i have a zanussi aquacycle 1500, model number FS1555W. i went to put the machine on with a load in, but it started to beep, 1 beep followed by 5, then 4 beeps all the time after that. i thought we might have had a power cut while we'd been away, but we hadn't. i've been told it could be the mother board, if it is, is it possible to buy a new to fit ourselves? there is no other info to give you apart from.... it will not go to any programme at all so i cant wash. its only quiet when its in the off position :-(
can anyone help???

You need to check the service manual for your machine. Compared to an engineer call-out charge, this guy on Ebay can apparently supply most makes/model of SERVICE, not USER manual which has all the codes for the LEDs and beeps. I have a Zanussi Aquacycle 1500 and suddenly on start-up it was clicking 3 times at the door switch then repeatedly beeping 4 times. I removed the switch, (Mains OFF) carefully opened it up and saw 'charring' so guessed it was worn out. Could be wrong but I'll risk a straight replacement of a £15 part that I can always keep as a spare if Im wrong! :-) Try that guy though, for a tenner you will always be able to de-code beeps. Or, do what I did, I mean, it took me 5mins; switch off and removed plug from socket, remove the washer lid (take care, press into screws to stop the thread being stripped!), using a driver drill/someone to help, reach down inside machine and hold onto the door switch as you unscrew the 2 outside screws then withdraw the unit, optionally inspect it's interior and at least you have the Part Number on it to order your replacement. Hope that helped. madpheasant@hotmail.com
