From 30 Years of AEG, Zanussi & Electrolux Repairs
Common AEG Tumble Dryer Faults
These are the faults we see most often on AEG and Zanussi tumble dryers — from genuine day-to-day experience over 30 years across heat pump, condenser and vented models.
Not Drying / Poor Drying
Most common fault on heat pump and condenser models — a blocked heat exchanger or condenser restricting airflow. Clean all accessible filters before calling us out. On heat pump models there are usually two filters — regular cleaning is essential to maintain drying performance.
Clean filters first — may save a call-out
Cutting Out Early
Machine stops mid-cycle — usually a failed thermostat caused by restricted airflow from blocked filters or a blocked condenser. On AEG and Zanussi machines the thermostat simply fails and needs replacing — some are also integrated into the heater assembly. The underlying airflow issue must be addressed at the same time.
Thermostat replacement required
Belt & Tension Pulley Failure
Drum not rotating — snapped belt or worn tension pulley. Tension pulley wear is a common fault on older AEG models specifically and can cause the belt to slip or fail prematurely. Straightforward repair — parts carried as standard.
Common on older AEG models
Capacitor Failure
Motor capacitor failure is a common fault on older AEG tumble dryers — more so than on some other brands. The drum motor struggles to start or stops running. Capacitors are inexpensive and straightforward to replace once diagnosed.
Common on older AEG models
Temperature Sensor Failure
Failed temperature sensor on heat pump models causes the machine to shut down or not heat properly. Needs proper diagnosis to confirm before parts are ordered — can be confused with a blocked heat exchanger fault.
Diagnosis required first
Heat Pump Compressor Failure
The most significant heat pump dryer fault. Compressor failure means the refrigerant circuit isn't working and the machine won't heat effectively. Repair cost often tips into replacement territory. We'll always give you an honest assessment.
