Hey dude are you smoking something or has your grammar simply sunk to the level that passes for english these days? I take it you have an error 51 on a zanussi and are seeking assistance?

51 means you have a problem with your motor drive circuit board. Specifically, the triac (mains switching mirochip) is shorted out. You most likely need a new motor board. First however, check out the carbon brushes in the motor. Theyre graphite blocks which transfer mains power to the copper segments of the motor - located at the other end of the motor from the drive pulley. Theyre possibly worn down. They're quite cheap parts and easy to replace - the holders are plastic or bakelite and are generally held in with screws or plastic clips. Also, look at the copper segments they run on to check for burning or pitting. If the segments are burnt or damaged you need a replacement motor or a replacement armature (motor part) if you can source one. Then sign up for evening classes in basic english.
