Customer Question

"Hi, I have a Zanussi Dryer ZDE14700. I tried to dry a sofa cover which I think was a bit heavy for the dryer and although it's still working, it's not heating up. Is this something I can fix on my own and if so how? Or do I need to get someone in?

But they do have a ZDE 47100W

 

Can you just double check that please.

 

Regards

Hi

 

Ok thats fine i can advise on the correct dryer now.

 

If you turn the dryer on to any cycle and set it going.

Then press and hold the start button and the button to the left.

Keep them held in and once the leds go out let go.

Now the start light will flash.

You need to count the number of red flashes.

Then the number of green flashes and let me know.

 

Regards

Customer replied374 days and 17 hours ago.

Actually it only bleeped again when I did it with the door open, when the dryer was working it flashed as above then carried on - sorry if I'm being confusing!

Hi

 

Sorry not sure what you mean by flashed as above?

 

When you did it did the lights go out?

Did the start light flash red?

 

Regards

Customer replied374 days and 17 hours ago.

I think one of my replies went missing! It flashed red 6 times and green twice

Thank you for all your advice

Hi

 

Ok i never got that reply.

 

But anyway thats E62 errror code which is a heater element problem.

 

What you need to do is remove the buldge cover on the back and the top and take the heater out.

 

Check to see if the heater coils have burnt out. If they look ok then the other side of the heater are two thermostats. Now you will need a multimeter and test these. If any are faulty then the heater element will need to be replaced.

 

Check it out and see what you find but usually for an E62 error code its the heater element at fault here.
