Zanussi tumble dryer
Fault
The tumble-dryer drum turned, but the clothes stayed cold and wet.
- Assessment
- Separate heater and thermostat tests found an open-circuit thermostat. The filter, vent hose and airflow path were checked for restrictions that could cause overheating.
- Work
- We replaced the failed thermostat and cleared the airflow path before reassembly.
- Parts
- Model-matched dryer thermostat.
Checks and outcome
A test load confirmed restored heating, normal airflow and temperature cycling. The dryer continued operating without cutting out.
