This is a split cabinet and you have to remove the rear section of the cabinet. take top of undo all bolts holding rear cabinet plus one bolt each side at bottom underneath a blank and two bolts at rear bottom of machine. sounds difficult but in fact is easy

My Zanussi TCE7124W is not running cycles properly and the clothes are still wet at the end of a run

The filters are clogged.
• The condenser is clogged.
• The water reservoir is full.
• The selected cycle is not suitable for the laundry.
• Insufficient drying time.
• The laundry has not been spun properly.
• The low-temperature function selected.
• Excessive laundry load.
• The dryer is not correctly installed.
Also, check the heater elements.
For the movement, check the drive belt has become worn or snapped. To test your tumble dryer's drive belt, we recommend you manually spin the drum. If it is stiff and difficult to move, the drive belt is ok, if it is easy to move, there's a good chance the drive belt is the fault.

My Zanussi fls 1183 is not washing the clothes, they are not completely wet and are not clean

This usually means that the drum is not rotating during wash or spin.

If this is the case the most common causes are a broken drive belt or the motor brushes worn out

Always remove the plug before investigating

My zanussi washer dryer wjs 1397 w drum is not turning

It is most likely that the drive belt is broken and needs repalcing, If you remove the rear panel it will be obvious if it has broken *** there will be a lrge flywheel attached to the drum and no drive belt going to the motor, near the bottom of the machine. These are easy to obtain from any domestic appliance spares store or mail order. They are also very easy to fit.If the drive belt is in place and is reasonably tight (taught) then you may have an issue with the motor. clutch or brake.

Unsure how to access drier to put on new drive belt

Here is my own solution...
Disconnect from mains (of course) remove top (2 screws at back near top) Unplug electric connectors (on back panel, top RHS). Make sure note what goes where! Lie unit down on front remove screws (2) holding the drum spindle cover (centre of back) and remove cover pop off the circlip holding drum spindle, and washer unscrew back panel - hex headed screws round outside of back Remove screws at bottom of back panel which screw into the plastic vent housing (3 I think) Lift whole back off. (there's a plastic lip at bottom - need to pull away from this a bit) The drum spindle will be unsupported now, so don't move unit Full access now to drum and motor beneath Get and put on new belt reassemble.
Actually, having got into unit, found could not get belt from local spares shop (it had closed down), so bought new drier!

Drive belt on Zanussi TD520

You will need to take the drum out of the rear bearing by undoing one of the sides and the back panel. Use selotape to hold the new belt in place and use a longish 'philips' screwdriver so that it does not cut the belt if it slips and ease the belt over the pulley with grooves that is near the fan. It is tricky!

Zanussi tumble dryer. no.TC7114W

loop the belt around the drum.
slide the belt down the drum directly over the motor pulley
loop the belt around the motor pulley
pull the tensioner pulley hard to the end of its travel against its spring
wrap the belt around the tensioner pulley
release the tensioner so the spring pulls it against the belt
rotate the drum by hand to ensure the belt is aligned and does not pull offf the pulleys
reassemble case
dry clothes
its easier than it looks seeing a broken belt in the bottom of the case.

Drum is not moving

It sounds like the drum drive is broken ... could be a belt at the back of the machine or it could be gear driven ... most likley a belt... take off cover on back of machine to see if the belt is broken and replace if necessary. Also could be pump but that is probably the last thing to go wrong pumps rarely ever fail.
