All malfunctions are divided into rare and typical. In 90% of cases, they do not cause any particular difficulties, and many craftsmen repair the Zanussi washing machine with their own hands. Complex breakdowns caused by the actions of the owner, manufacturer or installer can be identified and repaired by a qualified specialist. Typical malfunctions that caused the unit to malfunction and require the intervention of the consumer or the master are discussed in this section.
Drum does not move
Users of branded equipment often have to deal with the problem when the drum does not rotate 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 decides to repair the Zanussi washing machine with his own hands, it is required to check the free play of the drum torque by rotating it in different directions. In the absence of third-party sounds, the belt tension is checked. The process consists in removing the side panel of the device. While maintaining the integrity of the belt and qualitytension, you need to check the rotation of the motor pulley. If there are breakdowns at this stage, it is better to call the master.
Sunroof lock
After successful loading of linen, imported machines often refuse to return it to the user. Problems with a jammed sunroof are caused by a blocker that needs to be replaced. If you need to urgently get linen, you can repair 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 apply it to yourself and open the blocked hatch.
- If the cable is missing, the top panel is removed and the blocking device breaks.
At the next start, the Zanussi automatic washing machine must be locked with a hatch - during operation, the door will involuntarily open. Ignoring this item will cause a more difficult repair.
Self-draining machine
If, when the device is turned on, it draws water and immediately drains, before washing, the reason is 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. If there is no normal operation, the pump should be replaced or the electronic module checked. A more precise reason will be established by a washing machine repairman who arrives on a call with professional diagnostic equipment.
No water draws up
Lack of set or slow flow is caused by long-term operation or low pressure in the water supply. The problem is caused by low fluid intake from the central line or slow supply.
You should check the presence of pressure in the water supply and the position of the valve (open / closed). The filtration system may be clogged. For cleaning, you will need to remove the supply pipe (on the back of the device) and remove the mesh with pliers.
If there is contamination, the filter is washed under running water and reinstalled. 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. The filling valve may be broken or the power supply may not be available. Additionally, the water level sensor or modular system is checked.
Increased RPM
Such a problem has characteristic signs: a series of smooth rotations of the tank is made and momentum is gaining. In some cases, the device vibrates strongly when the speed of the drum increases. The breakdown lies in the collector motor or the power circuit. Problems with the module are considered separately. It is possible to unwind the magnet or oxidize the contact. If you have experience in servicing imported units, you can try to repair the Zanussi washing machine with your own hands. If in doubt, it is recommended to contact professionals.
No water heating
When the heating element burns out, installation of a new productproduced only if its power is similar. To remove the failed heating element, the side panel is removed and an overview of the lower part of the tank is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the flange. When unscrewing the nut, it is not recommended to remove it. The fastener should be pressed down so that it fits snugly into the flange with the bolt. Having loosened the mount, you can remove the heating element. At this stage, it is not recommended to make sharp jerks, this can harm the plastic parts.
If the heating element is in working order, the reasons for the incorrect operation of the unit may be caused by a faulty thermostat or heater relay contacts. If there are difficulties in determining the breakdown, further actions usually consist of contacting professional service specialists. A washing machine repairman will carry out work at the place of use of the equipment.
Puddle formation
Typical breakdowns include problems with major parts.
- Failure of the branch pipe.
- Cracking on the cuffs of the hatch.
- Poor quality inlet pipe gasket.
- Drum leak.
Replacement of the gasket of the supply pipe is done independently. And for other types of repairs, you should contact the master.
Error codes
E11 - lack of water supply during operation. An error is possible if in 10 minutes. operation, the amount of water in the tank does not reach the set mark. The fault is usually in the faucet.water supply. With the necessary tools, knowledge and experience, it will not be difficult for users to repair washing machines with their own hands. It is required to check the water pressure, the integrity of the tubes and the absence of blockages in the grid. The resistance of the valve coil is measured (the optimal parameter is 3.8 kOhm).
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 - no drain. It is required to clean the filter and check for contamination in the nozzles. It is necessary to check the operation of the impeller of the drain pump. If there is no free play, it will need to be replaced.
E22 - insufficient water drain level in drying mode. Condenser cleaning required.
Rumble when spinning
If the machine rumbles when washing or spinning, you need to stop working and check the source of the noise. If the movement is difficult, you should look for the cause in the bearing.
If the Zanussi washing machine is out of order - instructions for self-replacing bearings will save money and gain experience in servicing imported equipment. The technology discussed below is ideal for servicing Electrolux equipment. Milestones:
- Removable side panels. To do this, unscrew the screws located on the rear wall of the device.
- Bearings are changed from the side where there is no pulley. The screw on the drum axle is unscrewed. There are 2 arrows on the tank support: Close andOpen, they indicate the direction of torque to screw in or unscrew the caliper. Left-hand and right-hand parts are placed on different sides.
- Replacing the bearing of the Zanussi washing machine is carried out using a puller. The support assembly is equipped with a right-hand thread and unscrews in the opposite direction. After removing it, clean the area where the stuffing box is located and the drum shaft from dirt.
- Depending on the spin speed, the machine is equipped with parts Cod.098 (099) with knot 6203 and VRING VA22 rubber (when spinning up to 1000 rpm). When marking Cod.061 (062), it is required to replace the bearings of rotating parts under the number 6204 and the oil seal 30x46, 8x8, 7/13 (when spinning from 1000 rpm.).
- Before placing the purchased caliper, generously lubricate the oil seal. This will be done using the lubricant provided in the seal kit.
- After placing a new part, it is scrolled in the Close direction.
Regardless of the type of apparatus, whether it is Electrolux appliances or a Zanussi washing machine, the instructions for reassembling parts require special attention to the seal. The presence of distortions is excluded, because this will cause a decrease in the tightness of the container. When tightening the knot, it is not recommended to apply great efforts. The threads are plastic and the calipers have self-tightening properties.
Changing knots on the pulley side
Stagesworks:
- Removing the drive belt.
- The screw is unscrewed and the pulley is removed.
- The ground plate is being detached.
- The caliper is unscrewed (to the right).
- Has some features of the Zanussi operation (washing machine). Vertical loading of the machine requires regular cleaning of the stuffing box and drum shaft.
- Oil seal being lubricated.
- A new caliper is mounted, it must be screwed in the Close direction.
- Grounding and a pulley are installed, fixed with a screw connection. Loctite should be used for maximum thread retention.
- The drum drive belt is being installed.
- Reset sidebars.
Inaccurate handling of the machine will cause further malfunctions of the Zanussi washing machine. If all the work is done correctly, it remains to check the device in operation. The first start after repair is made without linen - to wash the product.
