Zanussi ZWF12070W1 not starting prog.

[Madmac]

This 2 year old machine will only fill on a cold wash setting, any other prog results in the pump running then it just sitting there.
It will spin.

Getting 6 red and 9 green flashes in diagnostics, is there a match for this? 😕
Tried plugging a new heater in and popped the earth off the motor for a spell but no difference.

Any ideas most welcome 😀

Thanks

Eddie.

see pm…

e69 – washing element interupted… see page 46 of pm’d link… (can also be found on connects mediator)

also remember service manual is only a guide. dont forget to nip the element wiring terminals on the pcb end, and also worth checking ntc loom (the superthin wires) are ok as these are prone to internal breaks, so check continuity between ntc terminal and pcb terminal. wiring down there is often pretty tight. but doesnt sound healthy tho, and have fun taking out the module 😉

Thanks so much for that, I’ll go back for another attempt 😯
Strange thing is the heater did come on when I was running through the diagnostics (had a new one hooked up at the back of the machine and it nearly damaged the customers floor when it came on!!)

I hate Electrolux products more than indesit these days 😥

Thanks again,

Eddie.

Just to update the outcome of this one. BER’d an identical machine 2 days after looking at this one (bearing failure in sealed tub) was given the machine so took its PCB and a few other bits back to look at the first one again.
To cut a long story short I eventually found a tiny chip on the board with a leg blown off 😯 Traced the severe current overload back to one of the valve coils, it obviously had a prob in its winding.
Replaced valve and PCB and now its going like a good un. 🙂

Fault code was a total red herring it would seem. go figure 😕

not quite, it did point you to the module being footkid 😉
thing with elux is that you gotta learn how to “interpret” their diagnostics, which only really happens when you see a lot of their machines. the error codes need to be taken as a pointer/guide only and their explanations with a large pinch of salt! Otherwise service force would be out of a job…
