Zanussi ZDC67550W tumble dryer Drum does not turn

Pnc number 91609616904Belt recently broke and was replaced. We have had "buzzing" and failing to start for approx 6 months with a heavy load.Now there is no buzz and nothing happens.In Diagnostic mode using mode 3 I get the pump briefly running and a click then error code 51.I took the PCB put and checked it over. Nothing obviously wrong with a visible check.I put it partly back together to test and it worked.I put it all back to together and it did not work.After a day of checking, re-soldering connections, checking tracks etc I have not got it to work again.I suspect the start capacitor is failing and maybe that has damaged the PCB in some way.Any advice as to what to replace first would be greatly appreciated.I was going to try to find someone to test the PCB and I was going to replace the capacitors.Thanks and your videos are great. Especially as many of them feature the exact same model as mine!

I will try and help with this problem Zanussi ZDC67550W tumble dryer.

Right the first thing I need to tell you is Error code 51 is a motor-related fault,  but on most occasions, it points me in the direction of the circuit board the links switch is the part that is normally faulty.

I have put a video below which will show you how to replace it. you will need to get the numbers off the original link switch sometimes a resistor also blows.  you can try replacing this, it will not cost you a lot of money but if it does not work then you will need part number 973916096169040 the problem here is it is no longer available new but the none configured one is 1256678424, you could find a second-hand machine and swap out the facial and circuit board to make a machine up.

Part number 1256678424 fits all these models
