Re: Zanussi ZDF3023 Not Drying

Hi, Just a follow up from this (it might help someone with a similar problem) I eventually got it fixed, had to go round the houses as it were but it’s working as it should now :tup:

The story:

I thought it might be the flow-heater partially failing when called to run the ‘last hot rinse’ So bought a 3rd party unit from the bay of thieves and duly fitted it but the fault was still there, replaced original heater and sent the new one back. Lost for ideas even from the very helpful Dave on here I decided to take out an extended warranty on it through Zannusi’s support page, that done the fun started, engineer booked and arrived on the day agreed and he tested the control panel and said that the board was faulty as was the temperature sensor. new appointment booked and a week later he arrived fitted new parts and because of the length of the cycles said the only way test it was to run a normal cycle and see how it goes, after that cycle finished the fault was still there, it hadn’t gone into the drying phase, so called them again and new appointment booked for the next week to replace the two water pressure sensors, they also failed to resolve the issue, they then decided to contact Zanussi’s Tech team and they said it was likely to be the Motor/(pump?) which was ordered and another week later was duly fitted… it worked!

Apparently when the motor partially fails it will run short cycles okay but fails to finish properly on the long ones…. Anyway… it’s working okay now… phew… and breathes… 😆 Thanks Dave and of course this forum… 😉

Re: Zanussi ZDF3023 Not Drying

Hmmm very confusing… to call an engineer out would kill me finanacially at the moment… but it’s looking likely that’s the way I’m going to have to go…

Thanks again Dave you help is appreciated.

Re: Zanussi ZDF3023 Not Drying

Is it at all possible for the element to partially fail, for example could it get warm during the wash cycle but fail on the final hot rinse? Not being able to test the actual water temp while washing is a problem for me, but having just done a couple of more runs it’s hot enough to steam during the wash but then just fails to get really hot at the end/drying cycle or just before it wherever the dry heating of the water is applied. Money is quite lacking so don’t want to buy parts that are unnecessary as it were.

Thanks, that was my understanding too, which is why I thought I’d turn to those that know more than me 😉 thanks anyway.

Re: Zanussi ZDF3023 Not Drying

Hi, thanks for the tips, I haven’t changed any settings on the machine for a few years, it was working fine until yesterday, I always use Finish products except for the salt, which I usually use Asda own brand. I’ve also only used the same program which is the normal cycle, the empty run I did was on the high temp program – all of which has performed perfectly until yesterday.

Thanks for the input so far.. 🙂

Re: Zanussi ZDF3023 Not Drying

Hi, Thanks for replying.

It’s a cold water fill, and during the wash cycle it gets hot but when the cycle ends the dishes are cold and very wet.

SOLVED

I scrapped the heap of rubbish

Re: ADP4602AL flashing start light

There’s 4 flashes, I just noticed water under the machine, pulled it out removed the base plate, turned it on and water seems to be coming from the base of the drum area (big white plastic thing that the pump attaches to.)

Re: LG Intellowasher 1295FHB ‘SE’ error code

I have had a look at the sensor and can’t see anything physically wrong, everything is nice clean and dry in that area, is it likely to be just the sensor or the motor? I’ve searched google but can’t find a sensor anywhere, so does anyone have any idea where i can source one from?

just tried the machine again and it goes to the se error as soon as the drum starts to turn now.

Re: LG Intellowasher 1295FHB ‘SE’ error code

as close as damn-it yes, the full model number is WM-1295FHB

Here’s a pic of the sticker on the side of the machine (there’s nothing on the inside of the door)

Re: Whirlpool ADP4602AL

Just a wee update, got a new heater, replaced it (with proper clips) and it’s all working :tup: so thanks for your help and advice 😀

Re: Whirlpool ADP4602AL

😀 thanks that’s settled me down. I feel much more confident now :tup:

Re: Whirlpool ADP4602AL

Thanks for the response Penguin45

I thought as much, is the element easy to change? I’ve taken loads of washing machine and tumble dryers apart but never worked on a dishwasher.
