    Just got in from work and the cooker, washing machine and dishwasher have all broken.
    The washing machine is an Indesit W 123 and the controller just clicks around.
    The dishwasher is a Hotpoint FDL 570 and it won't take in any water.
    The cooker is going in a skip but are the other 2 fixable.
    Just in case I am being really thick what way should the lever point on a appliance gate valve? I'm presuming with the flow.

    I'd had a really carp day at work as well and my wife had cooked risotto for tea and I hate rice.

    If it's any consolation, I've just got in and been confronted with a nice bottle of Rioja...;)

    Maybe sort the water out and it'll all come good?
    (except the cooker!)

    I slacked the feed to the dishwasher off and water came out and the washing machine has water in it so I don't think that's the problem but my brain is fried.

    Because it involves rice, I not keen on rice, pasta or jacket potatoes, it's just too bland, no texture.
     
  13. Jeepers, Chips - that's hellish, man.

    Can't believe it - seriously, really sorry to hear your news.

    Risotto? Maaaaan :(





    (Only kidding - I love Risotto :p )

    Wasn't made with risotto rice and was vegetarian but has no one got an idea on my real problems?
     
  15. Oy, yeah, soz - I forgot about them. They just paled into insignificance.

    Chips, if the dishwasher won't take in water pull it out and lay it on its side. Some water may run out, then put back and try it. Sometimes a float gets stuck.
     
  17. Cough...

    Indesit W123? Is that a mechanical programmer? Ie - it physically rotates as the wash goes through its cycle?

    If that is knacked, then the whole machine is unviable?

    That's the one and what I thought.

    Cheers, I'll give that a try. :)
     
  20. INDESIT W123: Put it on the black dot and wait for rapid flashes - that means it's reset.
    Apparently.

    (Found on Google... :oops: )

    That would chust be too good, but worth a try?

    UPDATE - That's for a different model :(
