Possible Causes

Blocked condenser or lint filter (if user-serviceable), Restricted airflow in ducts, Faulty dryer heater, Faulty dryer NTC sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool.

  • Clean condenser and filters: If your Zanussi model has a user-accessible condenser, remove and rinse it thoroughly. Clean any lint filters and air inlets/outlets.
  • Check load size: Do not exceed the specified drying capacity (usually lower than wash capacity). Overloading reduces airflow.
  • Inspect ducts: Access internal air ducts and fan housing to remove lint build-up.
  • Test heater and sensor: If airflow is good but drying is still poor, test the dryer heater and NTC sensor and replace if faulty.
