Zanussii ZWD122070W hot but damp after drying.

Hi

I’m trying to see if I can fix my washer dryer. Basically when it goes through a dry cycle things are hot but still damp. Was wondering if water isn’t flowing to the condenser properly. I’ve looked at the 3-way inlet value. 2 coils measure 3580 ohms. The other that looks to feed the condenser is up over 5150 ohms. Does that mean that coil is bad so probably isn’t opening the valve properly. It is a different colour so is it supposed to be higher resistance?

Here’s what I’m talking about.

Didn’t want to start replacing parts if I’m barking up the wrong tree.
Checked filter is clear. Fan motor spins freely.

The resistance values are reasonable though it doesn’t confirm if the valve is OK though if it was electrically faulty it would throw up an error code on the display (E12 for example). A more basic test is to simply observe if water is actually flowing into the condenser? The symptoms suggest it doesn’t. You should be able to see a trickle of water flowing down the transparent tube and into the condenser unit. I’m thinking that doesn’t happen meaning the valve needs replacing.

(A fluff blocked condenser will also cause similar symptoms so you might take a look at that to ensure it is clear)

Thanks. I’ll see if I can work out how to get at the condenser tomorrow and check for fluff after checking the flow.

Condenser full of fluff. Thanks for the advice. 🙂
