zanussi fj 1296

[janwedgewood]

2007 is not getting off to a very good start. The latest things is my Zanussi FJ 1296 is not turning/spinning. The programs are working Ok they fill drain etc etc. But the drum does not move. The drum can be moved easily by hand in both directions. could be something as simple as a fan belt gone? Will this be easy to change? I might be female (well I was last time I looked) but am willing to give it a go. Money is short following renovations to the house. Fridge freezer die last week or to be correct condenser fan has but there is no model number in F/F so I have had to buy new one. Roll on February. Any help gratfully received

Carbon brushes in the motor most likely worn out = awkward job rather than difficult. Have a read of this to get an idea of what is involved:

Power off, if you decide to investigate.

The machine is now all back together and fully working. Took motor to local spares place and they removed and replaced the brushes for me giving the motor a quick clean up at the same time.

Had small leak on cold fill at first but put PDF tape on and it seems to be OK. Just in case I will turn water off when not in use ( both H&C have their off turn offs under the sink) and get new cold fill hose tomorrow.

The man at the spares place was really helpfull be has told me how to hopefully fix catch on dishwasher (I willl head over to that forum in a mo to check things out) and also if I need a new motor on F/F he will see what he can do to sort the right one out. If I take the old one in.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the help I have received. Follow the dishwasher and F/F on the other forums.

Will also be posting a warning in connection to new F?F. They are coming out to that next Saturday afternoon……..
