Zanussi Overheating Motor or Electrical Components

Handle or body becomes unusually hot to the touch during normal use

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked cooling vents, Clogged filters, Failing motor drawing excess current, Poor internal airflow design due to missing baffles

Safety: Switch off, unplug, and allow to cool before inspection.

Clean vents and filters: Vacuum all Zanussi body vents and wash/replace filters to restore airflow.
Check for obstructions: Ensure hoses and nozzles are not blocked, forcing the motor to work harder.
Inspect internal airflow: Open the housing and verify that any internal ducting or baffles are in place and not dislodged.
Assess motor: If overheating persists, the motor may be failing and should be replaced to avoid damage or fire risk.
