Hi, the lights come on but machine wont do anything. Is there anything i can check before calling an engineer?

Hi Dee.
You may have a kinked drain hose or a problem with your pump check the link below section 3.3 (problems with these machines)
Good luck,

Check your catalytic converter could be plugged.it would build pressure in the exhaust pipe and wont let it rev

hi what part of the inspections? emissions? normally if you have the engine light on and you have high emissions, this is normally due to a bad o2 sensor, but that's just a guess, you will be better off getting the code read on a diagnostic's machine to find out what the error is, the belt can and can not have things to do with it, if the timing was out that would have an effect but if the vehicle is running ok then i very much doubt that will be anything to do with it but like i said if timing is out it will...hope this helps

Faulty Scanner Exposure Lamp ( the light that scan your originals from under the glass)

If your a technician type then the troubleshooting steps would be to check that the engine control board and image processor board connectors are seated correctly.
Make sure the machine is just not in a cold environment.

Then in order replace:

Scanner Unit (contains the scanner lamp)
Engine Control Board
Image Processor Board

Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

Obviously the first thing to check is that the socket is supplying power by plugging another appliance in such as a lamp. It is less likely to be the socket but you'd be daft not to check it out before calling an engineer as it does occasionally turn out to be a faulty wall socket. This is only necessary though if there are no led indicator lights lit up on your washer as any light that's on shows that the machine is getting a live and neutral supply from the socket.
The second thing to check is the fuse in the plug. Either put the fuse into something else and check the appliance still works or try another fuse that you know to be OK in the washer. Make sure you use a 13 amp fuse and never by-pass a fuse! If both of those are OK, then the most common cause for a washing machine that wont start is the door interlock, particularly if the mains lights on the washing machine has come on, but nothing works. However, the fault could also be in wiring to the door interlock or even the door catch not activating it properly, or the on off switch or the main control module. With some Indesit and Hotpoint washing machines even an open circuit heater or motor can cause the entire washing machine to stop working except the led lights.
You need to know what you are doing to trace this type of fault so if it isn't the wall socket or the plug you'd be better getting an engineer to trace it. Do not work on a live washing machine. Engineers should use a continuity test meter to trace faults with the washing machine unplugged and never test with a live washing machine.

Hi,have you ever solved the problem? Mine is doing exactly the same thing.

rotating timer knob indicates that there is a fault, obviously, so its a case of going through a checklist, based on info given, check in this order, outlet pump, for open circuit, then heater element for open circuit, then maybe the water valves, you have given little information for me to go on as an engineer, please understand, the more you say the more detail we can give ..... ok cheers with looking for the fault, best of luck and work safe

if it wont drain check the pump for any blockages and working condition

hi, i have the same machine..i have a feeling it does this annually to make you call an engineer. to reset it do this; hold the 'start' button until all lights display, then press 'start' again. hold the 'start' and 'on/off' button together until it reads d-end or d-off. it doesnt always work 1st time so keep trying, good luck x
