They are not a good machine,basically when they go wrong recycle them ,I won't touch them and advise my clients to spend extra and get a quality made machine.

Yes,I quite agree with you.much prefer a k20 .Unfortunately all customers seem to look at these days is price and not quality but that's Blackpool all over.Thanks again guys.

As I recollect, ZB 26 does not have paddle at all. It has pump for agitation. Is this same as your model?

In these, when reduction gear in motor is damaged, symptoms are as you described.
You can find replacement tray motor in GEV! Code is:499086
Also, if tray is not in correct position regarding gear position, you can have same issues because of position sensor getting wrong signal. Therefore you should check that motor shaft is in correct relation to tray. It is adjustable by loosing and after correct positioning, tightening cone connection with tray.
And yes, they are rubbish but providing me some income!
