Zanussi ZDC37100W Electric Dryer Questions & Answers
Zanussi tumble dryer keeps cutting out
ELECTRIC Dryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast:
Check your venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it)
Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective.
Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,
Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.
Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet.
Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity.
A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run time in the automatic moisture sensing cycle but it will not affect the heating of the dryer or the timed cycle.

Squeaking
I have worked on some dryers of my own. The first thing I do is either purchase or go to the library and look at the maintenance/repair manual. These manuals have trouble shooting sections that are very helpful. Also, google it. I found several sites that appear to be very helpful. Squeaking is usually dry bearings some located in the rear of the unit, worn belt, worn carrier bearings or belts.

We have a Zannusi zdc37100W tuble dryer, it wont
Although I admit not having worked on this brand; the problem seems to be with the "snap disc" thermostat!It is cylander shaped with 2 wings that have screw holes. Its silver side faces toward the heating coil when mounted with 2 machine screws. 2 wires are attached on the "black side" facing you.These disc are for your protection.They prevent the "heating coil" from raising the internal temperature of the dryer above 248 degrees F.They re activate the coil when it cools to 80 degrees F.It should be located above the top of the "heating coil housing".1)Disconnect the power supply2)Locate the Snap Disc3)Remove the 2 "quick connect" wires from the flat electrical contacts on the Snap Disc.4) Remove the 2 mounting screws (careful not to drop them inside the dryer)5)Remove the old Snap Disc & Replace it wilt a new one.6)Mount new Snap Disc with the 2 mount screws.7)Connect the two wires with the quick connect fittings onto the flat electrical contacts.8)Put all access covers, lids,clips or anything else you removed to gain access to the Snap disc back where they belong."Make sure that no bare electrical contacts com into contact with anything that you put back""Don't (pinch) a wire during this process!)Note: You can order your part from a variety of places.Have ready before calling: The Make, The Model # The Serial # (just in case they ask for it) of your dryer.Have The old Snap Disc in your hand so you can give them the part #.Most "Home Use" clothes Dryers that work on 220 volts use a Snap Disc "Labeled": L248-80 FGood Luck! Ihope this helps!

Tripping whole kitchen
It's drawing more current than the system is designed for. Bring in an electrician.

Zannussi zdc37100w trips the fuses
the heating element is probably shorting out to the heater case and blowing the breaker or the dryer motors bad and drawing too much current
