Zanussi FX1465 overfilling.

[megawatt]

Select a wash and it will not stop filling. Pressure system and switch are ok, module has been tested by EMW. Machine works fine on spin. Has any one had the same problem?

This machine, as you probably know, works on an electronic timed fill system. It calculates the time it takes between reaching the first (anti-boil) level and the full level. The pressure switch is a conventional mechanical switch with 3 levels (anti-boil, full and flood) so under run test conditions does that switch operate normally during fill? Or if you operate it manually will the filling not stop and the drain pump run?

Thanks for your reply Dave. If you blow into the pressure switch during the fill and go through all three clicks the machine gives no response and keeps on filling. No alarms either??????

Re: Zanussi FX1465 overfilling.

check your heater cabling from board to element, had a zwf1211 (despecced version of the zwf1221 which replaced the fx range) manage to pull one of the tags off the element cos the wiring was too tightly wrapped around down there. that did the same fault of constant filling on first fill stage.

i instantly assumed pcb as there was no error code, but better nature made me check the back and couldnt believe it when i saw it just dangling there.

by same token obv check the element for continuity and operating resistance too, because if that has dropped/failed i would assume it would reproduce the same symptoms as just being disconnected, and as it didnt throw up an error code for me, its quite possible if the element had gone down then that wont show up in diagnostics either…

also, isnt it the digital ones that zanussi say your not supposed to blow into otherwise you can damage/corrupt the electronics on them.

Thanks for the info gandhi. Checked htr and wiring to board, pressure switch sounds mechanical. Looks like everything checks out but it still does not run. Not worth spending any more time on it so sadly it looks like the scrap yard wins.
