Finding faults and error codes on Aeg, Electrolux, John lewis, Zanussi Heat pump tumble dryers

it is very difficult sometimes to diagnose the problems with these heat pump tumble dryers.
I have included a video to show you the test mode sequence and also a PDF below which I managed to obtain.
but whenever you need parts for these dryers you will need to quote your model number and also the PCN number before we can do that you to the correct part

if you are still having trouble please contact us using your full model number including the product number for help from Paul
