How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Switch off and unplug the appliance. Wait several minutes to allow the lock to cool.

  • Check for water: If water remains in the drum, drain via the pump filter or emergency drain hose. The door will not unlock if water is detected.
  • Use emergency release: Many Zanussi models have a manual release near the pump filter. Pull it gently to open the door.
  • Inspect lock: Once open, test the door lock for mechanical sticking and replace if necessary.
