    My TDC62’s active light won’t clear rendering the dryer useless, any ideas ? Will go off when switched to Zero but comes on again after selecting any option !

    Firstly check the filter is clear, the water tank is empty, the door is shut….If yes is the answer to all 3 then the machine needs expert attention (see below).

    Could be a connection problem with the wiper contact?…TOC? etc etc….worth getting expert advise 😉

    Thanks, all checks done as suggested still active light on !

    Where is the wiper contact ?
    Thought myself that it may be a sensor problem (why can’t I just have a machine that does as it’s told IE TURN IT ON FOR 45 MINS THEN FINISH ETC) Checked brush on top off drum, relays click on PCB when trying to select program but still active light on.

    Thanks

    That is almost certainly a dryness module fault. If the light stays on when the dryer does the short, anti clockwise tumble the module has failed. Still best to get it checked out first, quite an expensive part.

    Thanks, the wife bought this dryer from an internet site that specialised in returned goods. Guess we know why it was returned !!
    Recommend that if you are thinking about buying this model, DON’T !
    Only had it a couple of months and not great at drying.
    The dump is calling !

    By the way the active light is rendering the dryer un-usable ie it won’t accept any setting. It will clear when set to zero but comes on when you select a program to start !

    The moral of the story is , buy from a reputable local independant retailer who knows all about the products they are selling, and who will also give you first class back up should things go wrong. That model has been in production for a quite a while now, it could be that your machine is a few years old.
    I have several customers with that model that have little or no problems with them.
    It is possible to date your machine if you give us the first two numbers of the serial number.

    Then it is still under guarantee surely, even if it were “returned goods” ??

    From http://www.clearance-comet.co.uk/ :-

    The products on auction are all clearance items, although there are various product conditions including:

    All of the products displayed on the clearance website are fully operational and come with a one year guarantee.

    😀

    Thanks for the info, very usefull !

    The wife reckons zero paperwork arrived with the dryer, just a delivery docket.

    Looking into it, thanks again !
