Error F10 in Indesit washing machines – what to do

When no signals are received from the water level sensor, error F10 is displayed on the electronic display of the Indesit machine. The Indesit electromechanical CMA model signals a problem by flashing the “Extra Rinse” – “Turns”, “Lock” indicators. The “Delay Wash” – “Quick Wash” indicators may also be lit.

Also, when the tank is filled with water, the sensor can give an “Empty Tank” signal.

How to fix the problem yourself, we will consider further.

Symptoms of a malfunction

What does the F10 error on the indesit washing machine mean, you found out. What are the signs of a pressure switch failure:

  • The Indesit machine fills in too little, or, conversely, a lot of water.
  • Washed clothes are not wrung out well.
  • The tank is empty, but the system connected the heating element for heating, which means a malfunction of the water level sensor.

What should I do if the machine still shows the F10 error on the display? You will need to check the water level sensor.

  1. Disconnect the Indesit washing machine from the mains.
  2. Remove the top cover.
  3. Remove the clamp and disconnect the hose from the pressure switch.
  4. Connect a larger hose and blow. With a working pressure switch, you will hear clicks.

What to do if the previous methods did not help

Also, the reason that the Indesit washing machine gives an F10 error may lie in the control module. Why the board fails:

  • Fuse failure.
  • The thyristor control unit has shorted.
  • The capacitor burned out.
  • Board resistor failure.
  • Burnout triggers.

All this can lead to the above problems. How to remove the error and eliminate the fault code:

  1. Before repairing or replacing the board, ring the parts with a tester.
  2. If you need to replace the module, remove the front cover of the machine.
  3. Unscrew the screws, disconnect the fasteners.
  4. Take out the broken module and replace it with a working part.

Solving the problem is not difficult, it is important to correctly recognize the cause of the breakdown. Error F10 on the Indesit washing machine can only suggest a possible malfunction. The next step is diagnostics.
