This machine works fine on wash but fails on dry…
It doesn’t heat but the fan motor runs fine, the time starts normally but then goes down quickly…… the same fault occured a year or so ago and the thermister on the ducting was changed and the wiring loosened BUT it’s not been used much so I dont think its that again??!! ANY IDEAS PLEASE?
the top thermistor is a common problem on this model. if the job was done correctly then a new wiring harness should have been fitted. If this was not done then it is possible the wire has broken again

The wires have plenty of flex in them and a zanussi engineer did replace the wiring back when it was changed before (approx 18m – 2yr ago) … could it really be the same part again or something else causing the error?
If you want meaningful / useful answers, it would be a good idea to go and do some checking & testing first. It may be something that you can find quickly, but if not we should at least have something to go on.

If you haven’t been to the job yet, how could you tell Dave that there’s plenty of flex in the wires ?.

The cx has taken the top off and checked because he saw the last engineer to that repair before, so he told me – I’m just doing some research before my call out, you guys on here have always been great with helping

Sadly not Dave — I normally have great success on here with you guys so I’m just doing a little research before seeing the machine tomorrow

Great Dave……. it’s asp11@hotmail.co.uk
After checking this machine in person I found the Duct thermister had plenty of slack in the wires but the last engineer used a crimp connector to join them and not a complete wire from pcb-thermistor…… but the wires are tight.
What I did find was that when the dryer kicked in, there was mains to the element for only a second then no more – I waited 10mins but no other power came to the dryer element AND I found the time stayed normal for me, the cx says it normally reduces fairly quickly
Am I looking at a main pcb error, as I thought I heard a relay noise when there was power to the dryer element for a second but nothing afterwards????
