Someone has accidentally pressed some buttons and locked you into test mode.
To get out of it you need to press start, the display should go daft. Press start again and the display should settle down. Now press the on/off button and the start button at the same time and hold them down for a few seconds until the display shows d-end or d-off.
Your machine should now work.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

My list for nearly all of the Indesit (Hotpoint, Ariston) washers suggests there is a fault with the motor triac, the bit that controls the motor speed, sorry ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

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.

F08 means Heater relay stuck: check pressure switch, heater & module connections..

List of the Error Codes I found on another site. I'm getting f04 light 2 (the "wash" light). Looks like you've got the opposite problem with your pressure switch stuck on full (f05).

f01 light 4, motor triac
f02 light 3 motor, jammed/ tacho
f03 lights 3&4 Ntc fault
f04 light 2. pressure sw stuck on empty
f05 lights 2&4, pressure sw stuck on full
f06 lights 2&3, N/A?
f07 lights 2&3&4 heater relay
f08 light 1. heater relay
f09 lights 1&4 eprom/setup error
f10 lights 1&3, pressure switch not sensing
f11 lights 1&3&4, pump/draining error
f12 lights 1&2, communication error
f13 lights 1&2&4, dryer ntc/ fan motor
f14 lights 1&2&3, dryer heater
f15 lights 1&2&3&4, dryer heater relay
f16 N/A
f17 light 4, door lock
f18 light 3 comms error (3 phase motor) power board

F02 and F08 are 2 completely unrelated problems.
F02 indicates motor problem, and F08 indicates a problem with the heater circuit, the relay is not energising, possibly due to a faulty heater or themistor.
Would advise you call a qualified repair technician.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

F08 is - Static heater relay with contact welded closed.
The door might had been opened with the dryer not cooled.This leads to a heat relay.

This has happend to me today! this is the fix

1. Press and hold the Start/Cancel button until message clears
2. Now press both Start/Cancel and On/Off buttons together until you get a dOFF message
3. now your machine should work OK

check your water supply to the machine is of adequate pressure . this is the sign when the machine is not getting enough water
