Washing Machine Help Forum

Hi All,
Need a little help with my Zanussi FLE 1416. Got home from work one day to find it beeping away merrily and full of water after failing to drain. When i opened the fluff filter it was full. So i cleaned it out but since then i can't get it to run through a cycle properly. I have checked the drain is clear, the inlet filter, blown through the pressure switch line to check they are clear and heard the switch make and break. I enter the engineers menu and it told me the last fault was the fluff filter, I stepped through the engineers menu and all the different features worked. It prewashed, washed rinsed, heated the water, slow spin, high speed spin and then drained down. I switched the machine off the exit engineers mode, select a program and it starts washing and after a couple of minutes it just stops at no particular point, sometimes it will run on for about 20 minutes.
I called a local engineer in who after looking at it for 4 days told me he couldn't find anything wrong but it wouldn't run throught for him. So he brought it back and still no machine.
so I wondered if anyone out there could help me.


Thanks

Dez

Dez,
I wonder if you have reset the digiboard from the error condition? As you know how to get into the diagnostics programme, do so and as it cycles, press buttons 2 + 4 (reading from the left) together. After a few seconds you should get "E00". Restarting the machine should get you going again. If not, help required. Use the Directories section, or at least check with your repairer as to whether they are up to speed with this range of machines. Either way, tell them to sign up to UKW!

Hi Penguin,
Sorry i t's took so long to get back to you. I reset the board like you suggested and after leaving the engineers mode it ran through a cycle without any clothes. It then worked OK for 4 washes and i was back in the good books. But this morning alas it's failed again without showing any faults again.
So I've just checked and reset the fault code and set it away running again. I'll let you know how it gets on.

Seasons greeting to all
