Error codes lights 2, 4 and 7.
WASHER WILL NOT START:
Power
If your washing machine won't start, begin by looking at the power source. First of all, is the washing machine plugged in? If it is, has it tripped a circuit breaker or blown a fuse? Check and reset the breaker (or replace the fuse) if necessary.
Lid Switch
The main control for the washing machine is the switch inside the lid. If this has stopped working for some reason, your washing machine won't start. It's not especially difficult to troubleshoot this on a washing machine. You might have to open the top to access the switch. With the power on, depress the switch and listen for a click. If you don't hear one, the switch MAY BE BAD and will need to be replaced. Confirm defectiveness with a multi meter checking for continuity OHMS. An open circuit reflects a bad switch..
If the switch works but the washing machine still won't start, check to see if your washing machine has a special fuse for the lid switch. It will usually be inside the control panel. If it's blown, you'll need to replace it before the washing machine will start.
Door Interlock
The problem could be with the door interlock. If the lights come on but the machine won't start, this might well be the cause. This could either be down to the wiring that runs to the door interlock, or the door catch not activating the interlock itself.
Timer Knob
Some models of washing machine use a mechanical timer knob and won't run until the water in the machine has filled to the selected level. If the knob doesn't line up properly with the graphics on the control panel, you can try to troubleshoot the washing machine problem by advancing the timer a little. When you've done this, pull it out a little way and see if the washing machine will start properly.
Push start switch may need to be tested with a multi meter for continuity OHMS should show a closed circuit when pushed in or turned on.
The start switch on some top load washers is often part of the timer and is activated by pulling out on the timer knob. Although not normally available as a separate part, the switch can be tested for continuity with a multi-meter. You will need to remove power from the appliance and then locate the correct timer contacts as noted on the wiring diagram. On some electronic controlled models, the start switch is a momentary contact type switch located on the control console. You can test this switch for continuity with a multi-meter when the push button is held in
Overheating
If you've run several loads, one after another, without any problem but suddenly find your washing machine refuses to start, overheating could be the cause. The simple way to discover whether this is the problem is to give the machine ample time to cool down, say for a couple of hours, and then try it again. If it works fine, overheating has been the problem and you may have a motor with bad windings.
By the way my advice is free cuz God is good!
All washing machines use a motor that is responsible for spinning and agitating during the cleaning cycle. Many top load brands use a reversing motor which means the motor spins in one direction for agitating and another for spinning and draining. If the motor does not start, but makes a humming or buzzing noise then it may be defective. To verify if the motor is at fault, remove the drive and /or pump belts and then try to start the motor again. On direct drive models, you will have to disengage the pump and the direct drive coupling to the transmission. If the motor starts, then the problem is with the transmission or the pump and can be further diagnosed by reconnecting each one individually. If the motor does not start or continues to hum or buzz, then it will need to be replaced
Lastly CONTROL BOARD
If the control board does not provide the proper voltage to the drive motor, fill valve, drain motor or door lock then the washer may not start. The main control board on most washers is complicated and difficult to diagnose without proper test equipment and procedures. You can visually inspect the control for signs of electrical arcing or burned or damaged components on the board. You should use caution when replacing a control board as sometimes the burned components are caused by external component failures.
Thanks for very detailed response, didn't solve issue as machine temperamentally malfunctioning.
heres how u can go into the diagnotic on ur machine, To enter diagnostics:
Switch off the appliance
Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any one of the option buttons simultaneously
Holding down both buttons switch the appliance on by turning the programme selector one position to the right (clockwise)
Continue to hold down the START/PAUSE and option buttons until the LED begins to flash (at least 2 seconds)
In the first selector position, the operation of the buttons and the relative Led’s is checked; turning the selector knob clockwise activates the diagnostics cycle for the operation of the various components and displays any alarm conditions.
sorry but the diagnostic codes u gave bring up nothing in my search for ur model. this is the aritcle: The Zanussi washing machines and washer dryers that these error codes relate to those that use what they call the "EWM1000plus", "EWM2000evo" and "EWM3000new" boards and it's these fault codes that we will cover in this article. These are some of the most common fault codes for Zanussi washing machine models as well as other Electrolux Group produced brands such as AEG, Arthur Martin, Tricity Bendix, John Lewis and Electrolux obviously.
