aqualectric wrote:The ‘four flashes’ means F4? . This code ‘family’ is related to interlock faults. Door not closed, failed interlock or door lock triac on the PCB. The second number would give us a very close idea.
Is the new PCB an exact match? They all look identical, but the numbers on the back can differ.
Don’t buy any more parts until you have an engineer look at it. It may well be the PCB, possibly the interlock, but it also may not. There are several PCB’s for this machine as there are quite a few variants of the same model number. The PNC number is the exact type number. 😉 At this point, an engineer visit is a worthwhile option as guesswork is costly and wasteful.

Hello,

I think i may call it a day with this machine, the interlock works fine, i.e locks and unlocks with a time delay and remains locked when the start button is pressed. Before we ordered the part we searched for our model on the Zanussi website, making sure we had the correct machine number and revision (01) this gave us a choice of two main controller boards, 1 which was configurated and the other which was un-configurated (the latter being more expensive??!!) The lady at the zanussi customer services didnt have a clue about the difference between them and fobbed me off……can anyone tell me the differences please? Does it need intiating first or something? P.s the the board i replaced it with is indeed identical to the old 1.

Thanks

Ben.

aqualectric wrote:The ‘End’ led will flash first – that is the first number of the fault code. The ‘Start / Pause’ led will then flash for the second number eg: E43 will be ‘End’ led flash 4 times then ‘Start’ led flash 3 times.
Also can you clarify if you purchased and fitted a new board or refitted the old one please.

hello,

For some strange reason the machine will now not beep or flash! So i cant check to make sure it is just the end light flashing or the start / pause flashing first.

I have fitted the new board yes but with no joy, the old board is now back in place. Whilst typing this post, i have given the new board one more but try and fitted it, but still no joy.

Does this sound like a pump fault to anyone?

Hello,

Thanks for your fast reply,

The flashes are in sync with the beeping i.e. 4 beeps at the same time with 4 flashes

Thanks

Ben.
