Hi I'm Mat from eSpares
in this video I'll be showing you how to change a heater it is a Zanussi tumble dryer.
If your heater has failed your machine may be running but it won't get warm
and dry your clothes and it may well trip your fuse board in your home so you'll need to replace it.
Safety first: Always unplug an appliance before carrying out any work.
The next thing I need to do is to remove the top of the appliance by undoing these two screws at the back.
With the top removed the next thing I need to do is to remove the heat shield
it's held in place by these three screws.
After you remove the three screws just release the clips.
With the heat shield out the way now I can remove the heater cover
which is held in place by these 15 screws.
These three screws at the bottom a slightly larger
so for these are going to be using a Phillips head screwdriver.
And here we have the heater
it's connected inside so to be able to disconnect the heater
I now need to remove the side panel.
The side panel is held in place by the four screws at the back
and a screw at the top inside here.
It can be fiddly to get to so if you have a similar screw in a similar position
make sure you don't drop it inside the cabinet.
So disconnect the heater here.
Now I can unscrew the heater and pull the cabling through.
So grab your new heater feed the cabling inside.
Make sure you attach the rubber grommet correctly into the back of your dryer
and then you can simply screw the heater into place.
Make sure all the surplus wiring has been pushed into the rubber grommet
you can now replace the heater cover.
Next the heat shield pop the clips into place and then refit the three screws.
Reconnect the heater making sure all the wires are correctly in place.
To refit the side panel make sure the pegs at the bottom are in place hold it firmly
while you work the side peg in, and then you're free to screw it back together.
All that's left is to replace the top of the dryer.
So there we have it, one new heater fitted to this is a Zanussi tumble dryer.
Remember spares and accessories for all the appliances around your home
