How do I code a non-configured PCB – Zanussi WJS1265W

[schmooser]

Guys – Anyone know how to code a replacement PCB for the above machine.
It looks like I may need to buy a replacement and online suppliers all seem to supply a non-configured board, I believe the 16 digit code on the sticker on the white plastic housing on the original board is what I will need to configure the board but how do I enter it?

Cheers

I’ve got the details but all in hard copy, far too long to type out.

If no one can give you an electronic version I will scan it and send it too you but it won’t be until this evening.

It’s a little easier because you’ve got a display but even if you have not done it before just read through the intructions a coople of times and you’ll cope…

There’s bound to be a Service Force guy with an electronic version..

You’re right, keep the 16 digit code from the old pcb. Stick it/write it on the new one or on the inside of the lid…

First you need to enter the ‘Diagnostic System’ by pressing the ‘Start/Pause’ button and the ‘Skip/Reset’ button together with one hand and pressing the ‘On/Off’ button with the other. Release the ‘On/Off’ button but continue to hold the Start/Pause & Skip/Reset’ buttons for about 4 seconds until the LED’s flash. Release the two buttons at that point.

Now press the the 1st option button next to the On/Off switch until LED number 10 lights up (that’s the last LED in a row counting from left to right/top to bottom on the control panel) Now press the Start/Pause button to enter the first digit of the code (shown in the display window ), then press the Skip/Reset button once then press the Start/Pause to enter the 2nd digit and so forth until all 16 digits have been entered. You can scroll through the sequence from first to last digit by pressing the Skip/Reset button. It’s important at this point to do that to ensure you have the correct sequence entered prior to entering into the final ‘Configuration confirmation’ stage.

Once you are sure all 16 digits are entered in sequence then press the Start/Pause and Skip/Reset together and hold for 4 seconds. Configuration now complete…….

If error E93 shows then the configuration you entered has been incorrect and you will need to repeat the procedure all over again!

To exit simply switch off the appliance with the On/Off button.

Rocketman – thnks for the helpful offer, but looks like martin saved you the effort. Martin, thankyou.

It’s reassuring to know there are still guys out there willing to help others, here’s hoping I can pass on some of my mistake ridden endeavours to help others avoid the same schoolboy errors!

Hi,
It looks like I may have to replace my daughters PCB Module for a Zanussi IZ161S, if I can’t get her original one repaired. All the new ones I have seen advertised are not configured.

Can you tell me if the configuration procedure above would be the same for her model Washing Machine, or if there is anything different in the procedure for her model?

Regards,
GRW1.

Hi.

The procedure is exactly the same as Martin has outlined.

Can anyone tell me how to configure a PCB for a Zanussi FX1465w. I had a problem with the interlock which blew the PCB, I got a new PCB and interlock and fitted it but the machine just bleeps 4 times (without me pressing anything, it starts after the machine is switched on) and the start light flashes. I have tried disconnecting all sort of components and metered the pressure switch nothing changes this behaviour the interlock also click. I cannot get the machine to enter diagnostics mode, if I switch on holding the start/pause buttons nothing happens until the beeping starts again. I am sure the control module was a configured one but I am wondering if maybe it was not and that could be the problem.

Firstly, and to put your mind at rest, the module board supplied to fit this model is indeed pre-configured.

Now, having replaced both the module and the interlock, as you have, the error you are getting still relates to a door lock problem. I therefore would suggest you look carefully at the wiring between the 2 components. In simplistic terms, it appears that the circuit board is not talking to the interlock. The only reason for that must be the connection between to 2, if you catch my drift?

Best of luck!!!

Re: How do I code a non-configured PCB – Zanussi WJS1265W

Wow thanks for the quick reply, I did think the problem might be something to do with the door lock still.
I had the same problem when I first accuired the machine, I fiddled with the interlock (bent the main contact inside) and the machine worked fine for 3 months until Christmas eve when it tripped the electric. When I turned it back on it just beeped 4 times like it did before I bent the contact and like it is doing now. I opened up the control module and found a burnt track. I replaced the interlock and repaired the board but it still didn’t work, hence why I replaced the board.
As you can gather that still didn’t work. I will check the wiring again although I am sure I have done that already. I guess the replacement interlock could be faulty although I suspected that before and had a peek inside it, nothing is burnt or broken and it is quite simple so I doubt that is the problem.
Is it common for them to not go into diagnostics mode service when this fault occurs? and why does the machine try to operate by itself?
Anyway I will get the meter out again tonight and see what I find, I’ll reply with my findings later, cheers.

There could be other issues with the machine of course. (For example, an earth leak in the heating element?). And I hope you didn’t plug in the new module whilst the old interlock was still connected, otherwise it’s down the snake, back to square one!

On the assumption that wasn’t the case and in order to access ‘diagnostics’ the door interlock/connection issue must first be resolved otherwise it simply won’t play ball! 🙁

Re: How do I code a non-configured PCB – Zanussi WJS1265W

Haha no fortunately I am wise enough to not plug the old interlock into the new panel 😆 I have read about earth leaks on the element or the motor. I have tried disconnecting them but that didn’t work, unfortunately I do not have a megger to test for earth leaks. I did try an ohm meter which showed no continuity to earth but of course it could be leaking at high voltage. If I have no joy with the interlock I will try and find someone to do an insulation test.
