Zanuss ZWH7148P Won’t Start

[WalneyWarrior]

Zanussi ZWH 7148 P, it came with an unfurnished let so saved me buying a washing machine. We had a problems with out power supply overnight, including a surge, although I’m not sure if that’ll have done anything.

It is not overloaded, and I can close the door firmly. However, when I set the program and press START, nothing happens. The light on the Start/Pause button remains lit, if I switch to another program I get the “Err” as I would if the program had begun. but nothing happens. There is no other error messages or beeps, it’s as if I haven’t closed the door properly although I have done firmly. The child safety lock is off. Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks for the quick reply! No it does not

[electrofix]

and you get no fault codes

was expecting an e40 fault

Dave

[WalneyWarrior]

no, no error code (I thouhgt that too)

[electrofix]

just checked and you unit seems to have a brush motor. on some machines when thje brushes fail it can cause this fault. could just be coincidence it went off after your power problem.

is it repairable or time for a new washer?

[electrofix]

if it is just brushes its simple. do them all the time
