Re: zanussi zwf1632w washer wont move on to next step in pro

Hi, motor wiring is good. I’m starting to think its the pcb but ive seen main boards and timers advertised. Mine only seems to have the power (front facia pcb) and another pcb. When i look at the pictures of the advertised timer and main pcb they both look like the one i have but the timer is about £30 cheaper.

I’m about to give up on finding the fault but i dont like to be beaten, any last advice. I cant change timer or main pcb to find out the problem still exists. My pcb is too new for my local place to run through a test software program. By the way they dont make/sell these machines anymore, wonder why…………..

Cheers

Hi, just an update. I had my motor in to get tested today with a megger and it is OK.
Is there anything else that can give off the same fault code which was identified on this forum in previous posts. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Have done the multimeter test and it read 1 at beginning of the test and didn’t move at all regardless of which multi plug connection i was testing. Think i will remove motor and get it tested properly at work.

Any idea if these motors are readily available/common to other machines. Its a 1600 rpm. It has 9 pins on multi plug and is type-20584.603 AC-EL. CL.B/F Manufacturer – ACC

Now i think about it its a multimeter not a megger, DOH!

Can i test the motor with the multimeter, if so, please explain how.

Cheers

New motors are expensive…bummer!!

I have a megger but am not brilliant with it, any pointers as to which way to check the armature etc greatly appreciated. ie, which pin in the multi plug and does the machine need to be on performing a wash, see told you i’m not much good with these things 😆

Confused…….. Washing completed a full cycle last night but tripped again this morning. It seemed to begin a fast spin from standstill and tripped about 1 second into ramp up to speed.

Could this be a drum inbalance problem. Does anyone know how to check.

Does the 2 flash/beep on start/pause and 5 on the end light point to a specific fault during diagnostics.

Hi Ghandh1,
i cleaned out the rubber hose from the drum to the drain pump and the hose from drain pump to drain. There was some money (nice) and some wire from wifes underware………..

Checked motor brushes (bout 1″ or more carbon left) and plenty of tension on brush springs.

Tried a wash again and it got stuck towards the end of the wash cycle again.

Is the light for the filter always meant to be red when illuminated to show a fault, in other words it only normally illuminates when a fault exists.

Still getting 2 flash/beeps on pause/start and 5 on end light. What does this mean?

Motors fine, drain is fine, door lock is fine, filling is fine, it heats the water OK, it spins (variable and full speed) and it empties. Why wont it advance to the next step after a wash???.

There is a drum inbalance mechanism, could this be at fault, where/what do i look for? Is there a check i can do to check the pressure switch.

Thanks for your help

Scott

Thanks for the advice.

The machine is in utility room, heated and dry.

Is the fluff filter in the drain hose to from the drum to pump? Will check this out as well as carbon brushes on motor this weekend as the machine does alot of work for its age.

My wife has just said she thinks the clothes are coming out wetter than they used to indicating maybe it isn’t on full speed spin or maybe nor draining as well as it should.

When you say turn dial to position 10, it hasnt got a dial. Can i do it by setting up a wash cycle then skipping steps until only end light is on???

Cheers

No digital display on this model just buttons and lights. Hence no error codes just beeps and light flashes. You find out how to access error tests etc by searching the web as i have. Cant interprit them and would be greatful if someone who has access to them to help me here if possible.

PCB was the main board or timer not the one behind the front facia. Any ideas??
