Can't get it to work yourself? Contact a technician. Read which errors there are and how to solve them here.
Zanussi error CD
The door won't close.
- Check if there's laundry between the door.
- Put it back in the drum.
- Close the door until you hear a click.
Zanussi error CE or CF
This indicates electronic issues. Zanussi recommends you call the customer service.
Zanussi error C2, E20, E21, or E22
There's an issue with the condensation drain of your dryer.
- Test if the condensation drain hose is properly attached on both sides.
- Check if there's a kink or loop in the hose. If so, remove it.
Zanussi error C6
There's an issue with the humidity sensors of the dryer. Make sure it's plugged into an earthed socket. You can recognize these sockets by the metal pins at the top and bottom.
Zanussi error C8, E70, E71, or E72
The temperature sensor has malfunctioned. Zanussi recommends you call a technician.
Zanussi error EH0 or EHO
The dryer doesn't receive any power.
- Make sure the plug is properly plugged into the socket.
- Test to see if a different product does work when plugged into this socket.
- Doesn't the other product work either? That means there's something wrong with the power supply and not with the dryer.
- Check your fuse box and make sure the right switch is on.
Zanussi error E60 or E63
The dryer can't get warm enough.
- Remove large pieces of dust from the lint trap.
- Rinse the lint trap under the faucet.
- Clean it with your fingertips.
- Dry the lint trap with a clean cloth and put it back.
- Clean the condenser at the bottom of the dryer.
Zanussi error E90 or E91

Error 'empty reservoir' appears
When the light for the condenser reservoir comes on, the reservoir is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the reservoir back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. The drain also shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
