  If your Zanussi Washer isn't filling with water, first, verify that the water tap is fully open. Check that the water supply pressure is adequate (contact your local water authority for information). Inspect the inlet hose for kinks, damages, or bends and ensure it's correctly connected. Also, make sure the inlet hose filter and valve filter are not clogged. This problem can also occur due to a clogged drain circuit; in that case, please contact the Authorised Service Centre.

  If your Zanussi Washer doesn't start, make sure the door is firmly closed. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the power socket and that there is power at the socket. Also, verify that the main fuse hasn't blown. Ensure the selector dial is correctly positioned and the Start button has been pressed again. If a delay start has been selected and you want to wash immediately, cancel the delay start.

  If your Zanussi Washer isn't emptying or spinning, check the drain hose for any kinks or squashed sections.

  If you're getting unsatisfactory washing results from your Zanussi Washer, try increasing the amount of detergent or switching to a different brand. For stubborn stains, pretreat them with special stain removal products before washing. Ensure that you're setting the correct water temperature for the load. Also, avoid overloading the machine by decreasing the laundry load size.
