managed to fix it. The explanation of the belt route I used from this thread which was perfect.

thanks to all who helped by responding. This site has helped save me a couple of hundred quid for a new dryer 😀

Edit- problem fixed.

thanks for the comment dave. I have read it and it seems fine, I just needed more detail on the actual removal of the back, like the easiest way to do it without removing something that shouldn’t be removed as it didn’t seem very obvious.

going to probably buy a new one soon (when I get round to it) but will definately give this a go and see if it falls into place. (it’s just the initial part which i’m a little unsure about).

thanks

sorry to be a pain, but does anyone have any specific info on this particular dryer on how to remove the back??

once that is done i’m pretty confident.

thanks

Re: Fitting belt on Zanussi Dryer

lol, central london mate. Nothing cheap here.

cheapest using the link and also checking local was around 50 quid +VAT

add the 10-20 for the belt and it’s a bit pointless.

If I cannot take it apart, then will have to buy a new one with warranty etc.

thanks for the response.

I’ve tried looking for engineers, but with most of them costing 50+ just for a call-out fee (+vat) and not including the part, I’m looking at 80-100 quid. If it cost 40 quid then maybe it’s worth it, but otherwise it is economically better to simply invest that towards a new dryer.

I’d rather buy a new dryer, or simply have a go at this one (nothing to lose scenario).

I would really appreciate if anyone has had experience with this dryer before just to explain what to take apart. I have taken photos of the back if anyone is kind enough.

By your advice it seems that I literally have to unscrew everything on the back. There seems to be 3 things that seem to be removable. The entire back, the section in the centre and also a plastic part at the bottom.

I guess I’ll start with the outer screws and see what happens. If anyone has any further info would appreciate it.

or email dynamo123@hotmail.com

cheers.

hi,

I googled this particular thread as I had a similar problem. The thing is I was wondering what on earth I have to remove to get at the belt?

model TC481W

would appreciate a link or any basic advice to get started. Would rather avoid paying another 200 quid for a dryer.

Just looked at the back of it and want to make sure I don’t pull off the wrong thing.

Also is it perfectly safe when unplugged?

many thanks.
