I have zanussi tce 7227w dryer,dryer works fine with no load however when even a small load is in the dryer cuts out then after a minute it will start again before cutting out.the motor does still reverse.is this a motor fault or is there some sort of load cut off sensor?i have some basic electrical knowledge.
Usually this is a sign the felt bearings on the drum, or the roller bearings under the drum are worn and need replacing
felts and rollers should be visible once you open the case
check the rollers turn freely, check the felts are not worn through
replace both rollers or both felts if one is worn

Hello this is Dennis from blue hawk electronics I had the same problem with my Zanussi tumble dryer and all I did was to take out he front circuit board and reflow board and has been working fine now for 9 months and still going strong
Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.
Check out this tip to see the things that can fail to cause your electric dryer not to work.
Common faults - 1 Theheating elementscan fail
(meaning open circuit) 2 There arecut-outs (T.O.C's)that
might need resetting 3 Thethermostats (stats)can trip
out or burn out (meaning opencircuit) 4 Moderntumble dryers also have sensors andpcb's (Printed circuitboards)thesehave
programs that can fail and circuitry although most should produce an errorcode
showing you were the fault is. 5 Faultyconnections and burned wires may also be
the fault.
this could be the stats or the drum is not turning

the dryer is telling you a trouble code like in a car when something is malfunctioning with it, try to call your manufacturer and ask them to tell you what that code means.

The problem is with the tumble drier heating element. If you remove the top of the machine (disconnect it from the electricity supply first!) you will find a big metal oblong "bar" that runs from the front to the rear of the machine. At the rear there are 4 white wires connected to the metal "bar". Make a note of where they go and remove them. You may need pliers to get a good grip of them. Once removed, the washing machine should work just fine but obviously the tumble drier will not. This is a well known fault and it may be worth contacting Zanussi as they MUST know about it!
