Continuous fill/empty

Washing Machine continuously fills and empties with water

Indesit · Washing Machines

What does Continuous fill/empty mean?

The Washing Machine repeatedly fills with water and then immediately drains it without progressing through a wash cycle. This often indicates an issue with the drain hose installation.

Common Causes

  • The drain hose is positioned too low or too far into the standpipe.
  • The wall drainage system does not have a standard pipe (minimum 38 mm diameter).

  3. 3
