I recently bought a house which came with a washing machine: an Indesit W143S.
It will only work on cycle 8 (Daily Wash). On any other cycle the selector clicks round continuously and the power light flashes eight times (I believe this is an error code).
Any idea what this means? We weren't given the manual.
This often happens when there is a foreign object in the filter. It is usually something like a bra wire or hair clip (at least in my experience). Take the plastic cover off the bottom to reveal a filter (bottom right). Unscrew this and have a poke around.
Hope this helps.
