Hi there my indesit wil103 keeps stopping and displaying a rapidly flashing red led and green leds 2&4 flash slowly please help as it has taken my duvet hostage many thanks
You will need to unplug the machine at the mains, give it two minutes and the auto door lock will release your duvet, however start saving the pennies as your pcb is knackered and you'll be looking at about £200 to fix it

You will find a broken bra wire rusty bits some coins etc inside the pump many people overlook to take the pump out the machine check for corrosion as the cruddy plastics their housings are made of crack when such items end up in the pump its fine to take them out but at least inspect the pump motor and housing for signs of damage that allow small amouts of water like spin cycle that are under more preasure the chance to enter the pump motor side and in a sly way
you can get to a state where you use the machine once a week it will do a full cycle if you dont catch this prob in time it wipes out the pump triac on the controller board easy to fix either way
but check out your pump fully and clear all errors after fixing the problem, by resetting the machines some what with most stupid brain
with no exception handeling at all most machines give no real indication of the actual fault . and guide you to this and that
Or buy a new washing machine your best bet soz but i have same problem.
Many modern washing machines display error codes if they detect a fault, but not all washing machines display a readable error code, some indicate an error by flashing, or lighting some of the lights.
Hotpoint, Indesit, Zanussi error codes
Hotpoint, Indesit washing machines and Zanussi washing machines are some common appliances that display coded error codes. On their more expensive models, they display readable error codes but basic models (without digital displays) use flashing lights to convey the error fault code.
If your washing machine malfunctions and you can see some of the lights flashing, or one or more option lights have lit up, then make a note of which lights are flashing and which option lights are lit. NOTE: the error code list engineers have only shows the option lights by number and not by name. Therefore you need to report the lights as LED 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 etc. and NOT "delay timer" and "extra rinse". Count the lights from the left (or from the top if in a column) and report as "led 1 and 3" etc.
No Option lights?
With basic washing machines that have no option indicator lights, count the number of flashes. For example, the door locked indicator may flash 7 times, pause, and flash another 7 times in a constant cycle which would indicate error code 7.
This information is vital, and needs mentioning when reporting a fault.

thamks alot for your help exept for the part about the repair cost lol!!!
hi i have wil 103 my one flashes rapid with delay timer and stain removal, also has a mind of its own, only 15 months old.
i have unpluged etc still the same, but switched it on again after week or so and it worked fine for about five mins,
have exactly the same problem, it used to do it now and again but now it wont work at all! my machine is 3 years old but i have only used it for 1 year. i had an engineer out in the first six months, he was no use as he told me it was my fault because i was overloading the machine, which was a load of rubbish! i may as well buy a new one as its going to cost to much to repair.not an indesit tho!!!!!!
call out the scrap man mines doing the same,piece of crap.
My Wil 103 has the same problem with lights 2 and 4 flashing. An engineer diagnosed the fault as a main board error and therefore not ecconomical to repair. Machine was 18 months old and used once a week only. Last Indesit product I will ever buy!
i have the exact same problem. only had the machine 2 years. looks like i'll be looking for a new one. now to try and get my football kit out for the morning!!
