Hi there, not sure what the problem is, perhaps one of the other Zanussi guys might know. If you think it's the pcb, have a look on ebay you can pick one up quite cheap. Hope you can save it.

Regards Rich

Not an expert....

 But it does sound like a PCB fault. I could understand the machine aborting the program mid-cycle if another component was at fault (ie heating element or pump) but because the machine doesn't even begin the program, id imagine it's a PCB problem.

Only other possibility would be the drain pump, as Zanussis of this era run the pump briefly before filling with water, so a pump fault could cause the machine to abort at this point. However im more doubtful of this because the door doesn't even try to lock, which it should do before the pump tries to start.

Also i'd have thought a pump problem would send out an error code or a series of flashing LEDs, which you don't mention.

Best of luck,
Liam.
