All faults are divided into rare and typical. In 90% of cases, they do not cause any particular difficulties, and many masters do the repair of the Zanussi washing machine with their own hands. Identify and eliminate complex failures caused by the actions of the owner, manufacturer or installer, can a qualified specialist. Typical malfunctions that caused the unit to malfunction and require user or master intervention are discussed in this section.
The drum does not move
Users of branded equipment often have to face a problem when there is no drum rotation when loading parameters. Such troubles can be explained by the failure of the belt or motor.
If the consumer is in no hurry to call a specialist and decided to repair the Zanussi washing machine with his own hands, it is required to check the free movement of the drum torque by rotating it in different directions. In the absence of third-party sounds, the belt tension is checked. The process is to remove the side panel of the device. While maintaining the integrity of the belt and high-quality tension, check the rotation of the motor pulley. If there are breakages at this stage, it is better to call the wizard.
Hatch lock
After a successful loading of linen, imported devices often refuse to return it to the user. Problems with a jammed sunroof are caused by the interlock to be replaced. If necessary, to urgently get laundry, you can repair the washing machines with your own hands or entrust the work to the master.
- It is necessary to remove the lower plastic panel and find in the lower right corner, near the filter, a bright red cable for emergency opening of the device. It is enough to file it on yourself and open the locked hatch.
- In the absence of a cable, the upper panel is removed and the locking device breaks.
At the subsequent start-up, the Zanussi automatic washing machine must be locked with a hatch - during operation, the door will involuntarily open. Ignoring this item will cause more complicated repairs.
Machine drain
If, when you turn on the device, it draws water and immediately releases it before washing, the reason is the incorrect installation and connection of the device, defects in the drain pipe.
A preliminary check is to raise the drain hose to a level of 50-70 cm and turn on the washing mode. In the absence of normal operation, replace the pump or check the electronic module. A more accurate reason will be established by a washing machine repair technician who arrives on a call with professional diagnostic equipment.
No water is collected
Lack of recruitment or slow entry is caused by prolonged use or low pressure in the water supply. The occurrence of the problem is affected by a low level of fluid intake from the central line or a slow flow.
Check the pressure in the water supply and the position of the valve (open / closed). The filter system may be clogged. For cleaning, you will need to remove the supply pipe (on the back of the device) and remove the net with pliers.
If there is contamination, the filter is washed under running water and replaced. If the repair of the Zanussi washing machine with your own hands did not give results, you should use the services of a specialized service. Possible damage to the filler valve or lack of power. Additionally, a water level sensor or a modular system is checked.
Speeds
A similar problem has characteristic features: a series of smooth rotations of the tank takes place and momentum is gained. In some cases, the device vibrates violently with increasing drum speed. Breakage is in the collector motor or power circuit. Separately, problems with the module are considered. Magnet spinning or contact oxidation is possible. If you have experience in the field of servicing imported units, you can try to repair the Zanussi washing machine yourself. If in doubt, it is recommended that you contact a professional.
No water heating
When a heating element burns out, a new product is installed only if its capacity is similar. To remove a failed heater, the side panel is removed and the bottom of the tank is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the flange. When loosening the nut, it is not recommended to remove it. It is necessary to press down the fastener so that it fits tightly into the flange with the bolt. Having weakened fastening, it is possible to take out TEN. It is not recommended to make sharp jerks at this stage, this can harm plastic parts.
If the heater is in working condition, the reasons for incorrect operation of the unit can be caused by a faulty thermostat or heater relay contacts. If there are difficulties in determining the breakdown, further actions usually consist in contacting a professional service specialist. A repairman for washing machines will carry out work at the place of use of the equipment.
Puddle formation
Typical failures include problems with key parts.
- Failure of the pipe.
- The formation of cracks in the cuffs of the hatch.
- Poor delivery gasket.
- Leaky drum.
Replacing the gasket of the supply pipe is carried out independently. And for other types of repairs should contact the master.
Error Codes
E11 - lack of water supply during operation. An error is possible if in 10 minutes the amount of water in the tank does not reach the set mark. The fault usually lies in the water tap. With the necessary tools, knowledge and experience, it will not be difficult for users to repair their washing machines with their own hands. It is required to check the water pressure, the integrity of the tubes and the absence of clogging in the grid. The resistance of the valve coil is measured (the optimum parameter is 3.8 kΞ©).
E12 - a problem with the flow of water during drying. If the water intake valve fails, the code knocks out after 10 minutes. operation.
E21 - lack of discharge. It is necessary to clean the filter and check for dirt in the nozzles. Check the operation of the impeller for the drain pump. If there is no free play, a replacement is required.
E22 - insufficient level of water discharge in the drying mode. Capacitor cleaning required.
Spin rumble
If the unit rumbles during washing or spinning, suspend operation and check the noise source. If the course is difficult, search for the cause in the bearing.
If the Zanussi washing machine is out of order, the instructions for self-replacing bearings will save money and gain experience in servicing imported equipment. The technology considered below is also ideal for servicing the Electrolux equipment. Main stages:
- Side panels are removed. To do this, unscrew the screws located on the back wall of the device.
- The bearings are changed from the side where there is no pulley. The screw on the drum axis is loosened. On the tank support there are 2 arrows marked: Close and Open, they indicate the direction of the torque for screwing in or out the support. Left and right parts are placed on different sides.
- The bearing replacement of the Zanussi washing machine is carried out by means of a puller. The support unit is equipped with a right-hand thread and unscrews in the opposite direction. After removing it, clean the stuffing box and drum shaft from contamination.
- Depending on the spin speed, the machine is equipped with Cod.098 (099) parts with a 6203 unit and VRING VA22 rubber (with a spin of up to 1000 rpm). When marking Cod.061 (062), it is required to replace the supports of rotating parts under the number 6204 and the oil seal 30x46.8x8.7 / 13 (for an extraction of 1000 rpm).
- Before placing the purchased caliper, grease the oil seal liberally. This will be the lubricant offered in the seal kit.
- After placing a new part, it is preliminarily scrolled in the Close direction.
Regardless of the type of apparatus, whether it is an Electrolux appliance or a Zanussi washing machine, instructions for reassembling parts require special attention to the gasket. The presence of distortions is excluded, because this will cause a decrease in the tightness of the container. When tightening the assembly, it is not recommended to exert much effort. The plastic thread and calipers have self-locking properties.
Pulley-side assembly
Stages of work:
- The drive belt is removed.
- The screw is loosened and the pulley is removed.
- The ground plate is disconnected.
- The support is twisted (to the right).
- Has some features of the operation "Zanussi" (washing machine). Vertical loading of the device requires regular cleaning of the stuffing box and drum shaft.
- The oil seal is lubricated.
- A new caliper is mounted, it must be twisted in the Close direction.
- Grounding and a pulley are fixed, fixed screw connection. For maximum thread locking, use Loctite glue.
- The drum drive belt is installed.
- Side panels are reset.
Inaccurate handling of the device will cause further malfunctions of the Zanussi washing machine. If all work is done correctly, it remains to check the device in operation. The first start after repair is done without laundry - for washing the product.
