Zanussi ZKG7165 Dryer Element Connection

[mike1984]

Hi – I’m posting this in a new thread as I’m not sure it is getting viewed in the previous one I posted in and I really need some help!

My Zanussi washer dryer ZKG 7165 also showed error code E66. I read somewhere on the internet that if I disconnected the dryer heating element and cleared the error then it would work as a washing machine but the dryer functions would not work.

I did this and it didn’t work and I (stupidly) did not take a photo of how the wires were connected to the dryer element.

I have since arranged a repair but the engineer won’t touch it unless the wires are reconnected first, as apparently it will damage it if they are put on in the wrong order.

There are four connecters. When looking at the connections from the REAR of the dryer, I have them connected as follows (from left to right):

Double connector with 2 grey wires
single connector with single yellow wire
single connector with single grey wire (the other end of this wire is one of the 2 grey wires listed above)
Double connector with single yellow wire

Pic below (if it works).

Is anyone able to tell me if this is correct?

I have contacted Zanussi who were ‘unable’ (read ‘unwilling to unless you give us some money’) to tell me unless I book their engineers. However, I have already paid for a repair as mentioned above. The engineer is due to be here Thursday so I really need to try and find out somehow!

Many thanks in advance!

You’ll need the PNC number from the rating plate to even have a hope.
