Zanussi FJ1003 will not switch on

[Flyer]

For a while now I have had to select the programme and then shut the door quite hard to get it to start. Now it will not start at all although everything is switched on. I suspect the door switch. If so how easy is it to replace and can you supply part No etc please. Brilliant site, I’ve used you often!

Further to last posting: I’ve look back at hisory and found someone had same problem. We’ve trying to remove door seal to access door lock. Have taken off the white locking ring (like a big tie-wrap) but nothing else moves.

Problem solved! Found out how the door seal is just snapped around the flange, and removed the lock module. Dismantled to see if any damage had occured and found that the problem was simply due to poor connections on the bi-metal/resistor stack which operates the microswitch mechanism. Just had to brighten the contact surfaces and re-assemble. The stack should measure 1.6Kohm across tags 2 and 3, but before cleaning it didn’t even measure on the 20Mohm range! Following re-assembly in the machine everything worked.
Hope this helps somebody with the same problem. 🙂

A far better repair is to change the inexpensive door interlock mechanism, faulty door locks can sometimes blow the very costly electronics, my advice to anyone out there with this problem, change the door lock, do not open it and ‘clean it up’, a temporart fix at best that could lead to more serious damage.

Sorry no one answered your post earlier but is has been rather a nice day 😥

If you can give us the Product ( Pnc ) number we should be able to identify the correct part for you.
