    Hi. This zanussi c/t/dryer will start and run for anything from 2 to 4 seconds then the start light flashes and that is it and it goes wrong consistantly. Things I know that do work in that brief period before it all goes so horribly wrong: motor and capacitor ok, belt ok, heater and 2 stats ok, and door lock and striker ok, float swt ok. Stuff I`m not sure about are: pcboard and ntc sensor. Well wouldn`t have thought it`s the ntc so that leaves the dreaded pcboard. Slightly concerned might be door lock but doubt it.Any one point me in right direction or have I done that by myself? Thx.PS the only light that flashes when it fails is the start button red light.

    How many times does it flash red?

    Hi Seamy. 20 red flashes then a beep beep then repeat. Actually I`ve sussed the piece of electronic 21st Century tosh by watching youtube video as to how to get into diagnostics which I ponced about with and somehow got the stupid contraption back to being ok. Tested on synthetics for 30 mins and all was well. Not too sure what the hell happened there and I don`t really care either other than it now works. In case anyone else gets stuffed with one of these things: I turned selector knob 1 click to the right from off position then held start and the nearest button to it at the same time. Then moved s/knob another click, then another click then gave up `cause I forgot what the thing was supposed to do (!) and clicked s/knob back to off then on then off then on to 40 mins to try. Then tested as above! God I hate this kind of stuff! Thanks for replying.

    Glad you got it sorted, provided you got the error code correctly, E20’s is the condensate pump or the float switch controlling it. Just in case it throws up the error again.
