Zanussi Dryer TCE 7227 stops during a cycle. The end of program light flashes and beeps 6 times, pauses, repeats 6 beeps. The end of program light is the 3rd one down with an arrow inside a tub which is pointing up and to the right. The drum is still spinning, but nothing gets dry. (I'm posting this here for the benefit of others as I think I have solved it...)

This is what happens during wrinkle guard. During the end of the cycle a dryer will go into wrinkle guard to protect clothes from being wrinkled. Either the timer is stuck in this position or it is set in this position. Wrinkle guard can be called different names depending on manufacture.

Could be anything!
If you suspect that there is a fault then it will be displayed by blinking LED "END OF CYCLE". As the display of failure in hexadecimal code it can flash up to max. 15 times than short pause and after that repeat fault code. You must to count the number of times the LED "END OF CYCLE" flash up.

Example from user manual: Anti-flood device is activated.
- continuous flashing of the indicator light of the running programme
- 3 intermittent audible signals
- 3 flashes of the END OF CYCLE indicator light
(which means "i30" fault code, the cycle is interrupted and the
drain pump switches on).
Possible causes:
Water leakage from the tub - sump and various connections
(pump, upper spray arm duct etc.); floating sensor blocked
mechanically; microswitch faulty; fill solenoid blocked
mechanically; circuit board faulty (solenoid triac short-circuited);
wiring faulty.
Could be also:
To cancel a washing programme in progress:
- Open the dishwasher's door.
- Press the programme selection/cancel button for about 3 seconds,
until the indicator light of the running programme turns off and the
END OF CYCLE indicator light flashes, indicating that the running
programme has been cancelled and that the machine has
returned to setting mode. It is now possible to select another
washing programme. If a new washing programme will be
selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.

NOTE: only during the drying phase, if the dishwasher's door will be opened and remains open for more then 30 seconds, the running programme will be automatically cancelled and the machine will return to setting mode. This will happen, always only during the drying phase, also when the machine is switched off by pressing the
On/Off button and remains switched off for more then 30 seconds.

if you watch carefully, the end light flashes and then stops, and then flashes again... how many times flashes?

See if it is overloaded or the clothes are excessively wet... Take out 1/2 the clothes and try again.

Hello, have you cleaned the condensor stack just recently if so check that the stack etc is fitted correctly and the door is closed fully.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Has the condenser been cleaned lately if it is not put back in correctly then sometimes the micro switch on the door does not click in,check this door where the condenser sits.

Hope this helps.

Carolsquires, I have the same problem with 7227, did you get a solution?

the dryer is telling you a trouble code like in a car when something is malfunctioning with it, try to call your manufacturer and ask them to tell you what that code means.

I think you should read the instruction manual . 3 beeps means some information to begin a solutin.

This is a motor problem the end light flashing 5 times indicates error E50. The motor has either got wet or has just failed i would suggest trying to dry it 1st but i would suspect the motor has gone down to earth usually having to replace it. The part no.
