  If you find water around your Zanussi Washer, it could be due to several reasons: * Too much detergent may have caused foam to overflow. Try reducing the amount of detergent you use. * The detergent might be unsuitable for machine washing. Ensure you're using a detergent specifically designed for machine washing. * The drainage U-piece may not be attached correctly. Check its attachment and correct if necessary. * The water inlet hose might be leaking. Inspect the hose and fix any leaks.

  If your Zanussi Washer isn’t rinsing or emptying, consider these possible causes: * The drain hose may be blocked or bent. Clear any blockages in the drain hose. * The object trap might be obstructed. Clean the object trap. * The out of balance detector might have been activated due to unevenly distributed washing in the drum. Redistribute the load in the drum. * The “Drain” programme or “Night Silence Plus” or “Rinse hold” option might have been selected. Change the selected programme. * The height of the drainage U-piece might be unsuitable. Adjust the height of the drainage U-piece.

  If your Zanussi Washer fills with water but empties it straight away, it might be because the drainage U-piece is fixed too low. Adjust the height of the drainage U-piece.
