Hi Guys, not as easy as it reads, intermittant but same fault, at start of wash it can run for 4 mins then times out or it can run take in water and work properly for 20 mins and when it empties for the rinse cycle it can run for 4 mins then time out. The drying light on the right hand side flashes (2nd one down) I can blow freely through the clear tubing and both switches “click”. I have also cleared the last 3 memory faults stored. Please check avatar.

Sounds like the IWMS unit is blocked and not releasing the pressure switch. They are almost impossible to clean effectively. Replacement is the only surefire way to solve filling and pressure switch related faults.
Have you cleared the horizontal pipe that runs across the bottom at the front of the machine? Blockages here cause all sorts of problems.HTH,
Steve.
Re: Zanussi DE6744s water drain time out
IWMS can be cleaned but are needed two thinks:
– few days for this purpose (2-3)
– few kilos of cleaning solution and bath plastic boxing (as large as you need in order to piece fit in) with top blade cover (in order to not evaporate). I have used this, when I have sold second-hand washing machines, for cleaning detergent trays for any stone deposits marks.So, remove any other parts components attached to IWMS (valves) and submerse him into bath and keep under liquid level until all air is out. From time to time take it into vertical position in order to refreshing liquid from inside (because cleaning power is consuming) and also turning up side down.
Two major issues are to be keep in mind: taking care to not getting liquid contact with your skin and rinse at finish with lot of fresh water…Like clean solution you can choose any acid based solution (ex. hipo-cloric acid.) used for removing formed stones from bathrooms utilities…
