Re: Zanussi TD4212W not getting as hot as expected

I changed the thermostat, and the dryer is now back to normal.

However, the fault may not have been the thermostat. I found that a filter had been placed in the outlet hose when a kitchen redesign relocated our dryer. This was fairly choked with lint, and I removed it before testing the fix, so cannot tell which was the solution. I suspect it was the reduced airflow causing the safety cutout to cycle power to the heater.

Either way, the cost of the thermostat was less than a call out….

Ok… I’ve now worked out how to remove the thermostat. Having a break gave me the renewed energy I needed to do it. Thanks for the pointer… now I just have to order the part, fit it, and hope it works!

(Saw your post, as I posted this… thanks again).

Oh – BTW I’ve figured out what a “mount thermostat” is… it’s the mount for the thermostat… still can’t figure out how to remove the assy tho.

That’s the one you need to replace. It’s located in the front drum support cowling at the 12o’clock opposite the lint filter. Its part number is 1258406105 and you could probably get one by emailing spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk

Thanks – I’ve found the thermostat, but it’s not obvious how to remove it. I’ve taken off the control panel and can get to the rear of the thermostat and its connectors. I can see the button inside the drum, but no obvious retaining mechanism is visible on either side. Do I have to dismantle the dryer further to replace this part?
