Went to this w/m today and here the fault, no motor movements at all also the pump comes on for a instant at the beginning of every program. the motor brushes are fine, the motor works when tested independently of the machine, so i would point my finger at the module, anybody agree?

the pumps always run at the start of every program, thats normal
quite often, its a faulty valve coil?
not impossible pcb is faulty though, ive had that too
Re: Zanussi zwf1010w
I’ve never known a washing machine pump out when it starts a program, is this a new thing on modern machines? also i should point out that the pump is only on for a faction of a second.
When you say that it could be a faulty valve could that be either valve (not sure if it’s one or two valves on this machine) i ask because it takes water in ok at the start of a 40 degree wash.David
edit: boy do i feel a prat, i’ve never noticed that a modern w/m pumps out at the beginning but i’ve just check with one i have in the workshop.
Re: Zanussi zwf1010w
Yep, & if the press sw doesnt detect a pressure change when its doing this that can cause abort prog i’ve found.

And the reason they do that is to clear any water that may have been introduced into the drum by the user whilst loading the machine. A paramount requirement of modern machine , like Zanussi’s that have analogue pressure switches, sump float valves and in more recent examples, fill valve flow meters. It is a way of insuring the required parameters are reset prior to programme start…… 😉 …All clever electronic stuff. 8)
