    Re: ZANUSSI ZDC 67550W dryer wont start?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions so far. I’ve fitted new capacitors 2uf and 6uf.

    It starts up and the heater element glows but then the element goes out and the drum seems to be struggling.

    It doesn’t appear to do a reverse cycle either.

    If I then turn the selector dial to another setting, the pause/start button flashes red with a warning beep.

    Excuse my carelessness in getting a shock from the board 😯

    Here’s a video of what’s going on and the mrs is not happy with me 😥

    Top of the morning to you nige,

    Thanks so much for offering some help; just reading your reply, the wife said she noticed the dryer was making a sound as if the drum was struggling to turn (it eventually would) and then when the drum stopped to turn the other way it made the same struggling noise (like the motor under a lot of load) and would stop rotating completely. As of the other day, the control panel lights up as normal but pressing start, the drum wont start turning (no struggling noise either).

    Would it be prudent to buy some capacitors to eliminate them as the fault possibly?

    If so could you point me in the right place to buy some?

    Gratefully, Chris.
