Washing machine lost power (Indesit iwme147)

[bettz1]

Hi all, today we woke up went to put a wash on so flicked the switch and nothing, no lights, panic set in as I last used it sunday with no issues.

Take the door off and remove the plinth I lifted the machine a tiny bit and then we had flashing lights,now it's all good working fine? (well it's currently washing )

We've had the machine about 8 years now and never had much issues.

Any idea what went wrong? Is it on its way out?

Where is the plug and socket?

Fuse in plug may need a clean

Where is the plug and socket?

Plug & socket are behind the machine

Thought so

They may have been dislodged by the movement of the machine.

You might want to remove the machine and ensure that the plug is in fully. If it is slightly loose arcing may melt the plug/socket
