Instructions for the Indesit W105TX washing machine
The Indesit W105TX washing machine user manual is written by the manufacturer in a style unusual for such documents. The text is accompanied by amusing illustrations that fit neatly into the manual alongside the informative images. Apparently, the manufacturer wanted to make this document more appealing to users, encouraging them to at least skim through it before turning on the machine. In this sense, our goals and the manufacturer's are aligned, so we decided to make the manual simpler and more engaging.
Correct installation is important!
The Indesit W105TX washing machine manual emphasizes the importance of proper installation of this "home helper," rightly pointing out that its lifespan and frequency of breakdowns depend on it. It might seem surprising, since the machine is designed as a completely self-sufficient household appliance. Let's find out.
- The manufacturer's instructions state that the machine should be leveled and placed on a flat, sturdy surface. What happens if you place the washing machine on a wobbling wooden floor without leveling the frame? The answer is simple. The negative centrifugal force, already significant during the high-speed spin cycle, will be amplified, damaging the insides of the machine and causing it to fail at least twice as quickly.
If the machine body is not level, your "home helper" may start to "jump" or even fall over on its side.
- Let's say we connect the washing machine to the sewer incorrectly. What could happen? First,
The "siphon effect" is when water from the sewer, obeying the laws of physics, rushes back into the washing machine. Secondly, a banal leak occurs if you did not secure the drain hose during installation. Thirdly, the drain pump breaks down due to excessive load. - Incorrectly connecting the hose that supplies water to the washing machine can result in a broken inlet valve, a leak that can lead to flooding, or even a system error and the washing machine simply refusing to operate.
- Improperly connecting the washing machine to the power supply can damage not only the washing machine but also the user. In the worst case, the machine can cause an electric shock; in the best case, the power strip can be damaged. So, be very careful during installation, and it's best to entrust this job to a professional.
Control panel and dispenser
The Indesit W105TX washing machine has a very simple control panel, the most prominent elements of which are the toggle switches. In addition to the toggle switches, the panel also contains five buttons, two indicator lights, a detergent dispenser, and iconic prompts that help the user activate the correct modes and functions. The schematic diagram of the control panel shows the elements labeled with different letters of the Latin alphabet.
- The letter "A" marks the all-important switch used to select and start the washing program. This Indesit model doesn't have a separate button to activate the wash cycle.
- The letter "B" indicates the temperature control knob. It allows you to select the water temperature for your wash. It's impossible to confuse this knob with any other, as there's a thermometer icon above it.
- "C" indicates the spin speed selector. The Indesit W105TX washing machine has a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm.
- "D" indicates the drawer where the powder should be placed. We'll talk about that later.
- "E" stands for the "Easy Iron" button. This button is located on the left, the very first in the row of buttons. Activating it prevents items from wrinkling during washing. This is a very useful feature for delicate items.
- The letter "F" marks the second button in the row. This button significantly saves water and energy, but will impact wash performance.
It's best to use the extra-saving mode when washing lightly soiled items, when the goal isn't so much to clean as to freshen them up.
- "G" indicates the third button, which activates the accelerated wash mode. If you need to finish the wash faster, feel free to press this button. However, keep in mind that this will also affect the washing quality.
- "H" stands for "heavy wash" button. This function is turned on when clothes are very dirty and need to be washed with utmost care.
- The letter "I" indicates the on/off button. Its purpose is self-explanatory, as it's readily apparent.
- "L" marks the on/off light.
- "M" is an indicator that the door is locked.
Well, that's all there is to it. To be fair, it's worth mentioning the numerous icons that cover the control panel. They're very informative and make it easy to see what washing programs and functions the washing machine has.
Now about the dispenser. The Indesit W105TX washing machine's powder dispenser has four compartments inside, separated by plastic dividers. Counting from left to right, facing the open dispenser, the first compartment on the left is for soaking. The second compartment is for the main wash, and the third compartment is for fabric softeners like conditioner. There's also a fourth compartment. It's inserted into compartment #1 when bleaching.
How to start washing?
Once you've familiarized yourself with the dispenser and control panel of this model's washing machine, you can try running a wash cycle. The manual strongly recommends checking the door and dispenser are tightly closed, the machine is plugged in, the water is running, and the program selector is in the neutral position before starting the machine.
Next, press the on/off button. Sort the laundry, load it into the machine, and close the door. Add detergent to the dispenser, set the temperature and spin speed. Press the button for each function, select the desired wash program, and off we go. All that's left to do is wait for the machine to allow you to collect your freshly washed items and dry them.
By the way, there are freestanding and built-in washing machines with dryers, which can not only wash, rinse, and spin clothes, but also dry them. Unfortunately, the Indesit W105TX does not have this feature.
Taking care of your car
If you avoid stuffing small items into the machine without first placing them in a laundry bag, and avoid putting clothes with pockets stuffed with loose change, your "home helper" will last much longer. After finishing a wash, don't leave the machine with the door closed and the dispenser sealed. Ideally, you should do the following:
- Take a dry, highly absorbent cloth and wipe the door seal and the inside of the drum.
- Leave the hatch wide open for 2-3 hours.
- Pull out the powder tray as far as possible to dry.
In addition, after 3-5 washes, the detergent drawer should be completely removed to rinse out any remaining detergent. If you don't, the detergent will become caked in, making it more difficult to clean. You'll also need to open it occasionally. clean the filter in an Indesit washing machine, the one located at the bottom of the case. The dust filter collects a large amount of debris, but you don't need to clean it often; once every six months is sufficient.
So, we've presented a shortened version of the Indesit W105TX washing machine's manufacturer's manual, which our experts believe is already quite good. Read the text carefully and take note—it'll come in handy later. Good luck!

How do I choose a program? For example, what does the number 7 mean? What about 6, or 5? Nothing is written. Do I have to guess?
These are the washing program numbers, everything is in the instructions, specifically 7 is 30 minutes of washing at 30 degrees.
Alexander, please write down all the washing programs if you know them. I don't understand anything. Thanks in advance.
What do the numbers 3 and 5 mean?
Hello, if the temperature in the installed program is set to 40, can I change it using the temperature regulator (plus or minus)?
Hello, is there an express wash function or not?
Bet on seven and you will get an express bet for 30 minutes.
