Re: Zanussi Washer/Dryer ZWD1680W – no lights/power
Hi Martin,
A big thank you for all your help in narrowing down the problem. I sent the board off to this company who repaired it for £46. The washer/dryer is now like brand new.

If you’re ever near Haworth in Yorkshire, I’ll buy you a pint.
Thanks again.

It’s the one in a white case at the top right of the machine.

Hi Martin,
The sticker on my pcb case reads:
Type: P451510135 F6660
Type E: 132156813
SW Ver: W2C01551I’ve found one for sale with the exact same numbers apart from it’s F60103 instead of F6660. Do you know if it will be compatible or not?
Cheers,
Nigel

Hi Martin,
I can see signs of overheating on the circuit board. 🙁
Re: Zanussi Washer/Dryer ZWD1680W – no lights/power
I’m not sure what I’m looking for. I took the front panel off and disconnected the wires, took out the pcb but couldn’t see anything noticeable there. I then unplugged everything from the box inside the machine at the top right and took that out. I haven’t opened it up as it looked like there was just a pcb in there.

Hi Martin,
I’ve pulled it all apart and unplugged the pcb on the front and to the side but it’s still the same. Any more suggestions?
Re: Zanussi Washer/Dryer ZWD1680W – no lights/power
Hi Martin,
Is there a power relay switch somewhere? When I turn the dial, say to spin or any setting, without pressing start, everything lights up OK as it should then after about 6 seconds the power is dead and there’s no power at all for a good 10 minutes.
Thanks,
Nigel

Ha ha, I thought I did. Here’s a video link of the result http://youtu.be/zCWTX2Vmd1o

Hi Martin,
I’ve connected all the wires back up. Turned the dial to spin and pressed start. Everything looked like it was going to work and then, click…. the power goes dead.

I’ve lent the washer backwards and looked at the motor from underneath with a bright light. I’m guessing the brushes are what look like two dark metal bits on either side of a rotary section inside. I can see that they are pressing against the centre bit as intended. I’ve attached some pictures as I may be missing something in my description.

Hi, I’ve taken the lid off and there’s a silver foil bit running front to back in the middle with several wires plugged in at the back. I’ve pulled all the wires off and now when I select a program it starts as normal but goes off after a couple of seconds into taking in water.
