Zanussi Washing Machine Error Codes
Zanussi washing machines use the same E-code families as AEG (E10, E20, E40), and models without a display signal them with beeps or flashes. Zanussi’s UK articles cover front loaders, top loaders and washer dryers, so some steps mention a lid rather than a door.
Codes can vary by model
Check the model number on your washing machine’s rating label and your manual. We only list codes we’ve checked against Zanussi guidance. For anything else, use Zanussi UK support.
| Code | What it means | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| E10 also E11, C1 | The machine is having trouble taking in water: it isn’t filling, or is filling too slowly. | Usually simple |
| E20 also E21, E22, E23, E24, C2 | The machine can’t drain the water within the time it expects. | Check carefully |
| E40 also E41 | The appliance thinks the door or lid isn’t closed or locked, so it won’t start a cycle. | Usually simple |
