hi can anybody tell me whats going on with my wasing machine. It is sticking on cycle D and boiling my clothes.It eventually finishes the cycle
but shrinks everything.The timer looks a bit mouldy at the front is it possible a good clean would do the trick.
Thanks

no the machine sticks just after the pre wash d and has to be moved manually to complete cycle
Likely a timer or thermostat failure then, outside possibility of an electronic failure but I wouldn’t think so. But I’d be checking the stats long before I looked at the timer. 😉

Clearly a thermostat fault I reckon, two stats fitted on this model, both need changing or at least their plug-in connections inspecting?

Re: zanussi fl1081 boiling clothes
just checked the fluff filter and it was jammed solid,would this have any bearing on the problem???
Re: zanussi fl1081 boiling clothes
A blocked drain filter will cause your machine to not drain the hot water in the first place and therefore cause the programme to stick prior to the rinses starting, yes !
Re: zanussi fl1081 boiling clothes
It would certainly make it stick during the cycle but not the overheating issue I wouldn’t have thought.
Only one way to find out, stick it on a cycle…empty 😉

thanks for your help lads!! Much appreciated
It was in fact the thermostats I bought them from e-spares for £35 and it did the trick.Saved me purchasing a new machine as the earache from my wife was tremendous especially as it kept shrinking her clothes.Re: zanussi fl1081 boiling clothes
You paid how much?
Why the hell didn’t you contact spares@ukwhitegoods.com ? Not only do we have the technical resources, but we have the spare parts at sensible prices as well.
Oh well, too late now.

Penguin45.Because if you click washer parts – thermostats
you get an option of one thermostat.Should have e-mailed you but espares site was better set out and after trawling through different websites not knowing exactly the parts I needed I plumped for the most user friendly.I cant gauge how much things cost as these sites dont give prices unless you know the exact parts you want in the first place.
Was quite chuffed with myself until I read your mail but cheers anyway
In the future I will use your siteRe: zanussi fl1081 boiling clothes
I suppose it’s a result for you Craig, next time, just ask – the Spares Legend, Mr Conway, may even reply in person 🙂 .
Quite seriously for the benefit of other readers, the whole spares thing has got so complex these days that we find it easier, more accurate and often quicker to answer your questions than to try and list every component that might be needed. Literally millions of the blighters.
