11 reasons why your Indesit washer is making beeping (How to fix).

There is always a reason behind your Indesit washing machine’s beeping. Sometimes it’s easy to identify the reason.

Such as your Indesit washing machine door is not properly closed or when you overload your washer.

Other times you can’t just figure out the reason why your washer is beeping.

Here are 11 reasons why your Indesit washing machine could be beeping:

1. Your Indesit washing machine needs an auto clean.

Few people know that their Indesit washing machine needs an auto-clean from time to time, called a maintenance wash.

This is because it helps to clean the inside of the washer and get rid of any dirt or build-up that may have occurred over time.

Your Indesit washer may enter an unstopping beeping mode just to alert you to auto-clean it.

This solution works for most people whose Indesit washing machine won’t just stop beeping.

The Auto Clean program is run with no load (clothes) in the drum.

Follow these steps to run an ‘Auto Clean’ program for your Indesit washing machine

1. Measure detergent quantity (10% of the quantity specified for lightly-soiled fabrics)
2. Press buttons A and B (as in the diagram above) simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
3. The Auto Clean will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes.
4. Press Start/Pause to stop the Auto Clean cycle

Tips;

It is recommended that you run an Auto clean cycle after every 40 wash cycles.

Always remove your laundry from the washer immediately after washing to prevent mold from forming in your laundry drum.

Always keep your laundry drum dry by leaving the door open for some time to limit the build-up of moisture and mold in your drum.

2. Moisture in your Indesit washer Program Selector

Another possible reason why your Indesit washing machine constantly beeping is that the program selector has come into contact with a significant amount of moisture.

When the program selector gets damp by coming into contact with moisture, the chosen resistance alters and your washer thinks you are repeatedly changing the program selection. So it continues to beep.

This usually is the problem when your washing machine is kept in a space that is highly humid or moist. Or your washer has been beaten by rain, somehow.

How to fix a damp program selector

1. Turn off the power supply to your Indesit washing machine
2. Take off the top cover by unscrewing the bolts that can be located on the top and the back of your washer. After removing the bolts, Slide the top cover backward and lift it up.
3. Look behind where the dial is, and you will see the circuit board held tight by 4 clips. Remove clips to release the circuit board.
4. Turn the board over to access the copper contacts.
5. Clean or wipe it using alcohol because alcohol doesn’t conduct electricity. Water or detergent conducts electricity and should not be used for cleaning.
6. Look behind the dial and wipe the 3 or copper fingers that make contact with the circuit board when it’s in place. Gently wipe it in other not to break any of it.
7. Clip back the circuit board in the exact position you unclipped it from.
8. Turn on your washer to ensure everything works well.
