Indesit WD12

We inherited this washer from our previous landlord who inherited it when she bought the house… no idea when it was originally bought, but it’s 2023 and this thing is still going! Never had any issues with it - we even moved it to our new house with us. Reading the reviews, maybe we just got lucky?!

The spin cycle is LOUD though. Ours is in the garage.

WHEN this machine works its ok...it is just getting it to work thats the problem... on any programe it starts ok then stops, dial spins round... I manualy stop the the machine.. I Re-set the machine and (power off)...Start again on any programe starts ok then stops dial spins round... I re-set the machine (power off) and so on so unreliable.BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS. Our washing machine repair man said all cheap machines are rubbish and says buy a bosch,this does not seem a very green way of going on to me keep buying new all the time instead of repairing, signed grumpy old man (age 57)

I bought 3 "B" Grade models in 2004 to fit out 3 flats I'd just bought. Flats have had tenants throughout and have only had problems when one tenant twice blocked the filter. Fixed it myself.

One machine has just failed - still washes but does not dry.

I never buy service agreements, so this has been very cheap to run so far. Indesit now want £124.99 for a one off repair, or £179.88 for a 1 year warranty.

Will probably buy another "B" Grade.

My experience - very happy with Indesit.

My Indesit WD12x came with my new build flat and I have had repeated problems with it in the past 4 years and now have to replave it. I had to pay approx £100 for a repair 2 years ago and now the pressure switch has gone. It is noisy and doesnt clean well and clearly not value for money. Wont be buying again!

I bought an Indesit WD12s (silver version)8 years ago and in that time it has gone wrong twice, both times with a faulty solenoid valve. This is when the machine constantly fills up with water, even when it's unplugged. Fortunately the first time this happened it was still in its warranty period and the second time I bought the part myself and replaced it. I think the part was about 13 pounds. So it hasn't really cost me a lot.

The machine washes fine, but the drying is not the greatest. Clothes do come out wet unless you choose a very long drying option.

Indesit is a cheap, lower quality brand and I feel like I got my money's worth, but I wouldn't buy another one. My next machine will be a quality brand like Bosch.

This should have been class action lawsuit fodder. It crashes often, has gone ON FIRE in the dry cycle, failed door handle, switches, safety mechanisms, you name it, it's failed or just waiting to fail.

I have an Indesit dishwasher also, which has had components fail many times.

When it costs £20 for a replacement on off switch, I don't bother and just solder the wires or clunk in a generic £1 switch. Ugly, but these things are ugly inside already ;)

Don't buy any Indesit products unless you can repair white goods yourself and love the work. I've had to molly coddle a dishwasher and this WD12S washer dryer to keep them going, thankfully I sourced the parts and installed/repaired myself, otherwise it would have been too expensive in engineering callout costs to justify it's existence!

Never again will I buy an Indesit product.

This machine is the worst machine you could ever imagine! totally Sh*#e doesnt come near! I have had this machine fixed about 25 times in the last 5 years (I wish I was exagerating but Im not!) got it fixed a week ago and its broken down again already! and its really really loud when it does work!!!!

Crappy cheap, poor quality spring to mind!

If your renting a flat and it has one of these WD12 Indesit machines, your Land lord is a money grabbing Slum Lord!

My machine does work but the drum inside is tiny, it does not dry clothes very well and the handle has snapped off twice!

These are about £24.99 to replace in parts alone and a NIGHTMARE to fit evan if your quite good at DIY.

Spend more and get allot more back in return. You will certainly save money in the long run and get a much better product to.

You have been warned!

I bought one of these 5 yrs ago for a holiday let. It has NEVER worked !! The engineer has been out 3 or 4 times, replaced the circuit board twice and the knob still spins around. It has been the worst purchase I have ever made, absolutely useless - don't buy one, don't even let someone give you one of these machines you will only have to take it out again and dispose of it !!

Rang in a fault man came in two days put a part in said its fixed. Tried it not fixed another week before an engineer can come

DON'T BUY INDESIT
