★★ ☆☆☆ Rating: 2 out of 5
Pros: Nice appearance
Disadvantages: Assembly Russia (Lipetsk). Almost from the very beginning of use, it began to "fail": three buttons flashed at the same time and the machine endlessly pressed, it did not react to turning off the buttons, only by disconnecting from the network. I could sometimes not wring out the laundry, or stop with water ((In short, I’m not happy with the machine, although I used it for 5 years.
Comment: My "old lady" is 5 years old. During this time, it broke 2 times. The first time after 3 years of use (they changed the heating element) and now it broke again, but this time it was 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 machine from this manufacturer. I was lucky to find an Italian assembly, but I know for sure how tough it is in Russia - where such cars are now assembled - to build quality. The optimum ratio of price and quality. The stainless steel tank is very reliable - no matter what they say - the master of the service center told me how children's clothes were washed in the carbon fiber tank with bolts in the pocket - the tank was like from a shootout. Leak protection allows me to "wash" while sleeping and while working - this is very important during intensive workloads. modern women. Extra rinse is very handy when washing down jackets and other dense items; light ironing reduces the time of subsequent ironing. The functions of temperature control and flow optimization save costs, and time - "time for yu". The maximum number of revolutions during drying is 800, but if you wring out at high revolutions (more than 800), the clothes are deformed and wear out faster.

Pluses: Silence when washing and a lot of functions
Cons: None yet
Comment: I have been using this model for several months, when buying, I was guided by the fact that it was easy to operate and did not create a lot of noise, I consulted with experts and came to the conclusion that a washing machine of this particular brand was needed, and I selected the model on my own, focusing on functionality and 100-responsible price . That's how I chose this machine. At first I did not think that it would be so quiet in operation, but time has shown that this is really true, as for vibrations, then you just need to correctly and evenly adjust the legs on the typewriter and put it straight. 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 the usual building level, And now when it stands confidently on all 4 legs, the vibrations are so small that you simply don’t feel them. I have it in the kitchen under the countertop and for all the time I have been using it, I have never felt any inconvenience, despite the fact that I often spend time in the kitchen cooking! Pleasantly pleased with the maximum thoughtfulness in the creation of all functions, in which even my nephew, and he is only 10 years old, easily figured out everything that is there, what can I say about me then!
Among the variety of household appliances, the automatic washing machine occupies far from the last place in every apartment, since it saves our women (by the way, men too) from the tedious process of washing clothes. After all, so many useful things can be done while the washing machine itself washes, rinses, wrings out, and sometimes dries clothes! And for this you just need to load the laundry, detergent and select the washing program - the machine will do the rest.
Indesit washing machines have long won their respect from the Russian consumer, as they satisfy their taste with a set 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, has a stainless steel drum capable of speeds up to 800 rpm. A variety of washing programs will allow you to wash both white cotton underwear and colored ones. And gentle washing programs for synthetics and wool will remove dirt from the most delicate fabrics without deforming the product.
Unfortunately, washing machines sometimes fail due to wear and tear 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 horizontally located 4 indicators of additional programs (setting for a while, removing stains, easy ironing, extra rinse). When any breakdown occurs, they light up in various combinations, by which you can determine what happened to your machine and what repair Indesit WISL 85 X needs.
So, with error code F 04, the KH2 indicator flashes (stain removal). This means that either the water level sensor (pressure switch) in the WISL 85 X is faulty, or the drain pump has flown 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 connected to the mains, the spin and easy iron indicators light up and flash (error F 18), then the program module in the washing machine is faulty, which 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 you should not immediately run to the store and buy a new washing machine in case of such a breakdown.

Hello. The machine starts to wash, fills with water, works for 10 seconds and turns off, connected to the outlet through a tee, the tee has melted a little. What could it be? When spinning it makes a lot of noise. Machine Indesit WISL 85. Thank you

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

It stops in the middle of the operation, drains the water, the timer lamp flashes and the heater is heated without water.

CM Indesit WISL 85 X weak points (faults)
- The machine does not start washing. If the indicators are on, then among the possible problems is a malfunction of the internal wires. And if the indicators do not light up, then the control module or the power button of the washing machine may be damaged. As a rule, in these cases it is necessary to replace damaged parts.
- The machine stopped draining water. The cause of this problem may be a malfunction of the control module. In this case, it will need to be reprogrammed or completely replaced.
- No water is drawn. Perhaps it's the water sensor (pressure switch). If data from it is not received by 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 water. The probable cause may be a malfunction of the thermostat - temperature sensor. The thermostat is beyond repair and must be replaced.
- The machine does not spin out the laundry. The pressure switch could fail - a special sensor that measures the water level and transmits this information to the control module. If the module does not receive data, then it does not give a command to wring out the laundry. You will need to replace the pressure switch with a new one.
- The machine vibrates when spinning clothes, and a rattle is also heard. To make the drum rotate smoothly, a bearing is installed inside the machine. If it wears out, then the car starts to jump and creak strongly. The bearing cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced.
- The drum of the machine during the spin cycle rattles and vibrates strongly. 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 fasteners are loose (they need to be tightened). And in some cases, the counterweight begins to collapse, and it is changed to a new one.
- The unit is leaking from below. If, at the same time, 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 a dispenser, dispenser with a tank, tank with a drain pump). It is necessary to disassemble the machine, find the place of the leak and replace the damaged pipes.
- The drum does not rotate in the machine. One of the reasons is the 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 in contact with the commutator, as a result, the engine stops working. The brushes need to be replaced.
- The sunroof does not open on the car. 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 work to repair the UBL - you will have to change the device to a new one.
