How to Reset Indesit Washing Machines: Step-by-Step Guide

If your Indesit washing machine is showing error codes, not starting, or behaving unusually, a reset can often resolve the issue. While Indesit machines don’t usually have a dedicated reset button, you can perform a manual reset using a simple process. Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-Step Reset Instructions

1. Turn Off the Machine

Press the Power or Start/Stop button to switch off your washing machine. The display should go blank or show no active cycles.

2. Unplug from the Power Outlet

Remove the plug from the wall socket to cut off all electricity to the appliance.

3. Wait for a Few Minutes

Leave the machine unplugged for at least 3 to 5 minutes. This allows any residual power to dissipate and resets the internal components.

4. Set the Timer Dial to Zero

If your model has a timer or program selector dial, turn it to the zero or reset position.

5. Plug the Machine Back In

Reconnect the washing machine to the power outlet.

6. Switch the Machine On

Press the Power or Start/Stop button to turn the machine back on. You may see the display lights flash, indicating the reset is in progress.

7. Turn Off Again and Select a Program

Turn the machine off once more, then select your desired washing program. Finally, turn the machine back on to start a new cycle.

Special Tips and Troubleshooting

• For Models with Error Codes: If the door won’t open or an error persists, try pressing and holding the on/off button until “rES” appears on the display.
• If the Reset Fails: Repeat the process once or twice. If issues continue, there may be a hardware fault requiring professional assistance.
• No Display or Error Code? If your machine doesn’t have a display but is not working, check for unusual combinations of lights. Consult your user manual or contact Indesit support for further guidance.