If these fault codes apply to your machine is should have a fascia panel on it like one of those shown below, there are fifteen known variants covering quite literally hundreds of different models sold in the UK and across the EU.
these are all the error codes I could find?
Your machine may display an error code if it has a problem. This will be displayed in one of two ways: either by a series of flashing lights on the control panel or a digital display such as this.
This error should be checked to help Identify the area of the problem Now error codes are a guide and can mislead but that should be used to check what is going on wrong.
Safety first: When you've identified the area of the problem always make sure to unplug the appliance before carrying out any work.
Now here are the typical Zanussi washing machine error codes.
Some machines may use a user code which is a basic error code of either E10 E20 or E40 and for up-to-date information and for any variances please do check our advice centre before carrying out any work.
Now the first error code we're going to look at is E10 E11 or E12.
These error codes may indicate that the problem lies with the filling of the machine and the machine is not happy with the filling. This may be due to a blocked or trapped pipe or a problem with the valves. or if the machine is filling it may be a problem with the pressure switch or a blocked pressure switch hose.
Error E21 E22 E23 and E24 indicate that the problem lies with the draining of the machine.
This is most likely caused by a blockage so check the filter and the pump behind for any debris that might be stuck. This may also be due to a block to pump or a broken control.
Error E30 and error E31 indicate a problem in the door lock. Make sure that the door is closing correctly and check the door lock and connections for any damage.
Now E33 and E37 indicate there may be a problem with the sensors. now this may relate to the pressure sensor here or the water temperature sensor located on the drum.
Now errors E40 through to E45 relates to the door lock and its control by the board.
Errors E50 through to E62 relate to the motor. To check the motor is spinning check the brushes if fitted and also check over the plugs and wires to the motor note that on some machines error code
E61 E62 and E66 relates to heater problems or a stuck heater relay
Error code E71 relates to the water temperature sensor and if the connections are okay this may need replacing.
E82 and Ee83 relates to a faulty selector switch.
E93 to E97 relates to the PCB and memory faults, and if the problem re occurs you may need to get a new control board.

SOURCE: zanussi FLE 1416 error code
Hello &
Welcome to FixYa These 3 flashing lights indicate a fault in its
pressure system. Unplug the machine and take the top off. There will be 2
pressure switches, circular devices with a thin tube attached to them. Take the
tubes off, block one with your thumb and blow as hard as you can down the
other. Refit the tubes. Give the pressure switches a couple of good taps with
your screwdriver handle in case they are stuck. Check the wiring to the
pressure switches, pull the plugs out and fit them in again. If the problem is
still there then it seems that the door lock is bad and needs replacement,
however you can test it before replacing. If it tests fine then check the pump
motor assembly. Please
get back to me if you have any other questions. Kevin
Many modern washing machines display error codes if they detect a fault, but not all washing machines display a readable error code, some indicate an error by flashing, or lighting some of the lights.
Hotpoint, Indesit, Zanussi error codes
Hotpoint, Indesit washing machines and Zanussi washing machines are some common appliances that display coded error codes. On their more expensive models, they display readable error codes but basic models (without digital displays) use flashing lights to convey the error fault code.
If your washing machine malfunctions and you can see some of the lights flashing, or one or more option lights have lit up, then make a note of which lights are flashing and which option lights are lit. NOTE: the error code list engineers have only shows the option lights by number and not by name. Therefore you need to report the lights as LED 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 etc. and NOT "delay timer" and "extra rinse". Count the lights from the left (or from the top if in a column) and report as "led 1 and 3" etc.
No Option lights?
With basic washing machines that have no option indicator lights, count the number of flashes. For example, the door locked indicator may flash 7 times, pause, and flash another 7 times in a constant cycle which would indicate error code 7.
This information is vital, and needs mentioning when reporting a fault.
