Indesit Washing Machine Probs W1435

[Grinch]

Can anybody help? Model W1435 The machine is 18 months old & has very light use. The problem is that it stops part way through the program and the dial just continues to go round. The repair man after talking to Indesit has replace a circuit board - no cure. On his second visit he replaced a chip but said that he did not think that it would cure the problem. He has also given back the original cheque paid for me to hold ad the repair is incomplete. I fear that he does not really know what to do now!!

Does anybody know anything about these machines.

My usual advice to anyone with an Indeshit machine is sling it. I have delivered numerous machines that don't even work 'out of the box', your 18 months is quite an achievement. I don't know anyone else in the appliance trade that rates Indeshit at all. Sorry, but thats the way it is. ..

I've had 3 Merloni dishwashers and I love 'em. Before you ask, only the one had any problems: a broken door lock. I prised it open with a crowbar, which made it work again, but I decided it was far too old and scratched, so parted with it, ensuring I bought the closest model I could find, as it had excellent cleaning and drying performance, much better than any previous dishwasher I'd owned or used. This second one sold with my last house. My new house now has the fully integrated version.

The first and third ones were Ariston, the second Indesit. The makes are indistinguishable from each other, except the branding. The Indesit instructions were actually Ariston, with the brand name blatantly tipexed out and photocopied, except that they missed a logo on one of the diagrams!

My mum's had an Indesit washing machine for over ten years. Still going strong. She wants to replace with a Miele, but is waiting for something to go wrong with the old one first.

Heard the phrase 'they don't make 'em like they used to'! ..
