Technician sent by Mastercare changed 4 temp sensors and a water valve on our Zanussi WJD 1667W washer dryer to try to get rid of problem of tumble dryer shrinking clothes. After he left found that tumble dryer not heating at all, It dropped out after 12 mins on auto sensor and only lasted 10 mins when set to run manually for 50 mins. Also the wash cycle at 40 seems very cold at end, as well. He is coming again tomorrow - has he forgotten to connect something? There have not been any error messages on machine front display. Thanks.

Washer dryers often have cold water valves with 3 separate solenoids. One for the main wash and rinses (which is clearly ok) and one for the condition rinse (to take the fabric conditioner down) which is probably ok too, and the 3rd one is for the dryer. It's possible this 3rd solenoid has failed.

Washer dryers need on a steady trickle of cold water running into the condenser chamber to convert the steam into water, which then gets pumped down the drain.

e10 means that there is a problem with the water supply.
a condenser dryer needs cold water to operate properly. the e10 code will appear if:
1. the water is turned off
2.the water pressure is too low.
3.the solenoid valve is open circuit
4.there is a problem with the pressure switch (least likely)

Cold valve is at the end of blue inlet pipe remove lid and you will see it.

f E10 is only appearing when trying to dry, the problem almost certainly is the condenser valve solenoid open circuit. The green solenoid on the inlet valve. Should read about 4000 ohms.

My money would be on the solenoid coil being open circuit. The coil can be canabalised from most valves although you may have to modify the connections. For simpler repairs - contact Zanussi and get the entire triple inlet water valve to swap out.

It sounds like an intermitent Thermostat problem.

Maybe it's the water collector's upper side which leaks...

Is it a washer-dryer? E10 relates to a fault with the inlet valve.....usually the valve itself going open circuit.
