Indesit Washing Machine Continuously Fills

It should last longer than 16 months so get the retailer to sort out the problem. Warranties are additional to your legal rights.

A common fault is that the air pipe to the pressure switch gets clogged with detergent residue. Clean it out the pipe and scale trap near where it goes into the drum. It might also be a leak in the pipe between the machine and switch - disconnect the bottom of ther pipe and blow gently in to it - you should hear the switch click. If you can continue blowing it is leaking and will produce the fault you describe.

by far the most likely cause. Can be very difficult to clear out if its blocked solid with scale: if all else fails, drill it out, though better to clean it if you can.

Gents,

Thanks for your replies this far. I have just checked the pipe and ca confirm that it is blockage, leak and hole free and that the switch i working.

Can anyone expand on Pete's translation of the 3 flashes: "3 flashes error code is "Temperature probe open/short circuit (machin may also fill and/or empty continuously)"

Or could it be somehting else?

Thank

The heater thermister is either open or shork circuit, or the wiring to it, the thermistor may be in the rear of the tub, in the heater fixing plate or if the heater itself has four wires to its terminals, within the heater itself. Check the wiring from the module to the thermister and measure the thermister itself with a ohm meter, good luck.
