Why run a test mode in the washer? This may be needed in the event of a malfunction. If the equipment does not start the diagnostic mode on its own, then you need to enable it using special commands. The Indesit washing machine, which is easy to test at home, is no exception. Now we will tell and show everything.
To enter the diagnostic mode, put the program selector in position 1 and press the power key. Then move to position 2 and turn off. Turn it back to 1 to turn it on, then turn it to 3 to turn it off. Again 1 and start, then turn to drain and set service test.
The pause between switching is no more than 3 seconds.
After starting, an error code is shown. For washing machines without a display, it is manifested by the blinking of indicators on the panel. In this case, the code indicates an F3 error. To find out the meaning, look at the instructions or on the Internet.
How does diagnostics work? Here is a good example. After starting the program, the filling valve (KEN1) is activated.
Then the second valve is activated, after which they both begin to function.
Now the pressure switch (level sensor) is switched to the “full” mode. Next, the heating element turns on and the motor rotates, which turns the drum with the help of a belt.
As soon as the water in the tank heats up, the heating element turns off. After the set mode ends, the drain pump starts.
After draining the water from the CMA tank, spinning starts at maximum speed. In parallel, the pump pumps out the remaining liquid. After completion, the voltage is not applied to the pump and the blocking is turned off (lock on the panel).
