How easy is it to replace the rear bearing on a Zanussi TC7102W Tumble Drier, do I take the whole drier apart to do it? Thank you

Check the heater.
Does it heat?

Access from the rear panel to drive belt:

- Remove the worktop
- Remove the side panels
- Remove the rear panel cover
- Remove the rear panel
- Remove the motor unit

Hi Victor - I have the same issue I have exposed the motor and removed the larger belt and the spring but I can not see a way to get the smaller belt over the back spindle (The part the actual motor is attached too) - did you manage to do this? did you have to take the machine apart completely to fit this?

DEFO BEARINGS WHEN YOU SEE THAT DUST A REAL SIGN

Hi

If the dryer is not drying the clothes then you would need to check for the following things—
Electric Dryer---
1. Inspect the fuses and circuit breakers they may have burned out or tripped. Usually, dryer will still tumble but not create heat if a fuse or a circuit breaker is not working.
2. Check for the amp reading at 240 V, it should have reading of 24, 21 and 3 amp (approx.) for 2 lines and neutral respectively.
3. Heating element may have turned or the connection to the element might be loose. Sometimes a shorted circuit element will keep on blowing the fuse or circuit breaker.
4. Motor wiring shorting to ground.
Hope this helps...

Replace the heating element.

This is similar to your model. Buy the belt online or a appliance parts store.

Hi,

It seems that it is more likely a Burned Out Heating Element.

Check and let me know if the problem still persists.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using " Fixya " and have a nice day!!

The motor is getting old. When hot the reverse is loosing the contact points.

If the rug was very heavy you could have burnt up the motor. If it will restart after it cools off, replace the motor and clean out the vent system.

Good luck.
