My Zanussi ZWF1430W won't take fabric conditioner from drawer - it washes and spins okay on all programmes.

  • debirymer May 20, 2009

    My Zanissi ZWF1437W has just started with the same fault! It is working fine but will not empty out the fabric conditioner and the drawer does not seem to fill on the final rinse to flush it out. I regularly remove the drawer to clean it and hace scrubbed as much as I can in the drawer with a brush.

    I also cannot see how the drawer actually should empty!

Sometimes the drawer gets blocked with congealed fabric conditioner and or old soap powder, try removing the drawer and giving it a good wash. An old toothbrush is useful to get in the small areas. To remove the drawer: Pull the drawer out as far as possible, there is a small depression on the left hand side at the top of the drawer, about the size of a fingertip press the depression to release the drawer, and pull the drawer out. To relocate, line the drawer up, and place the long thin piece of plastic on the left hand side in the corresponding slot in the top of the drawer opening, you might have to kneel down to see it and slide the drawer in, you might have to press the depression again to pushe it home.

This is probably due to a build up of residue of softener. Remove the drawer, strip the bits off, and clean with a toothbrush. Then replace, and this should solve the problem.

Zanussi FLA1201W

Remove the entire drawer, place in hot soapy water with a bit of bleach. Use an old toothbrush, cotton buds or something similar (pipe cleaners/cable ties would do the trick, too) to clean out all the little grooves, channels and little pipes. Ideally, do this about every 6 weeks, if you can remember.

While you have the drawer out, you'll probably notice in the drawer a build-up of horrble black mouldy gunk (yes, a technical term). You need to clean this out, and maybe use your chosen proddy thing (cotton bud, etc) to clean out the holes and channels on the roof of the cavity.

Put the machine onto a rinse programme, hopefully this should solve the problem. Good luck :)

Zanussi ZWF1437W washing machine - wont start

The error message "Err" usually indicates that the wash program and option are not compatible. 40 degrees and 900 rpm Spin should be o.k.. I would try another wash program with no special options and see if the problem goes away.
