If error code F 06 appears on the display of the Indesit electronic washing machine, you can try to figure out the problem yourself. This error means that a control problem has occurred and the machine does not respond to commands.
The electromechanical model CMA Indesit generates an F6 error by flashing the “Extra Rinse” and “Soak” indicators. The “Quick Wash” – “Super Wash”, “Ironing” – “Dirty Laundry” lights may also be on. The user may notice that the “Lock” indicator is flashing.
