i have a zanussi fjs1225w , it goes on i select programme then it starts, you know at the beginning of the prog the water whooshes in well , it does that the whole time, it doesnt stop, the circle does about fifteen minutes then the timer returns to the start again, but the whole time the machine is filling up, the only way to empty it is to pause and select empty , it empties but is still whooshing, the tub has still got abit of water in it, but the door opens. i have tried unplugging it to see if it was just playing sillies , but still the same. please help ,
do i need to bin it and get a new one help 😡 😳Re: help washing machine being weird
When you say you unplugged it and its the same, do you mean water still comes in or is it when you power it back up after?. If its the first then I would suspect the fill valve has jammed in the open position and will be in need of replacement.

sorry no i unplugged it then run the program again, when i powered it back on , it doesnt do it until programme is selected
Re: help washing machine being weird
gegsy do you still think it could be the fill valve if so how easy to do?
Re: help washing machine being weird
It doesn’t sound like it TBH. More like a pressure system or module fault. There are some on here more familiar with this machine Im sure 😉

Re: help washing machine being weird
When wash is selected does the drum turn slowly or does it turn fast like spin speed creating the whooshing sound?

it does get to a spin , but does do its normal wash spin, the whooshing is from the water cos when you open the powder tray it is louder. the programme roughly gets 15 mins in then returns to original count down eg 55 mins then counts down to say 40 , then changes back to 55 again with the consent water whooshing thro the powder tray.
Re: help washing machine being weird
Does the water drain into a stand pipe or does it connect to a spigot under the sink? If the drain hose is too low the machines water will run out as it is filling(syphoning). Therefore never getting through cycle. Just athought.

Re: help washing machine being weird
its thro a pipe , but it has work for over a year this way, and it fills up and empties sort of, only when programme is paused and drain is selcted, but all this time the water is still filling it up slowly .
Re: help washing machine being weird
Just saying then if the pipe is shoved too far down standpipe into u bend then syphoning may occur. Raising the pipe pointing into say the sink temporarily to test will prove this.
