Troubleshooting

The Zanussi ZDC 37100 W Dryer has some known problems that occur often. Here are some easy to do solutions for the problems or error codes your Zanussi might be giving you.

End / Anticrease light is on

The End / Anticrease light is illuminated at the end of the cooling phase, during the anti-creasing phase, and at the end of the program. This is a normal indication, signaling the completion of the drying cycle and that the anti-creasing phase is active. No action is needed unless the light does not turn off after a reasonable time.

Empty Tank light is on

The Empty Tank light indicates that the water reservoir must be emptied. If this light illuminates during a program, it means the water reservoir is full. To resolve this issue, empty the water reservoir. If the light comes on when the reservoir is not full, ensure it is correctly inserted. Restart the program by pressing the Start/Pause button.

Filter light is on

The Filter light illuminates at the end of the program to remind you that the filters must be cleaned. Clean the filters as per the maintenance instructions to ensure optimal performance. Regular cleaning helps in maintaining the efficiency and safety of the appliance.

Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Zanussi Dryer.

Regular Filter Cleaning

To ensure optimal performance and prevent excessive drying times or high electricity consumption, clean the filters at the end of each program using a damp cloth. This will remove all the fluff that accumulates during drying.

Room Ventilation

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the temperature does not exceed 35°C during the drying process to prevent overheating and ensure efficient operation.

Avoid Self-Repairs

Do not attempt to repair the dryer yourself. Contact your local Service Centre for repairs and insist on genuine spare parts to prevent injury or malfunction.

Pre-Wash Soiled Items

Items soiled with substances like cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before drying to avoid fire hazards.

Air Intake Grille Cleaning

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the dryer to maintain proper airflow and efficiency.
