zanussi wjd1257w problem

[briathlon]

Hi all

got the following fault with a zanussi wjd1257w 914601415/00 that i hope someone can help me with.

originally when an auto dry cycle was selected the machine would show the proper drying time on the display but would only run for approximately 10 minutes before the cycle was finnished and the machine didn’t produce any heat. however it would dry ok on a manually selected cycle, but is now giving the same fault as described above on the manual cycle, i also noticed that when the timer starts to count down it is counting down in 18 second intervals rather than 60 second intervals, could this be a pcb configuration problem/fault and if so does anyone have the configuration info for this machine. i have checked all the wiring, filters, condenser etc etc just to be sure. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks very much for that chris. the machine doesn’t give an error during the normal drying cycle, however when i put it through it’s test sequence it stops during the drying test cycle and throws up an E72 error code (NTC on drying condenser faulty) so i will look into that tomorrow, thanks again chris.

checked out the NTC thermistor today and it’s faulty, reading 166K as opposed to 5.7K – 6.3K. A new one solved the problem.
