Zanussi Spares Expensive

Just be grateful it isn't a Bosch.

I have not checked prices.

Good points. Our Bosch tumbler dryer stopped working this year. Called Bosch and quoted £44 for motor capacitor. I thought this very expensive so took it to my electronic friend who tested and confirmed it was u/s. He looked in radio spares cataloge. Identical part £4.60 one off, discount for quantity.If bought in quantity from manufacturer as Bosch would price would be no more than 50p.

Zanussi washing machine brushes went this week. Cost £40 plus.Rip off yes of course.

I had exactly the same problem with the basket wheels and runners on a Zanussi d/w that was installed when we moved house last year. I ended up taking it to the tip and buying a new one as all the parts totalled

It's criminal, especially when the government are spending millions on promoting recycling, yet companies are allowed to overprice spare parts.

I did just the same with our Zanussi d/w a month back, it simply wasn't worth buying all the small plastic bits needed, so a basically functional dishwasher went to the tip.

The CPC price for a genuine part is around £15.50 to £16.50 for the pair of brushes.

so has anyone tried to find 3rd party parts? I could not find these from CPC? have i just missed it somewhere ?

Sorry if this message is repeated by OE said it had not posted originally

Has anyone found a 3rd party supplier for these parts ? Or has anyone questioned the pricing policies from the manufactures ?

Did you try ringing thtm? CPCs online range is much smaller (for some reason) than what tehy can get if you phone them with details of the model.

Maybe this guy can help:

cheers, Pete.

My Zanussi d/w was about 5yo when it got skipped, the problem seemed to be that the plastic went brittle, I assume with the repeated washing in hot soapy water, my thought was that I was just unlucky and had got a machine after they'd changed to a new type of plastic, I wouldn't have thought they could make machines that have always failed like this and stay in business.
