Hi.
Check for drain blockage, check position of the drain hose and check the pressure switch.
1) Access
the drain filter and look for drain blockage. With Zanussi front loaders this located in front at the
bottom right hand corner, there is an access door in there.Open the door, unscrew the cap and use a container to collect the water. Disconnect power before starting maintenance.
2) Check
the position of the drain hose. Make sure that the height of the hose elbow is as specified
in the manual or you get siphoning (water getting back from drain hose inside the tub) and drain does not end.
3)The machine has a
pressure
switch. It is a sensor connected to a long thin rubber hose. The
pressure switch is located in control assembly. Clean pressure hose and switch.
One way to test the pressure switch is by blowing into the switch, but
manufacturers say this must not be done as you can damage a good switch.
The
pressure switch is difficult to test in full. Testing is done either
reading voltages while machine is cycling or reading Ohms at the switch
with tub empty and full. For safety reasons I suggest users to avoid
performing tests or maintenance that must be done with power on.
Here a page about drain/spin problem.
Start
checking drain hose and drain filter.
