Re: Zanussi FS1255W won’t drain
Just to add an update to this.
Received the PCB back from QED exactly one week after it was sent (Saturday to Saturday). Although not notification that the PCB was received/repaired/resent, there was a slip enclosed saying that it had been repaired and a new pump would also be needed. Through a lot of ringing around and research everyone said that the pump part number was the one I already had, so reconnected everything up and away I went.
Everything is now working as expected 🙂
Re: Zanussi FS1255W won’t drain
There’s only two red wires attached to the pump. Both wires run up the side and directly to the PCB. Since both wires are red.. it doesn’t seem like there is a neutral.
I sent the PCB off to QER on Saturday – but have yet to receive anything back from them (either acknowledgement or the PCB back). I hope they can fix it.
Re: Zanussi FS1255W won’t drain
Thanks for the reply. I’ve since gotten hold of a new pump, part M113, just like the one on the UKWG website. Unfortunately, it’s still not working. The difference I’ve noticed is that there seems to be an extra component on in it and a terminal located in the middle and end rather than at both ends.
The old pump has some brown marks on the coils – where it looks to have maybe overheated or something. However, using a multimeter, it still measures a closed circuit. There is also a slight resistance when turning too, like the magnets are gripping. It’s stronger on the new pump though.
I’ve checked the wires for continuity all the way up to the PCB- which are fine too. The only thing I can think of is that it’s to do with the PCB? It seems like it’s not activating the pump at all? However, everything else appears to works besides the point when it comes to activating the pump. I’ve tried running the new pump outside the washing machine (the old pump was in at the time). At no point did the pump make any noises or turn at all.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
