Washing Machine erroring E10

positron

Hi,

I have this 5 year old Zanussi JetSystem washing machine throwing E10 error during wash and rinse cycles.

From own research, the most common issue that causes E10 is the inlet water pressure, clogged filters and/or inlet solenoid vales. I have already checked and ruled them out as everything looks good.

However I think the problem is with the flat white box above the detergent dispenser - I think it's clogged with limescale. I am thinking if I could force some anti-limescale stuff thru the two little black rubber pipes that connects the inlet solenoids to the white water dispensing box, that just might do the trick. However, the washing machine doesn't 'suck' water as such, so I really need to force it into it when the the machine is off - I am thinking if I could get hold of a large syringe or something similar, that might work. Anyone know where can I get something like that, essentially something to force some anti-limescale stuff into the washing machine's water inlet?

Thanks a million..!!

Cheers, that might work.. If only I can find something like that locally instead of Missouri!

Your local toy shop will have cheap water guns to lash the water in for you.
Then, when finished, you can give it to the kids (if you have any) etc......win / win

have you checked the solenoid is ok ?

Yes, the solenoids are okay. They are fairly cheap to replace (20-30 euro) if I had to, but they are working okay. I will check local toy shop for a zooka thingee, and see if it would be strong enough for the job.
