Good Points

Great product - has worked for years but then failed - the On/Off button - seems to be a known design fault.


Bad Points

Service - local company wanted £106 + VAT to come out and take a look, then add Time & Materials on top.


General Comments

Checked on internet for this Zanussi TCE7276W and found these reviews, so I decided to fix it myself. Found a company online called "4Zanussi" based in the UK. With the unit unplugged from the mains, I removed the top panel (two screws at the rear). Removed the water tank from the front and the two screws that we revealed once the tank was removed, plus two more on the top (visible now the top panel was removed) and then gently eased the front display panel out taking care not to break any tabs. The wiring connector can then simply be eased off of the PCB and the whole front panel is then free. I then removed the four PCB mounting screws holding it to the front panel which revealed the clear plastic diffuser (the culprit). The design using brittle plastic had broken at the On/Off button location and therefore was not making contact with the PCB micro-switch. I ordered a new genuine diffuser online, which cost £6.49 + postage. It arrived in three days. Worked perfectly. Tumble dryer is working fine and the new design is clearly going to last a lot longer and I am £100 at least better off. Hope this helps someone else too!
