Zanussi ZSF4123 dishwasher cold water problem
Hi guys,
Looking for some advice about my dishwasher that has suddenly stopped heating the water. It seems to operate ok but the water is stone cold and the tablet is semi-dissolved at the end of the washing cycle. Does this point to the heating element or are there other possible reasons for this? Any help appreciated . Todd. |

Zanussi ZSF4123 dishwasher cold water problem
Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the info. I am going to take it apart a bit tonight to investigate... anything I should look out for ? Is the PCB in the door (behind the buttons) or located elsewhere? Regards Todd |

Is the PCB in the door (behind the buttons) or located elsewhere? Usually behind the controls on the door. I haven't got a drawing for this one so can't tell you exactly where the stat is but I would start at the stat and heater, check for power and continuity. Hopefully it will be the stat at fault, as it's the cheapest of the 3 aforementioned parts at 12 quid! Beware that there will be voltages where and when you don't expect them inside appliances, excercise extreme caution to prolong your health! -- Regards, Stuart. Hi again Stuart, Ok, I've had a quick look inside the door panel. I can see a white box that is the control unit (buttons on the outside) and thats about it in there. No obvious PCB, although I assume its wrapped up in the white box. Do you think the thermostate is likely to be in the door unit somewhere or could it be in the sides/back of the appliance ? Im loathed to take it all apart searching. Thanks agan for your help Todd. |

Zanussi ZSF4123 dishwasher cold water problem
Hi Stuart,
Thanks for you reply. I'll call someone out. As you say, it probably won't be too expensive. Im not massively electrical (Im a games programmer by trade) but hate the fact that kitchen appliances seem to be engineered to last just a few years (this dishwasher is just 2years old). Usually I just take the item apart and observe. Watch and look for the fault, then just buy the replacement part. Its worked for my washing machines 4 times (motor brushes, door latch, condensor unit, mounting bolds sheared) and my cooker (thermostate blew).... In this case Im loathed to take it all apart since I don't think I'll see the fault. Calling engineer now... Thanks again Todd |

Hi Stuart,
Just to finish off (and maybe get the part required). The engineer came out and identified it as a failed PCB. It was £159 but he suggested he repaired it (soldered) as a short term fix allowing me to buy the part myself. That 'temporary' fix has now failed so Im after the part. Do you happen to know where I can buy it ? I believe it is an EDW11 for a ZSF4123. Thanks for any info. Todd |
