Indesit W113

Overall the Indesit W113 it wasn't too bad for a cheapish washing machine, did last approx 6 years, only had problems in the last year really:

belt came off a couple of times. Started to rust under the detergent tray and bottom of machine, started making a noise and then we got a smell of electrical burning and then it conked out! Bosch Exxcel here we come!

Well it looks like this machine is prone to this problem, clicking etc. Mine clicked for a while, then it would take about 15 mins to go through the cycle, without the door lock button needing pushing and the left hand lights did not flash/come on to indicate programme. Looks like I'll be buying a new one too if I can't get a cheap fix!

I'm very disappointed with the Indesit W113 washing machine.

The only thing that has happened with my Indesit W113 washing machine is the spinning belt came off once (due to a heavy load).

I bought this machine on a tight budget and for the last 3 years all has been OK. I do think there are better makes at reasonable prices these days.

I know of 5 student houses that have clubbed together and purchased INDESIT with no real moans yet.

Indesit W113: My dial is now just clicking round and round and its not doing a wash.

The book was not a lot of help.

Looks like I'll need to buy a new machine and its only just over 2 years old.

One thing is for sure. It won't be an indesit!!

Indesit W113 Washing Machine - Machine was bought on a budget but was listed as being capable of the task in hand, i.e., washing clothes!!

Worked fine for 1 year 9 months then started leaping around the room and making noises like an approaching Tube train. Worked well again for another 13 months then the same started to happen.

Merloni's answer is that you should have bought an extended warranty, sorry!! So on that basis it would look as though in my case one of the main components of the machine (the drum bearing) has a life of between one and two years.

Indesit machines appear to built for the cheaper end of the market and are only just capable of doing what it says on the box.

So far this "cheap" machine has a running cost of around £100/year.

Verdict: Ideal as a wedding present for someone you will never see again.
