Important! When you finally decide on the model of the washing machine itself, use our tips and instructions to connect it correctly. You will find everything you need for this in the following articles:

Among the variety of household appliances, an automatic washing machine occupies far from the last place in every apartment, since it saves our women (and men too) from the tedious process of washing clothes. After all, so many useful things can be done while the automatic washing machine itself washes, rinses, spins, and sometimes dries the clothes! And to do this, you just need to load laundry, detergent and select a washing program - the machine will do the rest itself.

Indesit washing machines have long won their respect among Russian consumers because they satisfy their taste with a range of functions and a relatively inexpensive price. For example, the WISL 85 X washing machine is suitable for a family with an average income, but is equipped with all the necessary programs. In one wash cycle, it can wash up to 5 kg of laundry, and has a stainless steel drum capable of reaching speeds of up to 800 rpm. A variety of washing programs will allow you to wash both white cotton laundry and colored ones. And gentle washing programs for synthetics and wool will allow you to remove dirt from the most delicate fabrics without deforming the product.

Unfortunately, washing machines sometimes fail due to wear of some parts or improper operation by the owner. The Indesit washing machine on the front panel has 4 indicators of the main washing cycles (soaking, washing, rinsing and spinning), located vertically, as well as 4 horizontally located indicators of additional programs (time setting, stain removal, light ironing, additional rinsing). When any breakdown occurs, they light up in various combinations, by which you can determine what happened to your machine and what kind of Indesit WISL 85 X repair is needed.

So, with error code F 04, the KH2 indicator (stain removal) blinks. This means that either the water level sensor (pressure switch) in the WISL 85 X is faulty, or the drain pump has failed or is clogged. To repair your equipment in this situation, you need to clean the drain pump, or replace the drain pump of the Indesit WISL 85 X washing machine or the water level sensor. If, when the washing machine is plugged in, the spin and light ironing indicators light up and blink (error F 18), then the software module in the washing machine is faulty and must be replaced. We will be able to replace the software board in a short time, and the cost of repairing Indesit/Indesit WISL 85 X washing machines will be so optimal that you will understand that if such a breakdown occurs, you should not immediately run to the store and buy a new washing machine.

Tatiana (Nizhny Novgorod)

Hello. The machine starts washing, fills in water, runs for 10 seconds and turns off, plugged into the outlet through a tee, the tee melted a little. What could it be? It makes a lot of noise when spinning. Machine Indesit WISL 85. Thank you

Moscow-Master

Hello! Most likely the bearings are worn out and the tank seal is leaking... Water gets on the contacts and everything turns off. But this is just a guess, anything can happen. Call a specialist who will determine the exact fault on the spot.

Elina (Dneprodzerzhinsk)

It stops in the middle of the operation, drains the water, the timer light flashes and the heater heats up without water.

What is your brand and do you need a model?

The Indesit WISL 85 X washing machine began to flash at the final stage of washing. After that, it turns off and the process stops. What kind of malfunction is this?

Moscow-Master

The device indicates that an error has occurred. Flashing means issuing its specific code. When this happens, the code must be deciphered before any repair action can be taken. All symbols are included in the instructions.

★★ ☆☆☆ Rating: 2 out of 5

Pros: Nice appearance

Disadvantages: Assembly in Russia (Lipetsk). Almost from the very beginning of use, it began to “glitch”: three buttons flashed at the same time and the machine pressed endlessly, did not respond to turning off the buttons, only by disconnecting from the network. Sometimes I might not be able to wring out the laundry, or would stop running out of water ((In short, I’m not happy with the machine, although I’ve been using it for 5 years.

Comment: My “old lady” is 5 years old. During this time it broke down 2 times. The first time after 3 years of use (they changed the heating element) and now it’s broken again, but this time the problem is in the module (the brain of the machine), we decided to buy a new one.

Advantages: Stainless steel tank, Italian assembly.

Disadvantages: Small speed scale when drying (800)

Comment: This is my second car from this manufacturer. I was lucky to find an Italian assembly, but I know exactly how strict they are in Russia - where such cars are now assembled - when it comes to build quality. The optimum ratio of price and quality. The stainless steel tank is very reliable - no matter what anyone says - the service center master told me how children's clothes with screws and bolts in the pocket were washed in a carbon fiber tank - the tank looked like something out of a shootout. The leak protection allows me to “wash” while I sleep and while I work - this is very important during intense workloads. modern women. An additional rinse is very useful when washing down jackets and other dense items; Light ironing reduces the time of subsequent ironing. The functions of temperature adjustment and flow optimization save money, and time - "time for yu". The maximum number of revolutions when drying is 800, but if you spin at high speeds (more than 800), the clothes are deformed and wear out faster.

