Indesit or Hotpoint washing machine flashing 8 times or displaying error code F08 usually indicate "Heater relay can't be activated" or "heater relay stuck".
The heater relay on these machines (as at time of writing) is on the pcb, the main control board at the back of the machine. Sometimes they can get jammed, and freed with a gentle tap. Other causes of this fault listed are "check pressure switch, heater & module connections". Therefore this isn't an easy diy fix and if you don't know what a relay is or looks like it's best to get in an engineer for this fault.
Some descriptions on various models also still say "heater relay", or "heater relay can't be activated", or "heater relay stuck", but also add, "check pressure switch connections for heater, wiring and module connections".
F08: Heater control or NTC (Thermistor) temperature sensor problem. hope this helps. also turning off at plug for 5 mins then turning back on might solve it if does not then it is the sensor problem. best thing to call engineer or get new machine if dose not work. hope this helps.
Error code F08 indicates that the heater relay cannot be activated.
Check all connections to the heater, the pressure switch, and the module, make sure they are all secure.
Hopefully , this will cure the problem
Good luck.
F08 normally indicates heater relay stuck, contact could be welded closed, therefore the relay cannot be activated,
This problem unfortunately means you will have to call an engineer, as it is not something you vcan fix yourself.
You can try thumping the top of the washer, it may release the stuck contact, but it is likely to occur again.
Plz rate my solution.
