Re: zanussi fjd1666w not filling with water
😆 😆 😆 Washing machine now working fine.
Removed all plugs from circuit board. Blew compressed air down ends of all plugs and cleaned all contacts on pcb with RS cotton buds dipped in contact cleaner(solvent). Refiited all plugs back onto circuit board and fired machine up. All working a treat so far 3 washes completed. Thanks to all members that gave advice/info.Re: zanussi fjd1666w not filling with water
OK managed to test the white pressure switch with multimeter while blowing down tube. Ist click anti boiling level went from open to closed circuit. 2nd click after a bit more blowing 1st level sensor went from open to closed circuit. Switch seems to be working OK. Managed to find a friend with same model washing machine as me so in luck i thought. Swapped both his pressure switches out and put in my machine but still not working so looks like it is either earth leak on heater or main pcb faulty. Will test heater on return to work with megger and hope that it fails as heater will be a lot cheaper than replacement board.
Re: zanussi fjd1666w not filling with water
gandh1 no it is deffo failing on test 7 and not at start of 8 because you have to manually press the button to start each diagnostic test. Dont think the drainage is a problem as i have half filled the machine with water using diagnostic test 1 then drained it and the water comes out as normal. Do you know if the big white pressure sensor is normally open or closed resistance as when i blow into it i hear it click and the resistance changes across two of the contacts but there are six wires on the sensor(two grey and one blue on one plug then two greys and a white on the other plug). My small black pressure sensor has three orange wires on it but i dont want to blow air in it to check as you said they dont like it.
Re: zanussi fjd1666w not filling with water
gandh1 thanks for reply. I cant get hold of my megger till I go back to work in new year so im stuck washing clothes round the in laws till then.
What I cant understand is that the machine passes test 5 in the diagnostic menu which is the heater test. The heter is working as I can feel the door is warm during the test and the water when drained is warm. Also I have the machine plugged direct into into a 30ma power breaker and it does not trip. The machine fails (E33) on test 7 which is when the pressure sensors are tested and max full spin which is why I thought it might be a pressure sensor fault. Looking forward to any other advice anyone can give till i get my megger.
