I think the more common problem for that is a leaky water inlet valve... :-(. If the water has been left to fester for a few hours it can go a bit yukky and mildewy.

This is quite common on Indesit made machines i've had it myself on a w103. The cold fill valve occasionally decided to slowley fill the machine with water, but there was no pattern to it. It is possible its coming down the drain pipe as there is nothing to stop it and once it gets going it sucks water through the pump but the only way to check is put the drian pipe over the sink and then wait n see it it still fills with water.

OMG Chris!!!! thats crazy

How long does it distribute like that for?
Is that the standard height for the water level on the wash?
Does it do that just on the High Intensity setting?

LOL sorry bout all the questions, cant wait for the next vid!

hey... when the high wash intensity is selected it tumbles like that for the whole cycle, and it seems to do an excellent job - i think this was the programme that got it its A wash rating
the water level varies with the load, so it is never the same twice, the video showed a fairly normal level for a full 7.5kg wash

not sure what else to film.... what would you like to see??

final spin film

start of final spin, as the machine ramps up to 1200 rpm... as the machine is quiet you cant really hear the motor at all
