Re: zanussi alrm code 7
Thanks Martin,
that has been confirmed by ‘Penguin45’ whose email I’ll quote here for anyone else with similar problems:
“The single commonest problem with these is failure to drain. The one motor
circulates in one direction and drains in the other. The plastic drive shaft
cracks and you lose drive to the impellor. After a certain amount of time,
the computer “times out”, and the fault code appears. Unfortunately
(shamefully in my opinion) the drive shaft is only supplied as part of the
main motor, which (from memory) is about £65 + VAT. You can access the motor
from the back panel, remove cover and unscrew bracket, motor should pull out
tpwards you. You can effect a temporary repair with super glue and thread,
but it doesn’t last. Also, in three years time, the new motor will do
exactly the same. Time to buy a Bosch?”
Look like all those directional changes take their toll on the PLASTIC motor shaft. 🙄
