Just clicking - not working at all

check pump

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!

It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!

Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!

flashing red start/pause button, wont spin or drain

if the machine is a zanussi the door lock has to be changed

I found 2 websites where you can download your manual, but I did not find any in Dutch. Sorry. Just click on one of the websites and then click on your model number.

Can you easily remove the rubber seal to clean it out as it's collecting residue/gunk - if so how?

possibly the motor brushes are worn, the clicking is the pcb relay changing the motor direction.

possible a pressure stat fault. some pressure stats have a too high water detector which turns on pump

hte one that gonna help you just wait...good luck ps it sound to me to be the water level switch..
