BORING! Help with Indesit Stain Remover setting please!

Probably the most boring thread ever.... We've got a relatively new Indesit washing machine (BWE91494) and for the first time I am trying to use the stain remover setting. There is a button on the top right, but when I press it, it beeps three times. The manual suggests that this means the stain remover setting isn't compatible with the particular cycle that I've chosen. But I've tried to set it with all of the different cycles. What am I doing wrong?!

Just had an online chat with someone at Indesit and they suggested calling an engineer, which I am reluctant to do since I've never used this setting before and I think it is more likely to be user error and I don't want a big call out fee just to be embarrassed by an engineer telling me that the machine is perfectly fine Blush

Does the instruction book say if the stain removal prog is compatible with all programs?

user1498572889 · 23/04/2019 19:41

I think you can only use it on a 30 dig program..

Sorry degree

I have a similar model - I use Programme 9 on the programme dial and the anti-stain option. If it is not compatible with a programme then the indicator light will flash and will not activate the programme.
If it is beeping 3 times it is because a previously picked programme is not compatible with the anti-stain option and you have basically 'overloaded' the machine with options (if that makes sense!).

Hi. Did you find out how to do this as I’m having the exact same problem? Thanks.

Is it an Innex? Mine (bought last summer) came with a matrix in the instructions showing which programmes will work with which settings and temperature. Try changing the temperature if you've tried all the cycles.

try turning it off completely.
then select a standard cotton wash and come down in the temp settings until it accepts the stain option.
ditto for synthetics/mixed.
or just spray with elbow grease liquid first, plus pink stuff stain powder, usual detergent and hope or the best.
what kind of stain is it ?

Thanks. I’d just figured out the cotton wash and adjusted the temp until it let me select the stain remover option. It was trial and error really. It’s just mud really so should be fine. I may try the mixed next time. Thanks for helping. 😊👍

Please tell me what options you used as this is doing my head in I can’t find any settings to work with the stain remover option
