just in case anyone has a similar model Indesit to mine - I was happily following along when I hit an extra hurdle as soon as I removed the side panel, my model has a circuit board obstructing the fan covering from being removed! ha! So, Ive taken lots of pictures of where everything plugs in!! I would have done a video but I needed the torch on my phone 😂....then slowly unplugged some of the wires from board, then unscrewed the board from the machine, this was accessed from the front of the machine (that was under a little cover) and needed a star type allan key tool (please help me out I don't know the name of that thing, I just happened to have one!😂) - then I could remove the fan covering :) Now having a little lunch and a big cuppa coffee before I go back and assemble it all back together after replacing the pulley :) The extra step of removing the board required a breaktime lol
@vernoncox95989 ай бұрын
You only needed to remove the two front screws and then the whole panel can be lifted out to the side without disturbing the wires. There may be the odd cable tie to snip off but just removing the panel to one side leesens the risk of error. But top marks for taking photos! In the old days I always used paper and pen to draw out the connectios if I had to remove a module or timer.

It's not perfect you have to be careful not to touch the pulley wheel with the screwdriver, but the other videos that are on KZbin showing you just to stretch the belt and pull it over the wheel are done for video purposes only in real life. It is nearly impossible to do it.

For anyone else having this issue, for me it turned out the water gulley inside the machine was blocked with dirt. If you remove the condenser box at the front of the machine , behind that alot of dirt can build up preventong the water to drain out. There is a side panel that you can drop tonget better access to clean this from a side angle.👍🏽
