First, we identify the machine
Every laundry owned by Indesite is equipped with a barcode. It is situated outside the drum hatch door. The barcode provides fundamental information about the apparatus that needs to be reviewed prior to repairing the control module. According to the tag:
- Indesite washing machine model;
- serial number of the device;
- Product code.
For an automatic machine, you should choose a firmware according to the factory barcode’s description of the washing machine’s features.
We will make clear what each particular parameter refers to.
- Model – prescribed using letters and numbers. Designation tells about a series of products. For example, the manufacturer of the cube Indesite uses the following marking: Wisl 124 CIS or AQSL 118 EU. At first glance, it may seem that this is just a set of characters. In fact, the model designation contains encrypted important data about the machine, such as the maximum spin speed, the type of laundry loading, etc.
- Serial number – the number of the automatic machine assigned by the manufacturer during the manufacture of the product. A unique identifier is assigned to the washing machine at the factory.
- Product code. This is the equipment model interpreted in an 11-digit number.
You should carefully rewrite the barcode information on a separate sheet if you choose to reflash the Indesit washing machine module at home. It’s crucial to avoid errors and to not mix up any one letter or number. It will take this information to identify the appropriate software.
Looking for firmware
Choosing software that is specifically appropriate for the model of your washing machine is therefore one of the most crucial steps in the impending repair. We suggest searching the bineep.ru website for firmware, as it offers a comprehensive collection of programs for all automatic washing machines at no cost. The portal’s user interface is very basic. The automatic machine’s model must be typed into the search bar without any spaces, hyphens, or other characters. The characters "/" and "." that appear in the model names of some washing machines may be specified.
Once the model name has been specified, you need to click "Find." The software will show programs that are appropriate for reflashing. It is also important that you take note of the machine’s product code. There may be multiple versions of this code for a single washing machine model. In other words, the firmware should be chosen with consideration for this parameter as the product code provides a more detailed description of the model.
For instance, the portal can reveal that a program is used up to S/N 40829…, while another program is used up to S/N 40425… This indicates that it is preferable to select firmware, such as 30815480000, if the serial number is greater than the given value, and 30815480201, if it is less.
You should use extreme caution when selecting firmware because the wrong software can cause equipment failure.
How to flash the machine?
An Indesit automatic washing machine can be flashed at home, but you will need to have a thorough understanding of this problem. You have to get ready for the fix. The user needs to have access to:
- programmer;
- computer;
- software.
Certain washing machines can only be reprogrammed using approved software; they cannot be reprogrammed using a control unit. Thankfully, reinstalling the modules of Indesit automatic washing machines is a simple process for their proprietors.
To link the washing machine’s main control unit to a computer, a programmer is required. The most widely used product from Chinese manufacturer USBDM can be used to reprogram an Indesit washing machine.
You must take the control board out of the washing machine’s body in order to reinstall the software. The following is how disassembly is done:
- de-energize the washing equipment;
- disconnect the equipment from communications;
- pull out the detergent dispenser;
- unscrew the bolts located behind the powder receptacle;
- unscrew the screws located on the opposite edge of the control panel;
- using a slotted screwdriver, carefully release the panel latches;
- take a photo of the location of the connectors on the unit, then unfasten them;
- remove the control module by unfastening the latches that secure it to the panel.
You now have the board. That’s it. We will now discuss the reflashing procedure with you. The laptop connector is attached to one end of the programmer, and the control board to the other. You need to download the device drivers next.
Verifying if the laptop has identified the connected devices is a smart idea. To accomplish this, select the tab displaying the devices the computer has recognized by using the "Start" menu. The programmer’s name ought to appear on the "USBDM" tab. By selecting the "Target" tab, you can see that the electronic board is also connected. This will show the control board number under the "Device Selection" subsection.
Subsequently, you must download the previously discovered software and the relevant driver for the programmer. The Indesit washing machine must be reprogrammed by:
- go to the "Target" tab;
- download the software (by clicking "Load Hex Files");
- at the end of the download, run the installed program. To do this, click "Program Flash".
You must wait for the process to finish running. When the control module is reinstalled, the firmware should be installed correctly if no errors appear. You can assemble the machine, test its functionality, and install the board in its proper location.
Your Indesit washing machine’s firmware can be updated to improve performance and resolve a number of problems, making it operate more effectively. To prevent any issues during the updating process, it’s crucial to adhere to the right protocols.
It’s usually a good idea to ask a professional technician for assistance if you feel unconfident about handling the update yourself. By doing this, you can be sure that the task is completed safely, correctly, and without endangering your machine.
Recall that you can increase the lifespan and maintain optimal performance of your washing machine by performing routine maintenance and updating to the most recent firmware.
An Indesit washing machine’s firmware can be updated to improve performance, address bugs, and add new features, but it’s crucial to follow the right instructions to prevent the machine from being harmed.
