Zanussi ZDC46130W Condenser Tumble Dryer stops mid-cycle

July 14, 2020

Hi Paul.Our Zanussi Condenser Dryer has started to stop mid-cycle. It runs for about 5 only then stops. I have faithfully cleaned out the fluff filters in the door and body as well as the condenser itself so I don't think the lies there. I have also cleaned out the front "hollow" space in the body running from the filter downward to the base of the front where the condenser is located, as best as I could. I found there was water in the space at the bottom of that area which I hope is normal - given it's a condenser. I replaced the capacitor in January this year when the drum would only rotate when it was given some assistance by manually rotating prior to shutting the door and then starting. I am at a loss. Could you please assist? I would appreciate it very much...and it would make me a hero once again) to "er indoors". Much obliged.Trevor

This sounds like you may have a problem with the heating system this is a common fault you need to inspect the thermostats on the back of the heater also the forward thermostat, make sure you do a continuity check on the element if all of these check out correctly then you may have a problem with the heater relay on the circuit board I have added some videos below to assist you in your repair. I have also sent you a workshop manual by your email address
