Zwc 1300 Compact Washer
Machine would not switch on yesterday, no lights on display. Fuse OK and socket OK. Today everything works OK. Thought it might be door interlock but having tried it today, door being open does not prevent lights coming on when programme selected, just stops machine from starting. My thoughts are programmer/electronics unit.
Any other thoughts?
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Zwc 1300 Compact Washer intermittently dead with no display lights
- The problem
- The Zwc 1300 Compact Washer would not switch on on one occasion, with no lights on the display. The fuse and socket were reported as OK. The following day the machine powered up and worked normally. The door interlock was considered by the owner, but they observed that with the door open the display lights still come on when a programme is selected, and only the start of the cycle is prevented.
- Likely cause
- An intermittent electrical or control fault was suspected by the owner, possibly in the programmer/electronics unit, but the discussion does not confirm a specific failed part or cause.
- What fixed it
- No specific repair was documented. The accepted advice was to carry out general basic checks and, if the fault recurs or cannot be identified, have the appliance inspected by an engineer.
- Checks to try
- Fuse checked OK
- Socket checked OK
- Observed that door open does not stop display lights coming on, only stops the machine starting
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
