Servicing Notes
1. No Motor Action
When diagnosing the cause of no motor action, it should be remembered that one of the door
switches is in the motor supply and its operation and wiring should also be checked.
2. Suspect System Fault
If a system fault is suspected follow these Steps to confirm the System is the problem.
Set the machine to an Auto Cycle, these checks assume the machine has not been recently used
and does not contain any clothes.
Remember - if the machine is stopped for any reason, the compressor will not re-start for 5 minutes.
1.
Are both the air duct and the heat exchange filters clean?
2.
With the heat exchanger filter removed, are the evaporator fins clogged or have signs of fluff.
(If the machine is used with the heat exchange filter not in place, or the filter is not regularly
cleaned, the evaporator air flow path will become blocked and the clothes will not dry).
- Is the compressor running?
3.
If the compressor is not running, check the following:
- The Compressor capacitor and wiring.
- Check the module connectors and wiring.
- Check the compressor cut out.
4.
With a thermometer sensor positioned under the
rear fan/air duct cover (within the airflow), (care
must be taken not to foul the sensor against the
drum or the motor rear fan), operate the dryer to
check there is a temperature rise within 10 minutes.
(Temperature values shown in these photographs
indicate a few degrees rise after a few minutes
testing.)
5.
Does the front fan turn on after about 20 minutes of
operation?
Note:
The front fan only comes on intermittently
during the early stages of the cycle.
Step 1
Position the sensor
in the airflow zone
shown
Step 2
Refit the Cover
Take care not to damage
the sensor cable
