Zanussi tumble dryer.

teckel

Hello.
I have a zanussi tumble dryer that's about 2 years old. It has stopped working last week for some reason. It has not been used 10 times. I'm wondering where do I stand as regards the company I bought it from. Will they replace it or repair it?
TIA

rarely will an appliance be replaced without a service engineer from the company having carried out an inspection, check your warranty for expiry date , did you try the dryer on another socket or replace the fuse as a diy job

I had a Zanussi years ago. I remember when it failed, the service engineers were very helpful over the phone. It's worth ringing them first

Depends on how old it is.
Has it been used much.?
How much did it cost you when you bought it, ie was it an expensive model.?
What part does it need at the moment.?
The parts that frequently need replacing are the heater element and drum bearing/bush. Door lock and hinges also but less frequent.

It's been used plenty this is weird it doesn't work after a few mins so I take out the bottle to empty it then all the water flows out of it it doesn't go into the bottle. So when I need stuff dried I've got to fold a large towel and put it under dryer to soak up the water and it works fine without the bottle in so I assume it's the bottle neck that's at fault weird or what

There's usually a small valve/float mechanism that allows the water to empty from the pipe into the tank - when water level rises, it triggers a float to rise too and close off the valve. The valve will also close when the tank is removed.

If your appliance has this mechanism, it's probably stuck or broken.

So would think if I replaced with a new tank it would be ok?

Zombie thread, but I think it makes more sense than starting a new one.
I have a zanussi lindo 1000 condenser dryer. It's been working fine up until last week.
Now, the filter area at bottom floods and no water reaches the condenser tank.
I think the issue may be related to float switch mentioned above or the pump that brings water from condenser to the tank.
Would anybody have clear diagram or info on what I should look for?
Or would you have recommendation for somebody in Dublin to check it out and repair for reasonable price?
Thanks
