m/c stopped during cycle with water in m/c, set to drain but after a couple of seconds progamme ends, manually drained m/c, checked for blockage all ok, cleaned filter, switched m/c on and set to drain programme, heard pump for a couple of seconds the m/c started to fill
then stopped, reset and started drain programme again but after a couple of seconds programme ends, infact any programme ends after a couple of seconds. I suspect pressure switch, any help pleaseRe: zanussi zwg6161
If it has a linear pressure switch you may have to reset it after manually draining the appliance.
Turn the machine off pour in 1.5 litres of water then put on a drain cycle. You might have to do this more than once as they can be temperamental
Re: zanussi zwg6161
thanks Gavin, tried the reset but still the same fault drain pump noise for 1 or 2 seconds then starts to fill. whilst is was working on the machine I tested the drain pump, 238 ohm, is the ok or a little high, also measured the voltable on the connectors when on drain cycle, 1 or 2 seconds at 240v but the is all over the place, so would your recommend pump or pressure switch and anything else……..
cheersRe: zanussi zwg6161
Resistance sounds about right. If you put the machine on a spin cycle does it do the same? Have you checked the motor brushes? When the brushes go you can often get odd faults.
Re: zanussi zwg6161
yes on spin cycle fills then stops or with water in drum, programe ends after a few seconds.will check brushes tomorrow as working lates today
Re: zanussi zwg6161
checked brushes both look ok, machine is only 18 months old,
prod 914906416, could it be the pcb, nbot worth changing or should i go for a cheaper part first……!Re: zanussi zwg6161
ran diagnostics and on every option the machine starts to fill with
water but does not post any error codes
