an insert into the water pipe and install a tee tap or install a similar tap directly between the inlet and the mixer.
Install a siphon with the ability to connect the drain hose of the washing machine, or organize a sewer pipe outlet.

As soon as you manage to prepare everything, feel free to drag the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine into place and start connecting it. When moving the washing machine, be careful, because it weighs a lot, it is better to get someone’s help.

Remove the hoses from the special fasteners and straighten them. Avoid creases and kinks. We install rubber seals on the inlet hose, and then screw the hose on one side to the body of the machine, and on the other to the tee tap.

The pressure in the water supply must be sufficient, otherwise the machine will not function.

We screw the drain hose to the siphon and secure the connection with a clamp. Check the integrity of the power cord and plug. If everything is fine, you can connect the machine to the power supply for the first time and check its operation.

Where should I put the powder?

When you turn on the washing machine, do not rush to press any buttons. First, let's get acquainted with the powder receiver device. If you load detergents correctly, the quality of your wash will increase noticeably. The powder tray consists of four compartments.

The first compartment is necessary for pre-washing. If you do not turn on the mode that provides pre-wash, you should not pour powder into compartment No. 1.
The second section is universal and very popular. In most cases, powder or gel is placed in it, because this is the compartment for the main wash.
The third compartment is not intended for powder; conditioner is poured into it.
The fourth compartment can be removed and put back. In most cases it is not required, so it is removed and put aside. As soon as you need to start the bleaching mode, put this compartment in compartment No. 1, and then pour bleach into it.

There is a regular bleach that is designed for durable fabrics and delicate ones. The scope of the latter is somewhat wider.

How to start a wash

For the WISL 102 machine, the operating instructions describe how to launch the “home assistant” as follows.
First we turn on the machine. If all the indicators light up for a couple of seconds and then go out, and the power light blinks, then everything is in order, the machine is ready for use. Article on the topic: How to remove the relay from the compressor of a Samsung refrigerator

Next, load the laundry. By the way, the first time you need to wash it without laundry, so that the insides of the machine are washed from the factory dirt, and then everything is as usual. Using the mode selector, we determine the washing program we like. Turn the “Temperature” knob to set the desired water temperature. Open the dispenser and add powder, and if necessary, also add conditioner. Next, “key to start” in the sense, press the Start button, and, as they say, you can wait until the machine does the rest for you.

Washing machine care

An Indesit brand automatic washing machine is too useful a household appliance to just throw it to the mercy of fate. It, like any other equipment, needs to be monitored and looked after, otherwise sooner or later it will let you down.

When you finish washing, take a dry cloth and wipe all the rubber bands, the inside of the hatch door, the inside of the drum and the powder receptacle. There should be no excess moisture.
After finishing washing, do not lock the “home assistant”. For at least the first 2-3 hours, the hatch and dispenser should be open for ventilation.
When you finish washing, always turn off the water and unplug the power cord from the outlet for your own safety.
Clean the powder tray, debris filter, and fill valve flow filter at least occasionally. Read about how to clean the filter in an Indesit washing machine in the article of the same name.

Well, here we have outlined the shortest version of the instructions for the washing machine of this model. We hope that its provisions will be clear to you, and you will not make typical user errors, and accordingly, you will not have to repair the machine. Good luck!

Washing equipment maintenance

When operating the machine, do not forget about caring for it. At the end of washing, it must be wiped with a dry cloth.

You can also first wipe the device with a cloth soaked in soapy water. But cleaning products should not be used. Then you need to wipe the control panel, rubber cuff, and drum.

Next you need to pull out the washing powder tray. This is easy to do. You need to lift it and gently pull it towards you. Next, you should wipe the area under the powder receptacle and rinse the tray itself.

After cleaning, the tray is installed in its original place. It should be left slightly open for ventilation. The hatch door should also not be closed completely. Every six months, remove the drain filter and wash it.

After each wash, the machine must be disconnected from the power supply. And don't forget to turn off the water. This will protect the device from voltage surges and pump failure.

transport bolts

Then the equipment must be placed on the floor, which has been previously leveled and reinforced. The distance between the place where the device will stand and communications should be less than 150 centimeters. It is also necessary to provide a grounded socket for the machine.

The following sequence of actions must be performed:

Install the device near the place where it will be located in the future. Take the curved end of the inlet hose and screw it to the outlet of the washer.
In the place where the inlet hose connects to the tube, a rubber gasket must be laid. It will ensure the tightness of the connection. The fitting washer is screwed on by hand, without the help of tools. Don't tighten it too much.
Straighten the drain hose. The top drain point should be at a height of 65 to 100 centimeters. To secure it, you can use the latches located on the back of the machine.
Push the washing machine into the place prepared in advance for it. We should not forget about the gap between the interior items and the side walls of the machine. It should be at least one and a half centimeters. The gap at the back should be 5-7 centimeters to avoid damaging the hoses.
Extend hoses to sewer and water supply. The inlet hose must be connected to a cold water pipe. The drain hose is connected to the outlet in the siphon. Use a clamp to secure the hose.
The power cord is located on the back of the device. Before you push the washer in, you need to pull it out. It is prohibited to use tees and extension cords to connect the unit to the electrical network. It is advisable to install a voltage stabilizer.

When connecting washing equipment to communications, it should be taken into account that the inlet and drain hoses cannot be extended by more than 150 centimeters. If extension is required, you must contact the service center. It is prohibited to use old hoses for these purposes. Violation of connection rules can have serious consequences. And the manufacturer in this case is not responsible, regardless of whether the machine is under warranty or not.
