What to Check When a Zanussi Washer Is Not Filling
First, check that the inlet hose is not crushed and the faucet is open. Then clean the inlet screen, close the door, and test the valve last.
Unplug the washer and close the water faucet before removing the inlet hose.
Check the Inlet Hose Behind the Washer
Pull the washer forward slightly and remove any bend from the hose. Replace the hose if it is cracked, swollen, or leaking.
A damaged hose may needs replacing even when a small amount of water still passes.
Open the Water Faucet
Turn the faucet fully open and check another tap for good pressure. A partly closed faucet are easy to overlook.
These check quickly tells you whether water is reaching the washer.
Clean the Inlet Screen
With power and water off, remove the hose and gently rinse dirt from the small screen at the washer connection. Do not push the screen deeper with a sharp tool.
If the screen is already clean, make sure the door closes before suspecting the inlet valve.
Close the Door Properly
Check the door edge for clothing caught in the seal. Wipe the latch and close the door gently, because the washer may wait for it to lock before filling.
There may be small item caught near the edge.
Have the Inlet Valve Tested
The inlet valve opens to let water enter. If the home supply is good but the drum stays dry, the valve or its control may be faulty.
There is several electrical checks needed, so ask a technician to confirm the problem.
