Re: zanussi WD15 on /off switch
Thanks Penguin.
My live in ‘man about the house’. Is convinced it’s a more serious prob’ however given the fact he has never used the machine…
I reckon it is merely the on / off switch………..
Will give you an update :rolls:

Are you saying …All I have to to is replace the “push button switch?”
Re: Zanussi WD15: Mild electric shock from casing.
Have the front control panel off and can see two wires down in the area where we know the casing is live.
Problem, how do we access those wires?a) take front panel off completely?
b) tip machine on it’s side and gain access from under the machine?
Re: Zanussi WD15: Mild electric shock from casing.
Touching the casing 2″, directly above the filter door is the only part of the casing that’s ‘live’.
Now the fun begins 😳 😯 😯
Re: Zanussi WD15: Mild electric shock from casing.
There is one earth wire attached to two copper pipes under the sink, should there be more???

your sinks probably not earthed properly
That was my thought too however (silly Q alert) would that account for the shock being received by the hand touching the machine? Also the ‘shock’ was not strong enough to trip the RCD.
Re: Zanussi WD15: Mild electric shock from casing.
The machine is plugged into a new remote switch which has been checked by an electrician, he tells me the fault lies within the machine.
To the best of my knowledge the machine was fine until all the moving around.
BUT
It is possible the fault has been there for sometime and was only discovered because I had my wet hand on the sink and touched the machine.
