Zanussi ZDC8202P Condenser Tumble Dryer Replacing the Heater Elements

Customer Question

Tim asks:

TVM for the advice on your YT channel video. My Zanussi ZDC8202P Condenser Tumble Dryer heater unit (manufactured 2009) has exact same connector type, except that the white-sheathed earth runs separately alongside from the terminal block through the rubber grommet then terminates at a clamp on top of the heater unit housing.The grommet on mine is oblong and looks like I'll have to slit the opening a bit with knife in order to pull through both cables as well as the terminal block.I'm waiting for new heater part, but I'm doubtful whether it will be like my old one. Assuming it is the same as in your video, any tips to adapt the wiring to suit my machine please?Tim

Model: ZDC8202P
