Finding & Clearing Error Codes on a Zanussi Jet System Washer Dryer

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to find hidden error codes in the software of a Zanussi Jet System Washer Dryer (7 kg model). This tutorial also applies to some other washers with similar circuit boards. We will explain what the error codes mean and show you how to enter diagnostic mode to check major components.

We tried to be concise and give brief information on this guide, so we would recommend you watch our video since we're showing you how easily you can clear the error codes from Zanussi washer dryers and washing machines or any other Electrolux group product.

Finding the Error Code

To find the error code, begin by setting the program dial to position 10. Each program corresponds to a specific position, with 90 being position 1 and 40 being position 10. Next, hold the "Rinse Extra" and "Start" buttons simultaneously. The machine will display an error code, such as E21. In this example, the E21 code indicates that the machine was unable to empty within the allocated time during the wash cycle, suggesting a blockage in the filter unit or sump hose. Once you clear the blockage, your problem will vanish.

Entering Diagnostic Mode

Ensure the drum is empty and remain nearby during the diagnostic process to monitor the machine. To access diagnostic mode, turn the program dial to position 1 and press and hold the "Rinse Extra" and "Start Pause" buttons simultaneously until the LEDs start flashing. Navigate the diagnostic mode by turning the dial to different positions, such as position 10, to display the last error code.

For models without LED displays, the machine may use a sequence of flashing lights to indicate error codes. For instance, two red flashes followed by one green flash represents the code E21.

Clearing the Error Code & Running Diagnostic Tests

To clear the error code, press the "Rinse Extra" and "Pause" buttons until the LEDs flash and display "E0," indicating no error. Verify that the error code has been cleared by turning the program dial from the off position to position 10 and pressing the two buttons again.

In diagnostic mode, various positions on the program dial correspond to different tests. Position 1 checks that all lights and functions are working correctly. Positions 2 to 4 test individual water valves, displaying water levels and ensuring proper operation. Position 5 activates the circulation pump and heater, allowing you to observe temperature rise and power consumption.

Position 6 tests drum rotation at different RPMs, ensuring there are no leaks and that the motor functions correctly. Position 7 drains the water and spins the drum at high RPMs, potentially up to 1400 RPM. Position 8 activates dryer components and checks air temperatures. Finally, returning to position 10 displays the last recorded error code, confirming the previous steps have cleared it.

Please remember that the whole video includes step-by-step and detailed explanations, which may help you reduce your repair time.
