Having problems with aBove dryer . Customer sopped using machine because when the drum was turned by hand , she could here water sloshing about ! My first thought was a failed pump . Pump runs and pumps if fed by a seperate mains supply . Ther is 240 volt across pump supply leads when dry is running . If you pour water into the small tank at the rear containing the pump and float switch , with the dryer running , it pumps this water up to the top tank . I therefore assume there is a blockage between the condenser air circuit , and the tank containing the pump . What I cant figure out is how the water is supposed to enter the pump tank . Does anyone know ? Is there some other problem I have overlooked . Any theories welcome .
Re: Proline model TDC7A condenser dryer
Dont know what or who that model is but generaly all condensers feed the pump by gravity from under the condenser itself. Must be a pipe or hole in that housing where the water runs through.
Re: Proline model TDC7A condenser dryer
If you remove condensor there is a small rectangle hole at the back which drains the water from the condensor to the pump chamber, the most common fault is the condensor choked up as the cust does,nt re,alise they heve to clean usualy causes them to trip the mains if they have an earth leakage trip.
Re: Proline model TDC7A condenser dryer
Right, thats just a Creda/Hotpoint thing. Cannot understand where you are hearing the water sloshing around though…unless the fan is immersed.
Re: Proline model TDC7A condenser dryer
Standard Hotpoint/Creda. Water sloshing about will probably be in the bottom of the element cover where the hot air fan is. Probably needs a good clean of the condensor and the float chamber at the back. Sorry but to clean the float chamber is a pain in the neck job. 😥

Float chamber is pimps to clean 10 to 15 mins tops if you know how?

Don’t leave me guessing then. 😕
Re: Proline model TDC7A condenser dryer
Thanks to everyone for help given . Had another look today , and johnnyj was spot on . If you unclip the top half of the pump tank , you can then unclip and lift out the pump/ float switch assembly . Inverting the pump will reveal its inlet which was partially blocked . The tank inlet is on the far wall of the tank , bottom left of tank as viewed from rear of machine . I pushed a double length of flexible insulated wire into this passage and then pulled it out the other end which is reached by removing the condenser . You have to stick your arm right in and reach round the corner . Whilst you are in there you can extract loads of wet smeg , a bit like being a vet I suppose . I am almost certain the fault is now clear . Final working test tomorrow . Thanks again lads . I guess this is what Whitegoods is all about .
