Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

Does the side panel where the condenser is not come off itself ?

I see this advice for the 1471 but I can’t see how the 12270 panels come off.

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

general question

Do new washer dryers still have a potential ‘lint-dryer’ blockage problem ?
Or is it a thing of the past for older machines ?

I see indesit washer dryers seem to have a ‘fluff filter’, whereas Hoover do not seem to ?

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

is this where my fault likely is ?
I think I can see this in the far right corner. With a fanbelt on it

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

self-fixing : do you think this is beyond me ? e.g. I guess it’s not a case of trying to stick a wire through a pipe ?

Do you think I would need a new part ?

I see Currys would be £119 to repair including part (if I read right)

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

I was reading another site that says to find the fault
select a program (not first one) and press and hold start and button to the left

I tried this and got ‘ ed4 ‘

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

OK thanks Martin

I tend to do 2 things that may have caused it.
A few times I have used those ‘woolly tumbler balls’ supposed to help with lofting
I also tend to put quite wet clothes in the dryer.
Anyhow, at least I still have a washing machine.

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

Thanks. Would I be able to fix this myself ?
Where is the condenser unit ?
I have no idea
I see another siphon come out the drum that is not the wash drain siphon

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

tried 2 full washes and a dryer cycle
the 2 washes went ok
But the dryer stopped about 10 minutes in with E20
It seems to be a dryer problem ?

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

thanks

so you mean it is normal in this machine to have maybe 1 litre left ?

The E20 error is a new issue.

Re: Zanussi ZWD12270w only partially drains

ignore this.
it seems to drain any amount (1/2 / full) but leaves about 1 litre of water.

It seems to start pumping out strongly (I can see the water in the sink) and after about 20 seconds a 2nd motor starts and this seems to stop the draining (but not the motor sounds)

Re: Zanussi ZWD 12270w drain pump replace

thanks.

If I wanted to replace it with a bayonet fit, would this be impossible with my current drain housing ? (i.e. would I need to buy the whole section ?)
