Zanussi ZKN 7147 J - Manual (Page 22)

Problem Possible cause/Solution
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, re-
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
programme.
The machine makes an unusual
noise:
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise com-
pared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and
more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as
increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very
little water without affecting performance.
The machine does not dry or does
not dry properly:
The drying time or the dryness degree has not been selected.
• Select the drying time or the dryness degree.
The water tap is not turned on.
• Open the water tap.
The drain filter is clogged.
• Clean the drain filter.
The machine is overloaded.
• Reduce the laundry load in the drum.
The selected drying programme, time or dryness degree was not suitable for
the laundry.
• Select the suitable drying programme, time or dryness degree for the laun-
dry.
The laundry is full of different col-
ored fluff:
The fabrics washed in the previous cycle released fluff of a different color (refer
to “Fluff in the garments” in chapter “Use - Washing & Drying”).
• The drying phase helps to eliminate some fluff.
• Clean the clothes with a fluff remover.
In case of an excessive amount of fluff in the drum repeat the following proce-
dure twice:
• Thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet rag.
• Perform a rinse cycle.
• Put a wool or piled fabric rag inside the drum.
• Perform a drying cycle of 10 minutes.
• Remove the old wool cloth.
Now you can wash other garments.
