Something Not Working
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out
an engineer. Before contacting your local Zanussi Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
Symptom
The machine does not start
Possible causes
■
The door has not been closed.
■
The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
■
There is no supply at the socket
■
The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.
■
The selector dial is not correctly positioned.
■
The ON/OFF button has not been depressed.
The machine does not fill
■
Ensure the water taps are open.
■
The filters in the inlet hoses are blocked.
■

■
The door has not been closed.
The machine fills then empties
immediately
■
The end of the drain hose is too low.
■
The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
■
There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin
■
The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.
■
The RINSE HOLD or NO SPIN option has been selected.
■
The drain filter may be blocked.
■
The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the
instructions for connecting to the waste.
■
The drainage system pipes are blocked.
■
The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to
allow the machine to spin.
There is water on the floor
■
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).
■
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose(s) fittings.
It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check
to see if it is damp.
■
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.
■
The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.
■
The drainage system pipes are blocked.
Unsatisfactory washing results
■
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.
■
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
■
The correct wash programme has not been selected.
■
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
The machine vibrates when spinning
■
The internal packing has not been removed.
■
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.
■
The machine is not stable and level (check diagonally).
■
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.
■
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
