Zanussi ZDC46130W sensor adjustment?

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the moisture sensor on a Zanussi ZDC46130W Tumble drier. It keeps stopping and saying that the clothes are dry but they are still very damp. Thank you.

This IS indeed a sensor model that also has timed drying as an option.

I agree, the sensor programmes switch off far too early, leaving the laundry very damp indeed. They need adjusted, so how do you do it?

There isn't a moisture sensor on this model.You select the time and press start?.It's not an autosensing model??

This means one of 5 things
1) When did you last wash out the condensor behind bottom left flap?.Pull it out and wash it through until it is perfectly clean and you can see straight through it
2) The heater is a dual element.Are BOTH parts working or indeed are any of them working?
3) Inside the drum up at the top behind the door is a thermostat.These can go open circuit BUT this would cause a NO HEAT WHAT SO EVER problem
4) Drum not going round because belt or tensioner wheel has failed
5) Problem with the control pcb.Not a common issue but have been know to cause issues
