Zanussi DCE5655 compact leaking

[silverpixie1uk]

I’ve got water leaking out from the bottom of the door, it just flooded out while filling but is now just dripping.

I’ve done a clean of the seals etc but they didn’t seem that dirty and I’m running a hot programme with a cleaner in.

Please can anyone suggest what the problem might be and the approx cost of getting it fixed?

We are both disabled so its hard to washing up by hand.

Many thanks

A little more information that will hopefully help. The machine seems to be overfilling and leaking badly for a few seconds until it stops filling it then drips for a while as it goes through the programme. Its washing as good as usual.

Please can someone advise if this is economical to repair or should I just get a new one. I’m in Kent TN24 if a there is a service engineer close enough.

Many thanks.

Sorry I know I’m going on but I’ve watched it go through another wash and it only leaks badly for matter of seconds when it fills for the wash, it then drips for a while but when it fills for the rinses there is no gushing leak.

Unfortunately you don’t have a repairer in my area and Zanussi are going to charge me £50 + VAT to tell me whats wrong with it, if its the PCB it could cost another £100 on top of that 😯 again plus VAT.

Please can someone advise my best course of action.

I thought I’d let you know the outcome of this problem in case anyone else is having the same.

It was the pressure switch sticking, a mate took the casing off and blew down a pipe and its stopped leaking.

I should have been more patient as I’ve now got a brand new Bosch coming on Wednesday. :rolls:
