Zanussi Washer Dryer Wont Fill
I acquired this machine to try and fix! Model number ZKN7147J. Machine wont fill upon start. If i manually fill it with a bucket, the valves then kick in to top up. The program carries on, spins out but then wont fill again for the rinse. Water is taken in for the dryer though. It also took in water for the 90 degree wash cool down??!! I have had the machine apart today, cleaned all pipes and filters. Ive checked all wiring also. Im guessing it needs a new inlet valve but feel its not really worth it for the age of the machine. Anyone any ideas? Could it be the PCB? Thanks in advance.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Zanussi ZKN7147J washer dryer not filling on wash/rinse
- The problem
- Zanussi washer dryer ZKN7147J would not fill at the start of a wash. If manually filled, the inlet valves would then top up and the cycle continued, but it would not fill again for the rinse. Water intake for the dryer function was reported to work, and it also took in water during the 90 degree wash cool-down.
- Likely cause
- Most likely a faulty coil on a double or triple solenoid water inlet valve, with one solenoid open circuit. A PCB fault was mentioned by the poster but was not supported by the accepted reply.
- What fixed it
- Isolate the appliance and check continuity of all water-valve solenoids. They should read similarly; an open-circuit coil would indicate a faulty inlet valve assembly or solenoid section. The exact repair carried out was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Cleaned pipes and filters
- Checked wiring
- Compare continuity of all water inlet solenoids
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Water inlet valve
- Double or triple solenoid valve
Safety: Disconnect the machine from the electricity supply before checking components. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If it's a double or triple solenoid water valve one of the coils could be open circuit. Disconnect the machine and check the continuity of all the water solenoids which should be the same.
