Indesit IWC71252 Washing Machine Details
The Indesit IWC 71252 uses a knob-based control panel. It has an ON/OFF button, a WASH CYCLE knob, separate TEMPERATURE and SPIN SPEED knobs, function buttons with indicator lights and a START/PAUSE button with its own light. The wash cycle knob does not move while a programme runs. A row of indicator lights shows each phase in turn: Wash, Rinse, Spin, Drain and End of wash cycle. The same lights also count down the remaining time when a delayed start has been set.
The START/PAUSE light shows the machine's state. It pulses when the machine is ready, stays solid green while a cycle runs and flashes orange when the cycle is paused. When you pause a cycle, the light for the current phase stays on, so you can resume from the same point. To cancel a programme, pause the machine and select a new cycle. The DOOR LOCKED light shows when the porthole door is locked by the safety mechanism, which prevents it from being opened by accident.
The machine checks function choices automatically. If a function cannot be used with the selected programme, its light flashes and the function is not activated. If two functions conflict, only the one chosen second is kept. The machine also stops you from setting a temperature or spin speed above the limit for each cycle. The one exception is programme 2, where the temperature can be raised to 90°C. The Extra rinse function improves detergent removal, which is especially helpful for people with sensitive skin.
Two more functions can lower running costs. One adjusts drum rotation, temperature and water use for smaller loads of lightly soiled cotton and synthetics, so the cycle takes less time. The other does not heat the water at all. Instead, it uses stronger wash action and optimised water use to clean in about the same time as a standard cycle. For both, the manual recommends a liquid detergent measured to suit the load. The 20° Zone programmes use a variable-speed drum action so that cold washes perform comparably to 40° washes.
The load balancing system works before every spin. The drum turns slightly faster than its washing speed to spread the laundry evenly and prevent excessive vibration. If the load still cannot be balanced after several attempts, the machine spins more slowly. If the load is badly unbalanced, it redistributes the laundry instead of spinning. Mixing small and large garments in each load helps. For a guide to load weights, a sheet weighs about 400–500 g, a bathrobe 900–1200 g and a towel 150–250 g.
Maintenance is simple. Clean the detergent drawer often by lifting it out and rinsing it under running water. Wipe the outer and rubber parts with lukewarm soapy water, and never use solvents or abrasives. The self-cleaning pump needs no routine care. If coins or buttons fall into its pre-chamber, you can reach it by removing the lower front panel and unscrewing the lid anticlockwise. Check the inlet hose at least once a year, and turn off the water tap after every wash.
Safety guidance covers installation and daily use. The machine must not be installed outdoors, even in a covered area, and the socket must be earthed and easy to reach. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets. Leave the door ajar between washes to stop odours from forming. If a fault occurs, the function lights and the START/PAUSE light flash together. In that case, switch the machine off and unplug it for about one minute before restarting.
