John lewis JLTDH18 Tumble Dryer Error code E32
Cotton of unit gets very wet and clothes don’t dry well

I will try and help with this problem
Ok I'm taking it you have been into test mode and that's were you got the E32 error code.
This error code is only generated when in test mode as a certain step resets the sensors without the drum turning and this is what creates the error code. So you need to ignore that code as you have created it.
That being said, if the unit is getting wet and not drying well, the compressor unit in this heat pump tumble dryer, may be running low on gas and not being able to achieve the required difference in temperature to condense the water in the air. You will need to have someone with specialised knowledge on these types of tumble dryer looking at it.

I have a Zanussi ZTH485 heat pump tumble dryer. It shows the symptoms of start capacitor failure, but the only fault code I can generate in test mode is E32. Could that be the start capacitor, or is E32 always the control board? If it is the start capacitor (or worth a try at one tenth the cost of the control board), there are of course two capacitors. It’s not clear from spares suppliers, which is the start capacitor and which the run capacitor. Perhaps you’d recommend changing both, while I’m in there, but would I be correct to assume the start capacitor is the one with the higher mF value? – in this case 18 and 9 mF. Thanks for the great videos. Much appreciated. Mark.
