Ah, so unfortunately it’s looking like it might be something rather more expensive 🙁

Re: Zanussi ZDC5350 – E50 Error Code

It was a 9uf capacitor, and I’ve now tried replacing it but having no luck. The drum is not turning at all, you can hear a slight click after pressing start but nothing else and then just the E50 error again.

Is there any combination of buttons that can be pushed to get something more specific than the E50 error? Or any other suggestions for what it could be?

Yeah, it’ll just about run with a light load or empty, though sometimes sounds like it’s hiccuping a bit. Sounds like capacitor is a good bet.

Is there any specific capacitor that would do, or can it be any for a Zanussi/Electrolux/AEG dryer?

Heh, no worries about the mistake. I was a bit puzzled as to whether it would have brushes or not.

Ta, I’ll try taking the top off it and give it a shot. Or, given how it’s behaving, loosen the top and run it until it stops and I can test it. Would the capacitor work sometimes and not others?

If I may ask a daft question, can you give me an idea what I should be looking for when checking the brushes?
