Zanussi Jetsystem 1250 Washing Machine (FJS 1397W) - Water j

[David707]

The above machine is apt to take in the conditioner during one of the rinse cycles so that when final rinse (which should take in conditioner) there is nothing left in the dispenser tray.
It would appear that the waterjet "control mechanism" is not being correctly positioned by the linkkage position although the "cam" appears to be set right. I have tried adjusting position of the cam using the adjustment link provided but this only solves the problem temporarily.
Can anyone advise further on what the problem might be or even provide additional details on how the waterjet selector mechanism works.
Many thanks,

take the drawer out and look to the top side of the soap box housing. the water ways in there are sometimes prone to blockages which can "squirt" water into the adjacent compartment. gve it a thorogh clean and even poke something flexible like a cable tie into the holes to dislodge any gunk.

Many thanks for your reply Keithwasherman. I have tried cleaning the orifice(s) with a brush but as soon as "the senior management" releases her machine for maintenance I'll get my dentist's mirror out and have a go with a cabletie as you suggest.
Cheers,
