My zannusi dryer is will not dry clothes on hot setting

check the exhaust tube externally and internally for excess lint build-up on the sides. You may not have the vent obstructed, but you may have the venting restricted. Clean out lint if there is excess. It may need a good scraping/ brushing to help your machine breathe. Just an extra thought.

Zannusi Dryer TDS383W element gets Hot (glows)then cuts out after few seconds then if I wait for couple minutes and reset the clock to any set time the element glows hot again until inbuilt thermostats 'click' again cutting out the element,this process is continuous with or without the lid and ducting in place.

Could be condenser or water solonoid valve fact that s hot says heater ok.fact that its wet perhaps not cooling down to water and pumping out fully, also check that the filter is clean....

thermostat/ or element//Good luck

This isn't an add its two different units that I have installed and are both condensation dryers. Which in my opinion is better for your needs and lacking venting.....LG and Miele also have 15 cycle so now the decision is what your needs and Budget. Prices range from 700-1500 but well worth the money. Bosch Axxis Condensation Dryer (model: WTMC8320US) you can machine-dry clothes without venting hot, moist air (or indeed any air at all).

I hope this was helpfull~ Have a good day

its either going to be fluff in the float which you can get at by taken the side panel off .or its fluff in the valve behind the water tank

Check the relay switch.

There is a thermostat inside the machine just inside and top, put your head in and look up. Took my whole machine apart before finding the wire which led to it!! It should be Normally Closed (NC) and cuts the power to the heating element when too hot or broken! Hope this helps.

Bolts

this will be a problem with your thermostats 1 of them will have a thermal cut-out switch built onto it this thermostat needs replacing it is faulty
