Error E60 in Zanussi washing machines

Description

Error: E60

Meaning: Motor failure.

Possible causes

• Motor brushes worn out or not correctly positioned.
• Loose, damaged or disconnected plugs and cables that go to the motor.
• Mechanical obstruction or issues preventing the motor from turning freely.

Step-by-step checks and solutions

1. Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from the mains before inspecting any internal parts.
2. Access the motor area according to your model’s instructions or manual.
3. Inspect the motor brushes: ensure they are correctly seated, have adequate length and move freely in their holders. Replace if worn.
4. Check all plugs, connectors and cables to the motor for secure connections, corrosion or visible damage. Reseat or replace faulty connectors.
5. Verify the motor shaft turns freely and there is no foreign object or debris blocking rotation.
6. If brushes and connections are fine but the error remains, the motor or related control electronics may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.

More tips

• If you cannot eliminate the error after these checks, contact Zanussi technical service or a qualified repair specialist in your area.
• Provide the technician with the error code and the steps you have already performed to speed up diagnosis and repair.

E60 in Zanussi dryers — note

Description

On Zanussi dryers, E60 typically indicates a heating problem rather than a motor fault. The dryer does not heat properly.

Common causes and quick actions

• Poor ventilation or installation inside a closed cupboard or too small a room causing condensation and performance loss. Ensure adequate airflow and correct installation clearances.
• Clogged filters, condenser or door seal (rubber) causing excess humidity and reduced heating. Clean lint filters, the condenser and the door gasket regularly.
• If cleaning and correct installation do not restore heating, seek professional service for heating element, thermostat or control faults.

When to call a specialist

Contact technical service or a repair specialist when you lack the tools/knowledge to safely access motor or heating components, when parts need replacement, or when the error persists after basic checks. A specialist can diagnose electrical, electronic and mechanical faults and advise the fastest, safest solution.
