Indesit IWDC6125 washing machine Drum not rotating in wash cycle.

On wash cycle there is water entering the detergent box, then the drum remains static (does not rotate) then after some time, the machine empties.Compliments on your site, looks really good, I’m going to go through every video, I think this will be of great help. I have many appliances in a number of properties. I just sent you a query re an Indesit washer dryer IWDC6125. The machine is not going into wash cycle, the detergent drawer is receiving water, then nothing happens, then after a period the machine empties without the drum ever moving. I’m thinking electric motor problem, maybe brushes. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance… Best regards Paul

To work out why your Indesit IWDC6125 Washing Machine won’t spin or turn you first need to know exactly what is not working. The first thing to check would be the belt. This may simply have come off, or has worn and snapped and will therefore need replacing. Another possibility would be to check the carbon brushes in the motor. These have a tendency to become worn down.

I have added some video tutorials that will assist you in carrying out your repair.
Don’t forget you will need to disconnect the machine from the water supply and take the back of your Indesit IWDC6125 Washing Machine off to remove the motor.

As the manufacturer has fitted several different types of motors during the production run, different models will have different carbon brushes fitted to these motors so please check the carbon brushes before ordering them
