Late zanussi washer with sealed drum

Re: Late zanussi washer with sealed drum

Have turened machines upside down to dislodge items like this, sometimes you can get in through heater aperture or take out drum lifter out to get at these. If it has its damage done its a tub replacement though.

Re: Late zanussi washer with sealed drum

I’ve always managed to retrieve drills and screws lodged between the front of the tub and the drum by finding out where it is – a large cable tie run round between drum and tub (through the door) usually finds it. Get it to the bottom if possible, then using a large srewdriver between the tub and the rim of the drum, ease the rim of the drum away from the door opening to open up the gap. The object can usually be recovered using a ‘magnet on a stick’ or tweezers/pliers whatever fits in there.

Brutal, but with care this can be done without damaging or distorting the rim of the drum.

Remove the door gasket. If it’s a non – magnetic item, use stiff wire to push a rag down one side of the object. Slowly turn the drum so the object rises to the top where it will fall out. Patience required!!

For metal items, use a strong magnet from the back of a speaker, put it inside the drum against the front face. Once the object is attracted to the magnet, turn the drum until the item is at the top and pull off the magnet.
