    Re: Anyone know anything about these ? manufacturer etc ?

    lol looks that way but its for an elderly customer washes once a week and health wise is unlikely to see out the 12 month warranty. She’s basically looking for something cheap that’ll work…

    wasn’t this the model where the return air vent was adjacent to the water cooler and they froze solid?

    Re: Zanussi ZDF 221 – door will not shut, leaking water…

    Just remembered something else that happened to these, if you jerked open the door the catch could ride over the lock mechanism without the lock actually disengaging. Turn the power off( pull the plug ) and look at the latch if you can see its still in the locked position you can pop it to open using a small screwdriver.

    check the rubber seal going around the tank where it meets the door is pressed fully home into its groove sometimes they stick to the door you open the door which pulls it forward so when you go to close the door again the seal stops it.

    Absolutely correct, the self diagnosis cycle which takes place before any programme is initiated would detect the closed contact on the relay and abort the cycle giving you the flashing light fault indicator.I know its always bad news to find a component failure’s likely to cost you a few quid but thats the untold cost of consumers forcing down the ” Real ” purchase cost of appliances. Build quality and component quality ultimately suffer.

    the light flashing suggests ” Heater relay stuck ” this is mounted on the main PCB. Unfortunately you can’t just buy one and fit it on this appliance you would also need to buy a software chip called an EEPROM, get this fitted to the new PCB and programmed with the correct software. Sorry to say this is a job for an engineer not a DIY buff as your unlikely to have the computer interface needed to programme the chip.

    Re: Wma 32 will not spin at full speed

    This is quite an early one they were really prone to motor loom problems as it rubbed on the front weight might be an idea to run your fingers over the loom wires individually see if you can find a ” lump ” this is likely to be an internal break. Motor start to ramp up, you get a bit wobble, wire disconnects internally and the cycle repeats…

    Re: LG WM-12341FD

    LCD ( liquid crystal display ) is by design a dark display, think about the old calculators, in poor light you couldn’t see them. The display in your machine’s the same. to overcome this problem the display modules are ” backlit ” by small bulbs to make it easier to read. In your case it’ll be one of two faults, 1- the bulb has burnt out in which case you need to replace the display module or 2- there’s dry solder joints on the module so the bulbs aren’t getting a feed. If your tech knowlage is up to it it’d be worth taking it out and resoldering any dodgey looking contacts if not its back to replace the display module.
