Zanussi dryer will not start at all; no lights or display, completely dead.

Safety first: Ensure the dryer is unplugged before inspecting the cord or internal components.

• 1. Check mains supply: Verify that the wall socket works by plugging in another appliance. Reset any tripped circuit breakers or replace blown fuses as needed.
• 2. Inspect power cord and plug: Look for visible damage, burns, or loose pins. If damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified person.
• 3. Test on/off switch: If your Zanussi has a physical power button, ensure it clicks and is not stuck. Internal switch failure may require replacement.
• 4. Internal fuse (advanced): Some models have an internal fuse on the PCB. Access the control board and check the fuse for continuity. Replace only with the same rating.
• 5. PCB power supply: If the internal fuse is intact and there is still no power, the control board's power supply section may have failed and will need professional replacement.
