ParticipantOn drying fluff filter chamber fills with water and heater isn’t coming on. Whatever cycle it is set on ie 15 30 40mins. finish in 11mins. On washing and spin drying everything works ok. I realize the heater doesn’t come on for the first 10 mins. Also the timer works ok when set for 10 mins

The condenser chamber should not fill with water so therefore it is blocked with fluff at the bottom, needs clearing out !

It should not fill AT ALL!
It is blocked clearly.

ParticipantRe: Zanussi WJD 1457 w washer/dryer
Will the blockage be around the condenser chamber or could it be the condenser itself. I’ve taken a couple of hoses of the chamber and taken the pump out they seem to be clear. Is their an easy way to get into the chamber. Thank you for all your help I appreciate it

on that model the rear case comes off as a wrap. it splits in the centre of the case at the sides. only undo the screws for the rear half. once off access is great

Thank you for your help. Yes the condenser was fully blocked and their was a wire of the temp probe. After a good clean out and reconnection of the wire the dryer worked fine. Unfortunately after using it a couple of times the reset/skip switch is not working, on investigation have found the switch on the cct board has broken offor. To my disappointment I’ve been told this part iso no obsolete so it looks like a new washer. So regards and thank you for your help and advice

what part has actually broken. if its the electrical switches on the board they are normally used on other things. I swap them from other boards all the time

Hi how do I remove the front panel as I need to get to the water chamber hope you can help thank you

Moderatoryou cant remove front panel as the machine looses structural integrity if you do
you can remove the filter unit without removing it
