Hi, I have an indesit condenser dryer. I noticed last night that when I press the button to switch on the machine makes the usual noise like there’s power but the drum doesn’t spin, or spins for a while then stops. I tried again this morning and there was a little smoke and burning smell that looked like it came from the control panel area (could be wrong) so I switched off and removed the plug. I removed the top and there was loads of dust in there so I gave it a good hoover out but couldn’t see any burnt out components on the back of the control panel or anything else that looked damaged so I plugged it back in and gave it another go and it started operating normally, it was spinning and heating up. This lasted for about 10 minutes and then it stopped spinning again. What can I check? It doesn’t’t seem terminal to me so I don’t really want to throw it out just yet if it can be fixed.
of you push the drum does it seem to move ok
there will be resistance from the motor and belt but it should move
are you testing with or without load ?
DaveYes pushing the drum its fine. There is a load in but as you say there is a bit of resistance but it turns easy enough
ok let me have all the models and numbers off the label inside the door
need to see which motor is fitted
Also try
top off
turn on and see if motor runs when you give the drum a pushDave
