Question about Zanussi FLE1416W Front Load Washer
A screw (from a pocket) got into drum, I had to remove & split drum to retrieve. Put all back together. Machine now allows program selection, but when pressing 'start' button it does nothing. Door is locked during program selection which is not normal as it usually locks when wash program commences I only removed wire harness to motor & heater so not much to put back(or get wrong). (all keyed) *I've checked all wire connections across whole machine. nothing loose etc. *water level pressure switch hoses are clear of gunk. * double checked, triple checked Any ideas please help James
Loud noises coming from a Washing Machines are most often caused by loose objects inside the unit or by a broken dryer belt. The Washing Machines belt allows the dryer's motor to run smoothly. Continuous wear and dry conditions may cause the belt to dry out, eventually Washing Machines cracking and then snapping. This will cause a loud noise within the unit. Repair and fix the dryer belt of a Washing Machines to get rid of loud noises.
Instructions And Things You'll Needed to solve the problem.
Screwdriver ,Replacement Washing Machines belt
1 Stop the Washing Machines and look inside the dryer's drum for any loose objects such as coins, pens or anything else that may have been in a pocket of clothing. Remove the object and restart the dyer to determine if the noise has stopped.
2 Unplug the Washing Machines from the wall outlet to disconnect all power to the unit.
3 Remove the lint trap from the lint compartment on the top of the dryer.
4 Remove the screws that hold the top panel in place. Pull the panel off to access the
dryer belt.
5 Tilt the dryer forward and lift the dryer drum to remove the belt. Check the Washing Machines belt. A belt that is worn, cracked, split or broken will cause loud noises.
6 Slide the old belt off of the drum and pull it out to remove it. Take note on how it is positioned over the drum.
7 Install the new belt. Lean the front panel away from the Washing Machines and slip the new belt over the drum. Locate the position of the old belt and slip the new belt following the old belt's position ensuring the grooved side of the belt faces down. Push the idler pulley towards the motor to allow you to slip and loop the belt around the motor pulley.
8 Place the top panel on the Washing Machines and screw it in place.
9 Open the Washing Machines door and use your hand to rotate the drum counterclockwise a few turns to ensure the belt is secured.
10 Plug the Washing Machines into the wall unit and begin use .

I did get the machine working in the end...
When I had it apart I jet washed the drum, to get rid of that nasty scum that always collects. I must have got the motor a little wet/damp. After pulling my hair out, it just started to work intermittently. So I worked the machine hard to warm up the motor to dry it out. After that it worked fine!
