Drying cycle stops quickly and clothes are still wet; machine may think clothes are dry.

Safety: Unplug the appliance.

• Locate sensor bars: Many Zanussi washer-dryers have metal strips inside the drum or in the door area that detect moisture.
• Clean sensor: Wipe the bars with a cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner (like a paste of baking soda) to remove residue and film.
• Avoid fabric softener overuse: Excess softener can coat the sensor and prevent accurate readings.
• Check wiring: If accessible, ensure the sensor wiring is intact and connected to the PCB.
