Zanussi Z716WT83BI drying cycle stops with double beep and no heat

The problem

Integrated washer dryer Zanussi Z716WT83BI was reported not to heat on the drying cycle. The drying programme started but stopped after about 1 to 5 minutes with a double beep. The poster had already changed a heating element, checked the front drain and cleared minor lint, but the drying fault remained.

Likely cause

The discussion indicates the fault is on the drying side only, which has its own heater, thermostats and controls separate from the wash heating system. The strongest diagnosis suggested was that the drying heater may not be operating and the appliance may be aborting the cycle, although another drying-system fault causing an early abort was also considered possible.

What fixed it

No confirmed repair was posted. Recommended diagnosis was to determine whether the drying heater had run before the cycle aborted; if not, investigation should focus on the drying heater circuit and related controls. Exact failed part or repair was not confirmed in the thread.

Checks to try

• Wash and dry functions distinguished as separate systems
• Drying cycle observed stopping early with double beep
• Front drain checked
• Minor lint cleared
