Zanussi fls 1284 washing machine - dial sticks

[bramish]

So I replaced the broken part fixing my previous problem - the dial now turns but sticks during the cycle and has to be nudged along sometimes - it's also really stiff to turn it.

The inner knob needs replacing. If you look at the knob you will see a small circle place a paper clip in it and turn anti clockwise this will release the front part of the knob you would then need a 7mm socket to release the inner knob .

Just bumping this for a new problem.

you may have a sticky build up behind the indicator so you would have to remove the inner knob again and then the indicator but ensure you clean both the indicator and where the indicator sits against

I'll give that a shot - thanks for helping out

How do I remove the indicator? (assuming that's the dial with all the letters?) It's at the point now where it doesn't revolve at all and requires a pretty hefty effort to turn the dial manually)

 

[captaincaveman1]

you need to remove the inner knob and on the indicator are four tabs which you gently ease up with a very small screw driver one at a time whilst at the same pull the indicator towards you.

That got it! Thanks again.
