Re: Zanussi ZWG 7160P electric smell after spin
If it was made in Italy it would say that on the rating plate, not sure about that model but a lot of recent Zanussi washers have been coming from China and they are rather poor.
Removal and inspection of the main motor is the only way to be certain but if it makes a clicking noise as you spin the drum that is usually a sign of commutator failure inside the motor, accompanied most times by a smell and eventually a bang. :eeek:

Have look inside the door to see if it says made in PRC or made in China, it it does then I wouldn’t waste any money it TBH. 😥

Sounds very much like a failing main motor. 🙁

That lot looks like leftovers from the Spanish Inquisition. 🙂

Theoretically no but as I have never felt the need to override or bypass switches or components I cannot offer any comments other than to tell you what my 47 years plus experience tells me when the door light flashes. 😉

You have to remove the main motor and take the brushes off the motor to examine them. Be sure to remove the mains plug before you attempt this.

In 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}of cases a flashing door locked light means that either the door latch spring, the door interlock or the pcb itself is faulty. A failing door interlock is a very common cause of pcb failure.

If there was a lot of water coming out of the filter then the machine has not drained correctly. Did you remove the pump filter completely and check for any obstructions inside the pump?
There should be an emergency door release, it is a green, plastic tab close to the pump filter, make sure all the water is out and the power is off to the machine before you try and pull it.
Re: aquarius tvm570 dryer door lock and power switch
Allowing for it being the weekend most of the trade members who do read the public forums will tend to avoid threads when they read ‘wires removed’ but machine still being used and also ‘door taped up’. :rolls:
Can only suggest you replace the faulty switch first and then the door lock if it still doesn’t work.
Re: WMTL79 bearing failure or drum failure?
Thankfully very few of these machines where actually sold in this area, in fact I doubt many where sold in total compared to front loaders.
There will be very little in the way of experience or advice available due to that and the fact the machine is ‘apparently’ a pain to work on.
From what I can gather you have to remove one of the screws holding the crosspiece and then insert a 5mm screw, part number 995505201 through one of the holes in the pulley into the hole in the crosspiece that you have removed the screw from to secure the inner drum and allow pulley removal.
Frankly a bearing job on these is something I would flatly refuse to attempt, especially as there are already many parts listed as obsolete. 🙁
Re: hotpoint wd420 washer drier flashing lights!
10 years out of one of these is very good going. A new pcb will cost £100 and need a £20 smart card and a £103 card reader to programme the pcb. That is if you wanted to attempt the repair yourself. you could try and get the pcb repaired but in all honesty I think you should give it the last rites. 🙁
