Error without a code
Do you have an Indesit washing machine without a display and doesn't the appliance work? This could be due to an error. Without a visible error code, you can recognize an error by the combination of lights on your appliance. If that's the case, contact Indesit. They'll try to find a solution with you.
Problem not solved?
Didn't the solutions help? Try to reset the machine. Unplug the connector from the socket and wait for 30 minutes. Try to start the cycle again after this time. If your washing machine still displays an error, a technician is required. Contact the store you bought your Indesit washing machine. Or, contact the Indesit customer service.
