W123 holding some water and dial keeps spinning around checked the filter all clear

If your seeing flashes from behind the dial I'm thinking that the timer needs to be changed. Even with the motor shorted out, it still wouldn't cause that effect to happen.

Hi,
Following will be the causes for water not draining properly
1.There is a motor/Pump which operates to to drain the water check whether that motor is working.
2.Check filter and clean it
3.Check the drain pipeline whether it clear
4.Check the inlet valve of the machine Sometimes the drain works properly but the inlet solenoid valve will not hold and the water keeps coming in and fills the drum

Thank You

Could be either a bad lid switch or a bad water valve.
Set the timer dial to SPIN and turn the machine on.
If it spins the lid switch is OK. If it does not spin the lid switch must be replaced.
Next,set the timer dial on a wash cycle and set the water temperature knob to COLD water. If it fills,the lid switch is bad. If it does not fill the water valve is bad or the cold screen filter is clogged.
If the COLD does not fill,turn off the cold water faucet. Remove the cold water hose from the machine water valve and check for a clooged screen.
If it does not fill with COLD water and the screen is clear,replace the water valve.

This a common problem with Indesit washers..
It is not a timer but a programme selector switch.
What you need to do is the following.
Switch the m/c on, let the drain pump empty the water, then switch the m/c off.
set the selector switch to one of the black dots on the dial, which is stop/reset.
Then switch washer back on, if the dial still keeps going round and round, then you are going to have to call an engineer, as you have what is called an Anomaly (fault).
Plz leave feedback for this solution.
Thanks

The F05 fault means the pump is blocked, check the filter at the front bottom right of the machine behind the plinth and if its connected under a sink check the hose & connection

would check pressure switch and the pipe that goes down to the drum for blockages if not may be faulty water valve unplug first regards jason

does the water empty from the machine? if not you will more than likely have something trapped in the pump. the best thing to do is run the grey outlet hose into a bucket, this will empty the machine. then tilt machine back (make sure it wont fall) then remove the plastic kick plate on the front bottom, behind this you should see the round plastic filter this will unscrew and pull out, you may need a couple of towels put on the floor as there is usually water left in the pipes. clean any debris and screw filter back in, should only need to be hand tight. replace kick plate and then give it try.
hope this helps

REMEMBER MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK.

like the anchor idea?, no sorry, this does sound like the water is not getting to the machine, so, when you turn the machine on does it make a slight buzzing noise, if so the fault is no water in the pipes to the machine (from the house), if no buzzing check the solenoids with a multimeter for open circuit (removing the 2 wires first) oh and the plug obviously / replace solenoid if needed, i am sure this will cure your problem, if so rate me please, thank you

Check out your outlet filter, probable it is clogged. Clean this out and refit. Most cases when the drain or spin does not work, it is the filter. This is a suggestion.

My machine clicked round, although I did not have the water overflow. I managed to unlock the pump filter, on the front of the machine under the lower panel. This was fiddly. I removed a coin. The machine worked again, but two cycles later starting clicking round the timer. I called an engineer - it worked when he was here, he checked the element and pump and said it was OK. When he had gone, it clicked round the timer again! He came again, and once again it worked perfectly when he was here. Eventually I checked the pump filter again, and removed another two coins. At the moment - it is working!
