I own a Zanussi Tumble Dryer ZDC8203WZ – PNC 916098489-02. – 2 1/2 years old.
Sometimes, when turning on the dryer using the on-off button, the control panel “freezes” with “Cotton Eco”, “Cupboard Dry” and “Start/Pause” LEDs illuminating – the latter flashes on and off. Further selection is not possible and the machine will not operate. This occurrence of the problem is increasing in frequency.
The method of resolving, which can take up to (10) minutes, is to press both the Programme Selection and Dryness Selection touch pads simultaneously, whilst pressing the on/off button – this action has to be repeated many times before success. This advice had been given to me some months ago on the ‘phone by a Zanussi Engineer.
Searching Zanussi’s website, I see that there is both a “User Control Panel” and a “Configured Electroni….”
Which would be the one to purchase & replace? Is it a straight forward replacement and can it be done without a Zanussi Engineer having to come out and “re-programme” the board?

A configured pcboard – the main pcb- part number 973916098489024. Price, a disheartening £165 If you buy this board it is a direct swop over and it should work without requiring a Zanussi engineer. AND
The user interface pcb – part number 8079758226 – does not need configuring/already configured. £98.00.
Your other question as to which pcb or indeed whether it is either pcb that has gone wrong is impossible to answer!**** BUT
Considering the costs involved you might want to check with Zanussi if they are still doing their one charge fixed fee including all parts required otherwise you could easily get caught out because you cannot send pcb`s back if that does not fix the problem. Many pcb`s fail (as a general comment) and visually they look perfect but that is not the case. Zanussi pcb`s are generally reliable hence my doubts it is either of these 2 pcb`s that are at fault.
*****Suggest you have a look at the pump and this part next to the pump all on the left hand side of the machine towards the back as is the heater`s terminal block first: [h=6]Tumble Dryer Float Microswitch[/h] 1366140018
This part can fairly commonly fail but whether it is the actual problem……?
Like so many pcb based machines (pretty well all these days) it is often experience or / and guess work. Trouble is guess work costs you money if you are wrong. Published reliable technical info can be sparse too compounding the problem of sussing it out.
Conclusion: I do not know the answer 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} and since you placed your question 04/12/2023 it looks though no one else does either.
