Why won't my Zanussi Washer programme start?
- S
  Scott FrancoAug 19, 2025
  If your Zanussi Washer program won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the mains plug is securely connected to the socket. Check that the appliance door is fully closed and that there is no damaged fuse in the fuse box. Also, confirm that you've touched the Start/Pause button. If a delay start is set, either cancel it or wait for the countdown to finish. Deactivate the Child Lock function if it's active. Finally, verify the knob is correctly positioned on your selected program.
