Your Condenser tumble dryer is not heating? It Could Be One Of The Following:
- Heater fault.
- Cut out Thermostat faulty (TOC Thermal Overload Cut-out)
- Cycling Thermostat faulty
- Ntc fault if fitted faulty
- Air flow temperature thermostat faulty
- Pcb if fitted
Condenser dryers can be installed without the requirement to have a vent to the outside. However, it should be noted that these cannot be installed just anywhere and there are restrictions on temperatures and that cleaning filters regularly becomes essential. The moisture removed from the clothing during the drying process is condensed internally and the water vapour either drained to the house drainage system or collected in a container which has to be manually emptied.
low heat can be caused by one side of the heater not working or air flow problems
Thermostats & heater elements can be simply tested for continuity using an electrical meter. If the heater is open circuit it will require to be replaced, bearing in mind that many are in fact two elements for the different levels of heat, so check both circuits. If the heater is not open circuit and you have continuity then you should then look at the thermostats. Normally there are one of possibly two mounted around the heater housing but there are also often another one, possibly two, hidden on the vent or front of machine as you will see in this video there is one hidden in the drum, this is commonly known as the "exhaust stat" Air flow temperature thermostat.
Ntc sensors can be tested by using charts to measure resistance compared to the temperature see other videos on this.

Hello where is the reset button for the zanussi its the same one as in your veidos
Hi, excellent video! I have the following zanussi –
mod zdc68560w
prod 91609680201
Heating element is fine, just wondering if you knew where to locate the thermostat in this model. It seems it isn’t in the drum.
Many thanks,
Tom

hi Paul I have a Zanussi lindo 300 condenser tumble dryer which hasn’t done much work
model ZDC 8202P
product 916 097 379/00
my problem is that it does not heat up at all
I have tested the heating element and the thermal cut outs
and also I have tried tipping water into the top with the draw removed and it does not pump
even though the float switch is working
I have removed the pump from the machine and tested it on the bench and it works
the tumble dryer operates as it should other than getting hot
could you please point me in the right direction
could it be a circuit board fault and if so are these repairable?
I am an electrician by trade and so have a basic working knowledge of electronics
ps keep up the good work on your website very helpful well done
many thanks rob

Many thanks.
