Re: zanussi wd1012 filling problem

Once again thanks for the replies.

An update.

I got the lid off!!!!!!

Anyway, I checked the water flow and pressure through both the hot and cold supply pipes and they are both fine, I cleaned the filters but they were ok anyway.

What I have found though is that water comes in through the hot pipe when requested to do so but only trickles in through the cold when requested.

Inside the machine on the cold supply is what appears to be a valve with 2 solenoids on it (the hot has a similar thing but only one solenoid)

The solenoid on the cold side supplying the pipe that feeds the soap dispenser in slots A and C has a 240v supply going to it but is only allowing a trickle through, there is another pipe coming off the other cold solenoid going down into the drum, that one has no voltage going to it during the wash cycle but seems to derive its supply via the drier selector?

Is this valve/twin solenoid unit likely to be the problem or even still available? the solenoid with the voltage measures 4.3k ohm the other solenoid appears to be open circuit.

Thanks for reading this

many thanks for your replies
I will try the water pressure on the hot first, then I’ll try to get the lid off if that doesn’t work. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated!
