Zanussi EH0 on a dryer: possible power supply problem
Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
On a Zanussi tumble dryer, EH0 (or EHO, or any code starting with EH) signals a possible power supply problem. Test the socket with another appliance, never use an extension lead and reset the dryer after 30 seconds unplugged.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Do not measure the voltage yourself or open the socket or the dryer: that is a job for an electrician or the service. A warm or blackened socket must not be used.
Safe checks you can perform
- Socket tested with another appliance
- No extension lead
- Reset
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Supply measurement at the socket
- Do not attempt this professional task: Dryer electronics check
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Supply measurement at the socket
What they doAn electrician uses a multimeter to measure the voltage and earth at the dryer socket and checks the circuit.
They must show youthe measured voltage and earth values.
In writingthe values measured and the conclusion about the wiring.
Dryer electronics check
What they doWith the socket correct, Zanussi's technician checks the mains cable and the power electronics with the diagnostic tool.
They must show youthe diagnostic reading and the failing part.
In writingthe cause, the part replaced with its part number and a test drying cycle.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Socket tested with another appliance
- Who:
- you, no tools.
- How:
- unplug the dryer and connect another appliance you know works to the same socket.
- Result that matters:
- whether the socket gives a stable supply.
- If the other appliance also fails:
- call an electrician to check the wiring.
- If the other appliance works:
- remove any extension lead and reset.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of the appliance tried.

No extension lead
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- if the dryer is on a power strip or extension lead, plug it straight into the wall socket.
- Result that matters:
- ruling out a voltage drop in the extension.
- If plugged in directly it works:
- do not use an extension again.
- If it was already direct or the code continues:
- do the reset.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of the connection.

Reset
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- unplug the dryer, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, switch it on and select a programme.
- Result that matters:
- whether it was a brief variation.
- If it dries without the code:
- it was a one-off.
- If the code returns:
- contact Zanussi's service and give the exact code.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the exact code.

What it means
Zanussi says EH0 points to a possible problem with the power supply, such as voltage too low or too high or an unstable supply, and that the same applies to any code starting with EH, such as EH1 or EH2. The dryer checks the power it receives before heating and turning. The cause can be the socket, an extension lead, the wiring or the dryer's electronics; the code does not tell them apart.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Higheditorial warning
Do not measure the voltage yourself or open the socket or the dryer: that is a job for an electrician or the service. A warm or blackened socket must not be used.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Socket or household wiringCommon

Zanussi says never to use an extension cable with the dryer.

- Brief unstable supplyPossible
A short variation clears with a reset; if it does not repeat, there is nothing to repair.
Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0
- Dryer electronicsPossible
With the socket fine and the reset done, if the code returns, Zanussi's service checks it.