Advantages: Silence when washing and many functions

Disadvantages: None yet

Comment: I have been using this model for several months. When purchasing, I was guided by the fact that it was easy to operate and did not create a lot of noise, I consulted with specialists and came to the conclusion that I needed a washing machine of this particular brand, and I selected the model myself, focusing on functionality and, therefore, price . That's how I chose this machine. At first I didn’t think that it would be so quiet in operation, but time has shown that this is indeed true. As for vibrations, you just need to correctly and evenly adjust the legs on the machine and place it level. The legs are very easy to adjust, you just need to twist the leg in one direction or another to lengthen or shorten it, for convenience you can take a regular building level, and now that it stands confidently on all 4 legs, the vibrations are so small that you simply don’t feel them. I have it in my kitchen under the countertop and in all the time I have been using it I have never felt any discomfort, despite the fact that I often spend time on the forge preparing food! I am also pleasantly pleased with the maximum thoughtfulness in creating all the functions, in which even my nephew, and he is only 10 years old, easily figured out everything that was there, what can we say about me!

The instructions for the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine, as well as for other machines, are very extensive and contain a large amount of useful information for all occasions. On the one hand, this is good, but on the other, the user gets lost in this array of information, unable to isolate the main thing. We decided to rewrite the instructions, thus creating a short and succinct version, leaving only the main thing. This is what we got.

Installation without errors

Only a master can install the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine quickly and professionally. Preferably a specialist from an authorized service center. But if you carefully read the instructions, then you have a chance to do it no worse, although it will take more time.

Improper installation of the Indesit washing machine can cause breakdowns that will be impossible to repair without a professional.

Let's start by unpacking the washing machine, checking it externally and removing the transport bolts. We will not describe this in detail, especially since we have already done this as part of the publication. Let's install the washing machine. Immediately before installing the machine, it is necessary to seriously prepare the place for it.

Remodel the floor so that it becomes stronger and smoother, remove all soft coverings.
Move the surrounding interior items apart so that the machine stands up and there is still some gap left.
Invite an electrician to make a new socket for the washing machine. We take a moisture-resistant socket housing, a copper wire of 1.5 sq. mm, difavtomat per phase, grounding is required.
Make an insert into the water pipe and install a tee tap or install a similar tap directly between the inlet and the mixer.
Install a siphon with the ability to connect the drain hose of the washing machine, or organize a sewer pipe outlet.

As soon as you manage to prepare everything, feel free to drag the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine into place and start connecting it. When moving the washing machine, be careful, because it weighs a lot, it is better to get someone’s help.

Remove the hoses from the special fasteners and straighten them. Avoid creases and kinks. We install rubber seals on the inlet hose, and then screw the hose on one side to the body of the machine, and on the other to the tee tap.

The pressure in the water supply must be sufficient, otherwise the machine will not function.

We screw the drain hose to the siphon and secure the connection with a clamp. Check the integrity of the power cord and plug. If everything is fine, you can connect the machine to the power supply for the first time and check its operation.

Where should I put the powder?

When you turn on the washing machine, do not rush to press any buttons. First, let's get acquainted with the powder receiver device. If you load detergents correctly, the quality of your wash will increase noticeably. The powder tray consists of four compartments.

The first compartment is necessary for pre-washing. If you do not turn on the mode that provides pre-wash, you should not pour powder into compartment No. 1.
The second section is universal and very popular. In most cases, powder or gel is placed in it, because this is the compartment for the main wash.
The third compartment is not intended for powder; conditioner is poured into it.
The fourth compartment can be removed and put back. In most cases it is not required, so it is removed and put aside. As soon as you need to start the bleaching mode, put this compartment in compartment No. 1, and then pour bleach into it.

There is a regular bleach that is designed for durable fabrics and delicate ones. The scope of the latter is somewhat wider.

Starting the wash

It’s easy to start the wash, but first you need to get acquainted with the control panel of the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine. In the figure below you can see a schematic image of this panel. There are six buttons in the top row. The first button, counting from right to left, is the power button. The second button is responsible for starting or resetting the washing program. The third and subsequent buttons are responsible for various additional functions that are activated by the user as needed.

Directly below the buttons are three knobs. The instructions for the indesit WISL 85 washing machine contain a description of the purpose of these handles.

