Zanussi Wjs1265w Washer Dryer Error Code E10

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Zanussi Wjs1265w shows E10 shortly after starting dry cycle

The problem

The Zanussi Wjs1265w washer dryer completed wash cycles normally but, about 5 minutes into any drying programme, stopped with error code E10. The user noted that water supply was present for washing and queried why cold water is needed during drying.

Likely cause

The strongest diagnosis in the discussion is failure of the separate inlet valve solenoid used for the dryer/condenser water feed. Although the main wash water supply was working, the accepted reply explained that washer dryers can use a different solenoid for the drying function.

What fixed it

Check the cold water inlet valve assembly, specifically the separate solenoid serving the dryer/condenser circuit. The discussion explains that cold water is required during drying to run through the condenser chamber and turn steam back into water for pumping away. The exact repair carried out was not confirmed in the thread.

Checks to try

• Wash cycle water intake was reported as working normally
• Fault occurred around 5 minutes into every dry cycle
• Error code E10 was reported
• Accepted reply identified separate solenoids for wash/conditioner/dryer functions
