Resetting errors on an Indesit washing machine

Resetting errors on an Indesit washing machine You can reset an error on an Indesit washing machine when its appearance was caused by a short-term system failure. If the fault code appears constantly, it means that it indicates a specific problem that cannot be ignored. Let's figure out what to do in a given situation.

Removing the code

Many users try to reset the error by simply turning off the power to the Indesit washing machine. However, often unplugging the power cord from the outlet does not help - after turning it on, the fault code appears again. You should proceed like this:

turn on SMA;
hold down the “Start/Pause” button for 4-6 seconds;
wait until the indicators on the dashboard turn green and go off;
make sure the error is cleared.

On older Indesit machines, it may be necessary to additionally place the program selector in the neutral position. After successfully resetting the error, the control panel will be unlocked and the washing machine can be used.

If the method described above does not help reset errors, you can try this method:

turn the programmer to the first position;
hold down the “Start/Pause” button for 4-6 seconds;
disconnect the machine from the power supply by unplugging the power cord from the outlet;
Connect the washing machine to the network and run a test cycle.

This way you can reset an error that appeared as a result of a short-term software failure.

If the fault code lights up even after the manipulations have been carried out, then there really is a problem. We will have to diagnose and repair the SMA. We'll tell you what errors Indesit owners may encounter.

What errors does the user encounter?

Modern Indesit washing machines are equipped with a perfect self-diagnosis system. The machines easily detect a breakdown and notify users about it. The explanation of the fault codes is presented in the equipment instructions. We will tell you what problems these or other errors indicate.

F01 indicates motor damage.
F02 signals that the motor is not functioning correctly.
F03 indicates a failure of the temperature sensor.
F04 informs about a malfunction of the water level sensor.
F05 reports a failure of the drain pump.
F06 indicates a button error.
F07 signals that the pressure switch stopped working after water was taken.
F08 indicates a breakdown of the heating element.
F09 reports a control module memory error.
F10 informs you that water is being drawn into the tank too slowly.
F11 signals a violation in the drain pump circuit.
F12 notifies that there is no connection between the dashboard indicators and the control module.
F13 notifies of a breakdown of the drying temperature sensor.
F14 indicates a failure of the heating element of the drying chamber.
F15 signals damage to the drying heating element relay.
F16 signals that the washing machine drum is blocked (typical only for vertical washing machines).
F17 informs about the breakdown of the UBL.
F18 warns of irregularities in the control board processor.
H20 indicates a problem with water entering the tank.

The list of errors programmed into the memory of Indesit washing machines is quite extensive. Having deciphered what failure the code indicates, you can begin to troubleshoot the problem without spending extra time and effort on general diagnostics.
