Help needed with washing machine
Our Zanussi FJ1295 sometimes stops during it's cycle, I'd thought the
problem was an intermittent mains switch - but the problem is still there after changing the switch :-( FWIW SWMBO thinks it usually freezes between the C and D points on the cycle (this MAY be where extra water is added) and that if the timer is turned one click forward it then completes OK. My guess (based on nothing but intuition) is a dodgy water pressure switch but without any diagrams I'm in the dark. Are there any wiring, flow or logic diagram anywhere on the web? Or is anyone old and wise enough to divine what the fault is? Dave |

Does it rinse ok? ie expell the dirty water sometimes a washing machines pump gets clogged? and whats the powder draw like? quite a number of women never ever clean these out and you get a lot of gunge build up. These are just checkable ideas mind and probably are not the fault? but you never can tell. |
