Zanussi ZDC8202P Condenser Dryer 'Tank' fault.

[AndySBD]

Hi,

I have a Zanussi ZDC8202P Lindo 300 Condenser Tumble Dryer that turns on OK, but when you press the 'Pause/Start' button, the machine beeps 3 times and the 'Pause/Start' light flashes red. It has done this previously, and after a good clean, has worked again. This time, however, that is not the case.

I have put the machine into diagnostic mode, and the 'Pause/Start' button flashes red when the chasing LED's get to 'Tank', so I assume that where the issue lies.

Can anybody suggest what a 'Tank' fault may involve? Apart from being full.
I don't really know where to start looking.

TIA.

Some models have a float that detect the level of the water in the tank which sticks at the top of it's travel even after the tank is emptied.
Not sure if this applies to your model or not, but it sounds like you should have some device that does the same job perhaps like this https://shop.zanussi.co.uk/laundry/...Hn-n3Wu55v_bZ5KryEoaAgVYEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds & is either dirty or faulty

Thanks for your reply. I don't really know how this model detects water level. The tank just has a plastic doofer in the hole that goes up and down with the water I assume. This possibly makes contact with something inside the dryer when the tankis full, but I can't find anything. It's a bit of a moot point at the moment as I've just plugged it back in after 5 or 6 hours, and it's working again. I'm thinking that maybe the pcb board is on the way out.
