Hi Nigel,
Sorry to hear about the problem with your Zanussi TD4113W tumble dryer. This is a vented tumble dryer, and it’s usually quite simple. You need to know about the door lock system. It includes the door handle and a pecker mechanism that locks into the framework to keep the door shut. There is also a pin and a microswitch system at the top of the door. This must be activated for the machine to work.
Sometimes, the plastic bit attached to the top of the door can break. Even if the door is shut, it can't activate the machine because this part is broken. This is quite a common fault. Many people accidentally break these parts, especially when cleaning.
I couldn't get all the information because you didn't provide the full model number from the identification plate. However, I have put a link at the top of the page to all five variations of your machine. You will need the PNC number from the identification plate.
Below, you will find a full wiring diagram for your machine that explains the electrical circuit. There's also a basic workshop manual. Remember, the microswitch must have a circuit for the machine to start.
I've also added exploded diagrams of your machine with all spare parts. The link above will take you to the full list of spare parts for your machine. It's worth repairing as these were some of the last good tumble dryers made. Nowadays, heat pump tumble dryers are more environmentally friendly but don't last as long.
Your machine is at least 10 years old and worth repairing. The wiring diagram shows you where to find the door switch, which we need to check to ensure it starts when the door is shut. If you have trouble locking the door, there might be an issue with the door lock mechanism or pecker unit on the handle assembly. You need to inspect these parts.
Without seeing your machine, it's hard for me to diagnose exactly what's wrong. It would be helpful if you could make a YouTube video or use social media to show me the problem in real-time rather than just describing it.
Good luck with your repair! I hope you find all this information useful.
