What does Transport bolts not removed mean?

Before the first use of your Indesit Washing Machine, transport bolts must be removed from the rear of the appliance. These bolts secure the drum during transit. If not removed, the machine may not start, vibrate violently, or become noisy, potentially causing damage.

Common Causes

  • The transport bolts, which secure the drum for shipping, were not removed during the initial installation of the Washing Machine.
  • The user attempted to operate the machine before completing the necessary pre-use setup steps.
