    Re: Fitting belt on Zanussi Dryer

    Not sure what you pulled out unless it was part of the front felt but if it still squeaks then it could be a number of things like front or rear felt worn, rear bearing or the little black pulley on the motor. Sometimes when the rear felt wears it can go smooth & shiny which can generate a squeak.

    Obviously make sure you pull the plug if you’re going to investigate any further, alternatively have a look at the Repairs@ section for an engineer.

    Re: Zanussi TDS 382W front bearing

    Erm… I could be being really thick here but i’m sure the TDS382 never had any front bearing pads, just a front gasket. But there was a mod kit for machines that marked clothes which came with a new felt and 2 clip-on pad bearings. used to be 50272165007.

    Re: Zanussi washer FJ1033 – flooding problem

    Yep – usually the tacho is at fault but it could also be the triac on the module.
    If it is the module then check the model details carefully cos there are 3 versions of the fj1033 – /A, /B & /C, unless you can find someone who can repair the old one.

    Maybe you should consider calling an engineer who can diagnose exactly whats wrong with it before you buy any more parts for it. Check Repairs@

    I have undone all the 7mm bolt screws, but there seem to be a couple of these which I cant get the spanner to, which seem to hold the back on.

    You need to get those two screws out and a spanner wont be much good, you need a very narrow 7mm socket.

    Yours is a bit newer than the one above and works a bit differently.

    The orange stuff in the tank is as you correctly said for the water softner system – the reason you put salt in the container is to generate a brine solution which is then flushed through the resin tank to clean or “regenerate” it. As long as you keep your salt topped up regularly then the resin tank will work fine and stay orange / brown in colour. If anything fails in this area then it’s usually a complete new side tank although the solenoid valves are replacable.

    Hope this helps.

    Roly, if the two extra connectors are at the bottom left of the rad unit they are just connectors for the rinse aid sensor for the electronic versions, just connect the main coil only it should work.

    How much water does it take in? – should fill to around the grey nut on the salt container. If it fills to this level then you may have a pump problem, otherwise there may be a blockage in the horseshoe shaped hose underneath.

    Easiest way to get the fan off: heat the centre of the fan & shaft with a hairdryer, get it nice & warm then use 2 big long screwdrivers to gently prise the fan away from the shaft.

    Re: Fitting belt on Zanussi Dryer

    The screech may be coming from the fan belt at the back. Early versions had the belt fitted in a figure of 8 with a little felt pad to stop the belt touching in the middle, then they changed it to a standard fitting which can also squeal on reverse, try a new belt – if not there is an electric motor kit available for these models but it aint cheap and is a little ott for a noisy belt!

    Cant give you exact instructions on how to change the belt, except to say that you are on the right lines, you can get a replacement belt from here but you will need to find your serial number and product (pnc) number to make sure you get the right belt. One tip – check the front felt and remove any excess fluff before reassembling or your new belt may not last very long.

    Power off first of course and if youre really not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} confident then check repairs@ for a local engineer.

    Is he fitting the right pump – should have thermal cut-out in windings, also check door seal for splits / holes.

    If something goes through the pump then it can strip the entire set leaving them all neatly trimmed back.

    Re: Zanussi washer won’t stop filling

    There is a level control switch which is fed from a chamber on the filter manifold – probably the air chamber is blocked which can be quite fiddly to clean and in some cases it’s easier to change the whole manifold unit which is not expensive.

    If youre going to have a go yourself make sure you pull the plug first, alternatively have a look in the repairs@ section to see if there’s someone in your area as this can be a fiddly job.

    Re: Zanussi DWS919 dw not drain.

    The pcb in the door pulses the pump 3 or 4 times then it drains normally till the timer advances – this is to prevent air locking (allegedly)

    If the rear set of impellor blades are intact then it might be the float valve on the salt reservoir (behind the inlet valve)
