Zanussi washing machine fault codes

Your Zanussi washing machine plays an important role in your household tasks. It’s a huge time saver when it comes to doing laundry and it’s essential that it works optimally when you need it. However, there are some common errors that may crop up and you need to first be able to identify them. Without going through the owner’s manual, we’ve prepared this quick and easy to navigate guide on some common Zanussi washing machine fault codes, which will appear on your LCD display, and what steps you can take to resolve them.

E10

This indicates that the washer does not fill with water properly and you should ensure that the water supply valves are open as well as ensuring that the water supply lines are not bent, kinked or clogged.

E11

There are several potential causes of an E11 error code. The display of this code means that your washing machine is not filling up with water correctly during the wash phase or cycle. This could be attributed to a kinked inlet hose that’s incorrectly connected to the washing machine or is squashed, a faulty water inlet valve or the water supply to your machine not being switched on enough.

E13

This indicates that your washing machine is leaking from somewhere and the leak detection system will show an error code of E13. The cause of the leak will need to be determined in addition to taking the steps of removing the water that has collected at the base and fixing the leak.

E20

This error occurs when the washing machine does not drain the water. You should check that the washer drain hose is not bent or clogged.

E21, E23 or E24

Each of these fault codes above refer to drainage problems or errors. In order to ensure your machine works properly, you should check that there are no blockages in the filter or pump, check the pump, check the pump’s wiring and connections and check there are no blockages in the pipe or spigot. It’s common for debris and dirt to accumulate and this should be cleaned up regularly to help you address Zanussi washing machine filter problems.

E33, E35, E36, E37 or E39

These error codes relate to faults in the pressure switch, which monitors the amount of water in the drum. It’s possible that either the switch itself is faulty or the hose and chamber that lead to the switch are blocked. The latter is considered a relatively minor but common problem.

E40, E41, E42, E43, E44 or E45

Any one of the abovementioned error codes indicate a problem with the door lock. In order to diagnose the problem, you should check the door lock mechanism in addition to the wiring and connections between the door lock and the main control board. Also worth checking is that there are no obstructions blocking the door from locking securely.
