Zanussi Nexus washing machine - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

This is a bit of a long shot and a question for someone who has one of these. The mechanical programmer on this machine seems to have slipped a few teeth so that the dial setting does not correspond to the wash program. If someone has one of these can they tell me where the end of cycle position is on the rotating dial as its not obvious on the dial. In 21 years of faultless operation of this washer I never noticed where it is.

If I know where the off position is then I could merely rotate the dial to the required wash program with reference to the new off position.

Might be a common problem - I usually search the uk whitegoods forum for these devices e.g.

You might find someone there with a long memory...

Thanks George for the information.
If I rotate the knob slowly every click seems to engage, if I move the knob quicker I can feel it missing the clicks as though the knob is loose.
