Common Zanussi washing machine problems and how to troubleshoot them

Thanks to modern technology, Zanussi washing machine fault finding is a breeze. Understanding error codes might save you from the embarrassment of calling out a service technician for something as simple as a dirty filter or a door that didn't quite catch. And when your machine does need professional servicing the codes show the engineer exactly where the problem lies.

How Error Messages are Displayed

Zanussi washing machine problems, including faults and issues, can be identified through the display of fault codes in one of two ways. In Zanussi machines equipped with an LED display, you'll typically observe an E followed by two numbers. However, if your Zanussi washing machine doesn't feature a display panel, the fault code is indicated through a combination of red and green flashes on the start/stop light. Count the red flashes to determine the first number and the green ones for the second.

Understanding Error Codes

Codes are grouped according to the systems where the fault has developed:

E1 codes An error code that starts with a 1, or a single red flash followed by a number of green flashes indicates that your Zanussi washing machine problems are in some way related to water:

E2 codes All E2 codes indicate problems with drainage. This includes faults with the pump or its wiring and connections. Zanussi washing machine filter problems are also likely to show an E2 error code as a blocked filter will prevent the appliance from draining correctly.

E3 codes These relate to the pressure switch in the washing machine which monitors the amount of water in the machine.

E4 codes All E4 codes indicate problems with the door or locking mechanism. One to be aware of is E41 which simply indicates that the door is open. It's worth checking to make sure it's latched securely before calling an engineer. Other E4 codes indicate faults on the lock or the wiring between the latch and the main control panel.

E5 codes Any problem with the washing machine motor, the brushes or wiring between the control panel and the motor will show an E5 code.

E6 codes and E71 These codes relate to the heating system. Examples include

E8 and E9 codes Indicate a problem with the programming of the control panel