The rightmost knob is the most important; it is responsible for selecting washing modes.
The middle handle will help you select the desired water temperature.
The last knob is for selecting the spin speed.

To the left of the buttons and handles there are indicators, and on the lid of the powder receptacle there are icons that tell about the washing programs available in the arsenal of the indesit WISL 85 washing machine. Now we will describe the procedure for starting our “home assistant”.

We find the top row of buttons on the control panel and press the far right one, thereby turning on the washing machine.
We sort the laundry and put it in the drum, not exceeding the maximum load value. It is best to load the machine halfway, no more, but no less.
Next, we begin to turn the rightmost knob, selecting the desired washing program.
Use the central handle to select the water temperature.
Turn the leftmost knob to set the spin speed.
Open the powder tray and add detergent and conditioner.
Press the “start” button and start washing.

Then the machine will do everything itself, we just need to wait for the result, and then hang out the laundry to dry. For the first time, it is better to run the wash without laundry, so that the insides of the new machine are washed out of debris and machine oil. Then you can wash as usual, without restrictions.

Taking care of the “home helper”

The instructions for the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine contain clear recommendations regarding the care of your “home assistant”. After finishing washing, it is necessary for the machine to dry thoroughly inside. If you can remove moisture from all accessible internal surfaces by wiping them with a cloth, then the pipes, inner walls and bottom of the tank will remain wet. Accordingly, if they stay wet for too long, fungus will grow there and the machine will begin to emit an unpleasant odor.

In general, we act like this. If there is high air humidity in the room where the machine is located, then after washing it is necessary to open the hatch wide, and generally pull out the powder receptacle and put it aside. If the humidity is moderate, just open the hatch slightly. This way the machine will dry out quite effectively. Sometimes clean the debris filter from dirt and check the flow filter and the inlet valve mesh about once a year; it can also become clogged.

If your Indesit WISL 85 washing machine already emits an unpleasant odor, and traces of mold are visible inside, run a wash with a special anti-fungal cleaning composition for washing machines.

Well, we have outlined everything that we wanted to outline in the shortened instructions for the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine. As promised, we included the most basic provisions in it. If anything is unclear or the information provided seems incomplete to you, please read the original instructions below. Good luck!

SM Indesit WISL 85 X weak points (malfunctions)

The machine does not start washing. If the indicators are on, then among the likely problems is a malfunction of the internal wires. And if the indicators do not light, then the control module or the washing machine power button may be damaged. As a rule, in these cases it is necessary to replace damaged parts.
The machine stopped draining water. This problem may be caused by a faulty control module. In this case, it will need to be reprogrammed or completely replaced.
Water does not fill up. Perhaps the problem is in the water sensor (pressostat). If data from it does not reach the control module, it does not give the command to draw water. It is necessary to replace the pressure switch, as it cannot be repaired.
The machine does not heat the water. The likely cause may be a malfunction of the thermostat - temperature sensor. The thermostat cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
The machine does not wring out the laundry. The pressure switch, a special sensor that measures the water level and transmits this information to the control module, could fail. If the module does not receive data, it does not give the command to spin the laundry. You will need to replace the pressure switch with a new one.
The machine vibrates when spinning clothes, and a grinding noise is also heard. To ensure that the drum rotates smoothly, a bearing is installed inside the machine. If it wears out, the car begins to jump and squeak heavily. The bearing cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
The machine drum makes a lot of noise and vibrates when spinning. It is necessary to check the condition of the counterweight - a special heavy block that neutralizes strong vibrations and vibrations of the washing machine. Often the problem is that its fastenings become loose (they need to be tightened). And in some cases, the counterweight begins to collapse, and it is replaced with a new one.
The unit is leaking from below. If all other functions of the machine are normal, then the source of the problem should be sought in the pipes - rubber tubes connecting different components of the machine (inlet valve with dispenser, dispenser with tank, tank with drain pump). It is necessary to disassemble the machine, find the location of the leak and replace the damaged pipes.
The drum in the machine does not rotate. One of the reasons is wear of the brushes, which create an electromagnetic field in the motor and cause the rotor to rotate. Over time, the brushes become shorter and no longer make contact with the commutator, causing the engine to stop working. The brushes need to be replaced.
The sunroof in the car does not open. Often this problem is associated with a faulty UBL - a special device that blocks the hatch for the entire period of operation of the machine (for user safety and protection against leaks). It will not be possible to repair the UBL - you will have to replace the device with a new one.
