Indesit WS 105 TX, anyone got a service manual?

My trusty old Indesit WS 105 TX washing machine has started acting up right in the middle of a big laundry cycle. At first everything seemed fine, but during the rinse stage the program selector just started spinning endlessly, and the power indicator is blinking. I tried unplugging it and waiting for a while — didn’t help, and there’s still water inside. I understand the machine is quite old, but it’s been so reliable that I’d hate to throw it away — especially since it fits perfectly into a narrow space in my bathroom. Maybe someone knows how to interpret the blinking light as an error code? And is it still possible to find a detailed manual to check things like the motor brushes or the heating element myself?

One more question: does this model have a hidden drain pump filter that could be clogged with coins or hair? And how can I access it without taking apart half the machine? I’m worried about breaking the plastic clips on the front panel. Thanks in advance, guys!

The Indesit WS 105 TX washing machine is a real tank - my parents had one that worked perfectly for about 15 years. In your case, it's probably either that the water didn't heat up in time or that the pump can't drain it. Rather than guessing which component is malfunctioning, check the service manual for INDESIT WS 105 TX on ManualMachine website. At the end of it, there’s a table decoding the LED signals, as well as a step-by-step guide for checking the components. And the filter is located at the bottom right, behind a decorative panel that you can carefully prise open with a screwdriver. Make sure you have a basin and some rags ready, because once you start unscrewing the cap, a couple of litres of water will come out. Did you notice any unusual humming or grinding noises during the spin cycle before this happened, by the way?
